Topic 2: Open Learning – Sharing and Openness

Posted on May 20, 2020 by studysite1

This topic had really provided me the chance to deeply reflect on what it means to go ‘open’ with teaching in my institution. To really understand the extent of openness that I am free to do, I realized that I must first chart out the boundaries that limits this openness. The starting point to chartContinue reading “Topic 2: Open Learning – Sharing and Openness”

Topic 1 – Online Participation and Digital Literacies

Posted on May 20, 2020 by studysite1

And so it begins. We got the ball rolling and started discussing about serious issues that learners might face when beginning with online learning. These issues centred on learners’ ability to use different technologies and their access to such technologies. From a teacher’s perspective, being able to use technologies effectively to promote student learning meansContinue reading “Topic 1 – Online Participation and Digital Literacies”

ONL201 was overall an interesting journey as we did hands-on experiments on how to design an online course, discussed the challenges … Continue reading Topic 5 – end of ONL201 journey… →

Collaborative Learning in Online Contexts

Posted on May 20, 2020 by Carys Egan-Wyer

A reflection Within a few short weeks, the Corona pandemic forcibly achieved changes that proponents of online and blended learning have been encouraging for years. Teachers who long resisted the move to online discovered that they do, in fact, have the digital literacy skills to make the transition—and in record time. I do not wishContinue reading “Collaborative Learning in Online Contexts”

Topic 4: Emotional Presence

Posted on May 20, 2020 by piasun

Over the last two weeks of ONL201, the topic has been “Design for online and blended learning”, and I have learned about the Community of Inquiry (CoI) framework and about the important role of emotions in learning (Cleveland-Innes, 2019a, 2019b). When I first skimmed the content of our work for Topic 4, I immediately thoughtContinue reading “Topic 4: Emotional Presence”

Lessons learned

Now, my ONL journey is over. Although it wasn´t always easy to find the time for the meetings, the readings, the research, the tasks and especially the blog I´ll surely miss the regular webinars and especially meeting my PBL-group. It was absolutely new for me to meet people over several weeks only online and inContinue reading “Lessons learned”

Design for online and blended learning – that´s topic 4 and the end of my ONL journey is in sight. But first we have to think about how we could convince the head of our department to keep some changes which were made because of the corona-time. That is the scenario for topic 4. WellContinue reading “Online versus on-campus”

Individual passions and social software

Posted on May 20, 2020 by hedvig

As a researcher in the humanities you often feel alone, tradition maintains that you should write your text, on your own, in your office. The ideas your pour into the research and texts should spring from your own clever conclusions. Not only does this not work very well, it is rarely the truth. To make […]

Openness, quality and transparency

Posted on May 20, 2020 by hedvig

Knowledge is a common good and should be made accessible. As a teacher, I like getting easy access to both educational resources and research. Naturally technology is a primary driver but also legislation and attitudes among students and staff. However, for an educational online resource to be of any use for university teachers there are […]

Am I a better person?

Posted on May 20, 2020 by Viktor

Another journey in the Lost Academics’ life is over, the journey of clearing ONL201. So how was it? Since we during the course talked a lot about emotions, I might as well use emotions to describe my journey through the course. And it turned out to be an emotional roller coaster, with a happy ending. Fortsätt läsa “Am I a better person?”
