The end of the course – final thoughts

For this reflection I am using the guiding questions: What are the most important things you have learned through your engagement in the ONL course? Why? That collaborative work can be fun and enriching! In the ONL course I have learned how a functioning Blended Learning course can be designed, how much influence the participants […]

Topic 4: Blended Learning – some thoughts

When thinking about a Blended Learning course I am a bit hesitant. I love the idea of blending synchronous and asynchronous phases as both offer a variety of opportunities and can encourage learning in different ways. The perfect mix can get the students to great learning outcomes. But why am I hesitant? Because there need […]

Collaborative working exceeded my expectations

Learning communities are not an unknown concept. We basically start when we are students at school. Mostly, we do not see the advantages (except when you are the person who is free riding). Mostly it is more work and less efficient. BUT when I got older and started university I realised that there are some […]

Long way towards residency

These two weeks of the course thinking about online participation and digital literacies I am now more aware of what it contains. I want to see the meta level where I am a student and on the other hand a teacher. Not so long ago I have been a student at the university, being thrown […]

When a journey comes to an end

The very last week of my ONL experience has started and I’m trying to find the time to truely reflect on the whole experience. I feel sorry that I don’t have a lot of room in my busy week to go back through the topics, scroll through the literature and find a take home message […]

Course design – to blend or not to blend?

Again, group sessions for this topic included a lot of discussions about terminology. What is blended learning? What is online teaching? Does blending always mean having online and offline courses?However, everybody immediately knew whats’s meant by emergency remote teaching, the term says it all. The sudden switch to online teaching and learning was especially hard […]
