Where the wind blows – Connection week

Posted on by Vallentine Kekana

The first week on ONL241 encompassed us introducing ourselves numerous times and being in sheer awe of what educators, creators, experiment-ors, researchers and one airport engineer passionately showing us a Singaporean airport. Mind blowing stuff I tell you! With a slight existential limp, I trudge heavy footed along. As part of PBL241 group 2, we […]

Getting started

Posted on by Annette Q Pedersen

Glad to be here and looking forward to meeting you all! I am Annette and work in a university pedagogical unit at the UCPH, helping teachers at HUM, THEO, LAW and Social Science at UCPH develop their competencies in teaching – mainly the digital aspects for my part.

ONL 241 – reflection space

Posted on by Annette Q Pedersen

I’ll be using this WordPress site as my reflection space for the ONL241 course – which I think is what we (10 years ago at least) used to call an X-MOOC, collaborate and all that. It’s starting today, so here we go! For anything more finished (and useful for others) I’ll probably be posting it […]

Textbooks, case studies, reference books and other teaching materials can be a heavyContinue reading “Open Minds”

Digital Literacy(ies?)

Posted on by KHO Su Yian

The concept of literacy has become more multi-faceted and complex as technology, pedagogy and social consciousness have progressed. Just being able to read and write in one language is no longer sufficient in today’s society and workplace. Today it’s widely acknowledged that there are multiple literacies and literacies are not necessarily universal, but contextual toContinue reading “Digital Literacy(ies?)”

Microlearning

Posted on by KHO Su Yian

I am currently interested in the concept of microlearning. We are all strapped for time nowadays, and Zoom fatigue has probably overwhelmed students and educators alike. Asynchronous learning that is short, but still impactful and active, might be a good option for busy people who can’t carve out 2 hours of their day for aContinue reading “Microlearning”
