Thoughts around digital literacy.

Posted on October 8, 2019 by Shanice Adams

What is digital literacy? In my opinion, digital literacy is the ability to navigate and use the digital tools and search engines at our disposal. An example would be to search for information in google. I could search for weather for the next week, using this information to make sure I’m dressed accordingly. The ability […]

Are my students visitors rather than residents?

Posted on October 7, 2019 by Rafi Rashid

Reading “Visitors and residents: A new typology for online engagement” by David White and Alison Le Cornu made me reflect on a recent experience. When I introduced blended learning into one of my courses last year, I thought that my students would enjoy the online learning activities because it would be very different from the […]

Posted on October 7, 2019 by Maria Niemi

Blogging is not completely new to me. In fact, I have been blogging for approximately 8 years, on and off, in two different blogs.

Focus on topic 1

Posted on October 6, 2019 by Peter Fogel

I realize that I am brought up in the tradition of knowledge where learning and expressing knowledge is somewhat different processes. Learning privately before expressing it publicity. The ONL course challenges this by encouraging expressing the not yet known publicitly. I look forward to learn to express what I don’t already know together with my […]

My plan was to end this week with a personal reflection on my digital self and whatever that might include. But look what happened!

Hello World!

Posted on October 3, 2019 by Saad Mubeen

When you are learning a computer programming language, the very first program that you write is to display the text “Hello World” on computer screen. There are different variations of this text, e.g., “Hello Moon” or “Hello Mars” depending on personal liking and taste ☺. Well, the point here is that I wanted to start […]
