Professional online participation and identities

Posted on March 22, 2019 by Sebastian Schwede

Topic 1 that we worked on for the last two weeks was “online participation and digital literacies”. At this point it is worth to mention that the work flow with the different topics in this Online Network Learning (ONL) course follows the so-called FISh model using an actual scenario as background (Nerantzi & Uhlin 2012). … Continue reading Professional online participation and identities

Online Residents in an Institutional Capacity

Posted on March 21, 2019 by Hafizah Osman

We don’t need a lesson in history to appreciate the fact that the web as we know it today was the result of the collective effort of visionaries, who as early as the 1900s, foresaw a future where the exchange of ideas will become instantaneous. That world is now, thanks to the work of these visionary engineers, scientists and thought leaders; long before Google became …

Reflections on digital literacy and online learning

Posted on March 20, 2019 by Leah Okenwa Emegwa

I love the the opportunities created by the digital age but am also wary of the dangers posed. Being annonymous and keeping my private life private is an important foundation upon which my online presence has so far been built. Activities such as information seeking seem harmless whereas sharing information about my self and daily … Continue reading Reflections on digital literacy and online learning

I am an African female who accessed a computer for the first time at a cyber cafe in Kenya at 18 years of age immediately after high school.

All things online…

Posted on March 13, 2019 by Shushentha Naidoo

Times have largely changed. I remember the very first time I used a computer and the internet, exciting and scary, exploring a “new” world. Going into the unknown almost. Oh but how experiences change. Now the use of technology and the world wide web has become a large and normal part of life, and at … Continue reading All things online… →

Preserving my privacy in this digital world: is that even possible?

Posted on March 8, 2019 by Hafizah Osman

Last Tuesday, I attended my first virtual meeting for the Open Networked Learning programme that I’m enrolled in, with three other course mates and our facilitators. We spent a fair bit of time discussing privacy issues and just today I read a comment from another course mate of her own brush with unwanted attention stemming from her digital presence. That got me thinking a little …

Open Networked Learning: Reflection #1

Posted on March 4, 2019 by Hafizah Osman

So a week has gone by and I find myself struggling to get into the grove of virtual meetings and collaborating on Google Drive. Not because I am unfamiliar with the technology, but just because of time difference. Being close to the equator means my days start earlier than most of my other group mates, so by the time they’re ready to start, I am …
