Open pedagogy in the ONL course

Posted on by Liv Lofthus

The topic for the last two weeks has been really interesting. Openness in education is so important both for learners and teachers. It makes education accessible for more people, and the sharing of good Open Educational Resources is a great way to do this. According to the Hewlett Foundation (https://hewlett.org/strategy/open-educational-resources/) OERs are “teaching, learning and […]

Openness?

Posted on by Christiane Schnabel

These weeks’ topic is openness. With this one, I have struggled a bit to get into it. The materials did not seem too appealing to me at first and in the webinar I had difficulties to really get involved. My initial impression was “Openness? Sure, it’s a good thing. You should be open. What is […]

Openness in education – What is it about?

Posted on 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 […]

Open learning- sharing and openness (Topic 2)

Posted on by Lotta Eronen

This topic has been eye opening from a professional perspective. In my masters studies I am at the moment participating a course that is shared between two Universities in Finland. We are using an IT- platform for learning, that is used in the other University, and not used in our own University. It is a […]

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

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).
