Openness in education

Posted on October 31, 2019 by Marja Elonheimo

During the last weeks we have been thinking, talking and investigating the topic of Open learning – sharing and openness in our course and PBL group.

I just read through a review of the book DIY U: Edupunks, Edupreneurs, and the Coming Transformation of Higher Education by Anya Kamenetz (2010). The title was intriguing. And her message seems to be too.

Openness in education – What is it about?

Posted on October 28, 2019 by Karin Bergman

The last two weeks have been about openness in education. My first thoughts on this topic was that this is something that I don’t work a lot with, and also that I don’t really have any intention of doing so. However, when we have discussed this topic and I have read more about it I […]

Public scenes and training arenas – reflections on open and closed technologies for teaching and learning

Posted on October 23, 2019 by Karin Bolldén

One main take home message from Topic 2: Open education is that open and closed should be seen as ends on a continuum rather than two fixed categories (we discussed this with Creelman and Oddone during the webinar). If continuing that line of reasoning, it becomes interesting to reflect upon how you position yourself on … Continue reading Public scenes and training arenas – reflections on open and closed technologies for teaching and learning
