Cultivating Open Minds: Unveiling the Power of Education and Democracy
Working with topic 2 has definitely been an eye-opener for me. As I wrote in my previous blog post, I entered this course with quite a bit of confidence and the belief that I had a pretty good grasp of the subject matter. In our group work, we chose to focus on the definition of […]
Topic 2 #ONL241 Beyond the Walls: Exploring the Landscape of Open Science and Education
Photo by Jaredd Craig on Unsplash The topic of openness in science and education is becoming increasingly relevant in today’s society.

Technology “came” to me
Topic 1: Online participation and digital literacies reflection My most memorable interaction with technology was in primary school.
