Sharing and Openness in an Age of Uncertainty

Posted on April 15, 2019 by Miriam Bak McKenna

It was perhaps extremely fitting that Topic 2 coincided with the busiest time of the year for me: exam period (during which time both of my kids helpfully decided to contract chicken pox). It was a situation that allowed to reflect on some of the key benefits and detriments of open learning. If we … Continue reading Sharing and Openness in an Age of Uncertainty

Enhanced existence

Posted on April 15, 2019 by Elisabeth Öhman

In Sweden, we like working together, having meetings, creating groups for evaluation of group work and creating meetings for evaluation of meetings… This is exaggerating a bit – (and who am I to write this, as I have been living mostly in Finland for the last 30 years?!) – but I want to discuss an … Fortsätt läsa Enhanced existence

Love, hate & collaborate

Posted on April 15, 2019 by Sarah Hagström

Group work can be fun, but it can also be horrible and challenging and include a lot of emotions. When my PBL group started working with Topic 3, on Learning in communities, we started our first group meeting with doing both self assessment and group assessment. We have identified some problems in our own team … Continue reading Love, hate & collaborate →

Embrace the frustration!

Posted on April 15, 2019 by Magdalena Sandell

Frustration is a necessity for learning. Without some level of frustration, there is no learning. When you struggle to learn something new, you are going to feel frustrated. When you get new information or facts that requires an update of your way of thinking, it causes frustration. Capdeferro & Romano are investigating frustration in online … Continue reading Embrace the frustration! →

Online collaborative learning

Posted on April 14, 2019 by Maria Sandborgh

My best experience of collaborative learning was actually the latest PBL-group work on how to create and sustain an internet course that promotes collaborative learning. In truth, it was not the actual contents but the format of the presentation that was the best experience. We used Prezi, which I had tried before but did not … Continue reading Online collaborative learning →

Topic 3: Learning in Communities

Posted on April 14, 2019 by Jorge Moreno

Networked collaborative learning In this topic I will try to answer the question on the case scenario: How to get people to really recognize the value of becoming part of a learning community? I think the question is complicated and may not be just one answer to it but different answers from different perspectives. But […]

Topic 3 Learning in Communities; Networked Collaborative Learning.

Posted on April 14, 2019 by Florence Oloo

This was topic 3 that proved an initial challenge to get deep into the subject matter. Due to change in time zones I missed the webinar and the tweet chat (this latter due to the late hour). I later accessed the recording twice but it was not the same as attending the synchronous event. This … Continue reading Topic 3 Learning in Communities; Networked Collaborative Learning. →

Online collaborative learning. The future of education or just another source of frustration?

Posted on April 13, 2019 by Dimitrios Andreou

Computer-supported collaborative learning (CSCL) has two important characteristics: the digital part and the collaborative part. I need to emphasize that I believe that CSLC is the future of education as the digital space and tools combine synchronous and asynchronous learning methods that in combination enhance learning, and further, they make the impossible possible, that is … Continue reading Online collaborative learning.

ONL: chances and challenges 2019-04-12 20:05:30

Posted on April 12, 2019 by Katarzyna Bobrowicz

Collaboration is tricky; I believe that good collaboration is a thousand times better than working individually, bad bad collaboration is ten thousand times worse. When I feel that my collaborators put less effort than I do, I quickly become frustrated. Going into Topic 3, I felt that a majority of provided materials summed up to … Continue reading →

Learning in communities – networked collaborative learning

Posted on April 12, 2019 by Ana Maria Barral

Topic 3 of the ONL191 course was difficult. For a number of personal circumstances (myself included) only a few could participate in each synchronous lesson. The ones I participated in included interesting and thought provoking discussions. Two major issues came together, the collaborative and the online aspect of learning. How to make them work at […]

Open or Not? Ask me again in a few years …

Posted on April 11, 2019 by Hafizah Osman

I’ve always thought of myself as a fairly open person. I’m open to new experiences, learning new things, and exploring new ideas. That said, I am also mindful of being too open – especially when it comes to sharing my personal life and sharing my private thoughts about contentious issues. Don’t get me wrong, I am all for open and intelligent debate, but these must …
