Forget the “default model”: Collaborative learning- it works

Posted on April 22, 2019 by Mesfin Tessma

“The main object is to find a method by which teachers teach less but learners learn more” (John Amos Comenius, a 16th Century scholar). The default mode in teaching and learning is the traditional face-to-face, teacher centered method. But studies indicated this method is not effective in promoting learning. It’s always revealing to see how … Continue reading Forget the “default model”: Collaborative learning- it works

The Value of Learning Communities

Posted on April 19, 2019 by James Brunton

Rather than try to answer the question myself of why there is value in being a member of a learning community, or even better several learning communities, I decided to ask some of the other participants at the marvellous OER19 conference that took place in beautiful Galway city, Ireland on the 10th and 11th of … Continue reading The Value of Learning Communities →

Posted on April 18, 2019 by Hafizah Osman

It has been whirlwind of activities for me on the professional, and personal front over the past month or so, making it a lot more challenging for me to keep up with my ONL work.

Reflecting on topic 3 – curating in the sea of knowledge

Posted on April 17, 2019 by Judy Botha

One of the things that I found interesting about topic 3 was personal learning networks – what they are, how we use them and how they can work in conjunction with a more formal learning community. Now, in the digital era, if you connect with people via social media, you essentially have a personal learning … Continue reading Reflecting on topic 3 – curating in the sea of knowledge →

Topic 3

Some conclusions drawn while working on topic 3 regarding how to organize active courses. There are differencies between in campus and distance courses, but on the otherhand I think that both types of cources need to be designed in the same way to be relevant in the future.

Learning in communities – networked collaborative learning

Posted on April 17, 2019 by Leah Okenwa Emegwa

I have attended several courses in teaching and learning in higher education and many of them are often designed as learning communities or learning networks. I love the way that knowledge is not only shared but also co-created in personal learning networks (PLN). In the task for week 3, i think we got confused in … Continue reading Learning in communities – networked collaborative learning
