I have finished the Open Network Learning (ONL) course in this May. This course starts at March and lasts for two months. During the two months, I feel quite comfortable of this learning style, as it breaks the ice of communicating with strangers. This type of learning could be helpful on my future course designContinue reading “ONL211 Topic 5”

Topic 4 In this topic, we discussed about the blended learning, especially in Covid-19 situation. I started by watching Dr. M. Cleveland-Innes’s video [1], from which I saw the question she proposed for blended learning. ‘How to design effecive online blended learning?’. Most of teachers have heard about thte blended learning, however, few of themContinue reading “ONL211 Topic 4”

The Covid pandemic has boosted global online education needs. As a teacher, I wanted to learn new things to deal with increased online learning needs and, therefore, I join the international Open online learning course (ONL211). The course is divided in several topics, and in Topic 1 we looked at online participation and digital literacies.Continue reading “Topic 1: Participation online and digital literacies”

Through the course, I’ve learnt about things such as problem-based learning, pedagogic digital competences, open learning, collaborative learning, blended learning, and many others. I also had the chance to interact with people originating or living all aroundContinue reading “Open Network Learning: Lessons learnt – Future practice”

Hej! 2020 has been the year when higher education institutions responded to the impact of Covid-19 in an unprecedented manner. Many teachers have had to re-think traditional teaching practices and adopt method better suited to the present situation. A wide range of teaching and learning models exist out there, but are we really aware ofContinue reading “Design for online and blended learning”

Finally it is time for some reflection and meta-comments about my experience with the ONL202 course. I will organize this post around three main themes: (1) my general remarks about the way this course designed and unfolded, (2) my main take-aways, (3) the road ahead. To begin with, I think that the course is veryContinue reading “Some Reflections on my Experience with ONL202: Looking Back and Road Ahead”

The fourth topic of the ONL course was focused on designing the courses for online and blended (i.e., “the organic integration of thoughtfully selected and complementary face-to-face and online approaches” as defined bay Garrison & Vaughan [2008: 148]) environments. The leitmotif of this week has been the Community of Inquiry (CoI) Framework, which was introducedContinue reading “Digitized Socialization: A Catch-22?”

What an amazing journey! I must admit that I was a bit reluctant to register for the course after knowing about the workload and efforts that are needed.
