A course, a community, an approach
Hi! I am a family physician. Will be interesting to connect with other educators around the world.
I am currently interested in the concept of microlearning. We are all strapped for time nowadays, and Zoom fatigue has probably overwhelmed students and educators alike. Asynchronous learning that is short, but still impactful and active, might be a good option for busy people who can’t carve out 2 hours of their day for aContinue reading “Microlearning”
I am happy to be a part of this course and curious about the weeks to come. Since I joined NUS I have already learned so much and I am looking forward to learn more in this inspiring international learning environment. A kind of magical word for me is digital literacy, that was mentioned inContinue reading “Introduction Post”

Hi All! I am Farida from KK Hospital, Singapore. Taking this opportunity to introduce myself (blogging for the first time!). Decided to take up this challenge and doing something new in hoping to learn and understand the different ways and tools /platforms that can be used to further engage and empower the learners. I amContinue reading “ONL211 LEARNING JOURNEY”
I’m really excited to be taking this course. New ways to learn keep my brain cells alive! Putting myself into situations that I may not be entirely familiar or comfortable with are a great way to feel the pulse of the world today, and to connect with myself. I am a scientist-educator-career coach, but atContinue reading “Getting connected with ONL211”
At each of four topics in ONL, Digital literacy, Open learning, Learning in communities, and Online & blended learning, the discussion and the webinar were always beyond what I expected to have. Digital Literacy For instance, in digital literacy, I realised that I have been just agreeing with people saying ‘students are good with technology.…Read more [Topic5] Me before ONL 202, and after ONL 202
In our final post, we are asked to critically reflect on our overall ONL202 learning journey. To that end, we are given five guiding questions. What are the most important things that you learnt through your engagement in the ONL course? How will your learning influence your practice? What are your thoughts on using tech […]
This, for me, is the most relevant topic so far. I was motivated to take ONL202 so I could become a more competent online educator. Although I couldn’t get through the 35-min intro ppt (sorry, but what was the thinking there ?), I did find the other materials much more useful. Salmon’s 5-stage model gives […]
This third ONL202 topic alienated me a bit at first. As I watched Kay Oddone’s YouTube videos (1 and 2) on the theory and practice of personal learning networks (PLNs) and read the studies by Capdeferro & Romero and Brindley et al, I felt kind of ‘meh’. Quite a contrast from how content for the […]
My first impression to ‘Open Education’ was rather sceptical, perhaps due to my personal perception of the word ‘Open Education’. Copy right issue and non-authorised sharing of materials were some of the past experiences in open education for me. However this time, I would like to learn more what ‘Open Education’ really means. While reading…Read more [Topic 2] Co-creation in Open education
Look at this mind map (from the GEF site). It conceptualises the state of the Global Commons. The thing I kept thinking about during Ragupathi & Creelman’s podcast, David Wiley’s Ted Talk and Dave Cormier’s primer on MOOCs and while reading Chapter 11 in Teaching in a Digital Age. I mean, yes, other thoughts came […]
