 After attending ONL211, I started to dig deep in my memories about the time where collaborative learning took place during my school days, and i couldn’t remember any. However , there were unintentional episode of collaborative learning at the wo…

ONL211 has been an exhilarating experience. I leave this course only to take with me all that I have learnt in the hope that much of it will be put into practice.

There are many ways to design and conduct a blended learning course, but it is no mean feat for anContinue reading “The wonders (and challenges) of blended learning”

Topic 4 has been a challenging mountain to climb. In writing this blog, I was to consider the perspective of the educator in designing for learning. The perspectives of learners and teachers are different. And being on the other side as a learner during the ONL211 journey has shed light on what it is likeContinue reading “Exploring the synergies of active learning in a community of inquiry”
