Key take away – ethics before technology Posted on December 20, 2020December 20, 2020 by Saija Katila I think the most important issues that I learned concerned the ethics of open online learning. All these discussion took place in our lively ONL group 12. The ethical questions we discussed were multiple: how to protect student and faculty from cyberbu…
Topic 5 reflection at the end of ONL Posted on December 19, 2020 by Malin Lindahl The structure of the ONL-course itself will continue to influence my practice. The great benefit of PBL and group learning was an eye opener. Although I have worked a lot with group-based processes before in my teaching, it became clear to me all the benefits that anyone can achieve from collaborative learning. No matter whatContinue reading “Topic 5 reflection at the end of ONL”
Blended learning dynamics Posted on December 18, 2020 by Malin Lindahl My question to Marty Cleveland-Innes on the padlet wasn’t answered. Therefore, I take the opportunity to use the question as a starting point for this reflection for topic 4. The question rose in my mind during reading the course literature for this topic. After experiencing about 10 months of digital distance teaching, synchronous didactic interactionContinue reading “Blended learning dynamics”
Reflection on Topic 3 Posted on December 18, 2020 by Malin Lindahl Coming from a social constructionist perspective on learning, collaborative work for students is given. Or at least group learning processes of different kinds. What does collaborative learning mean in the online context, that is not also true for collaborative learning processes in the face to face environment? Brindley et.al (2009) stresses the importance for teachersContinue reading “Reflection on Topic 3”

Reflections on Open Networked Learning Posted on December 17, 2020 by Rebecca Laycock Pedersen When I registered for the course Open Networked Learning, I did it on a whim. I knew that I wanted to develop my pedagogical skills in de…
Teacher agency in building social presence: Time-suck or time-hack? Posted on December 17, 2020 by Rebecca Laycock Pedersen In my department, many of the researchers engage in design research. As a result, when we are designing something new, we often start wit…
Topic 5: Lessons learnt – future practice Posted on December 17, 2020 by Zachary Taylor For me, the most surprising, most heartening, and most frightening realization I’ve had through my participation in ONL, is online collaboration and learning is not that bad. This is probably a realization that many people have come to during the Corona Virus pandemic. I was getting there and then ONL really put the final nailContinue reading “Topic 5: Lessons learnt – future practice”
Topic 4: Design for online and blended learning Posted on December 17, 2020 by Zachary Taylor I teach and electromagnetic theory course during the fall every year. The course is best described as “intermediate” and is compulsory for my department’s masters degree program. The class consists of applications of mathematics to specific problems in electrical engineering. The best teaching of this subject I have experienced is where an engaging personality writesContinue reading “Topic 4: Design for online and blended learning”
Topic 3: Learning in communities – networked collaborative learning Posted on December 17, 2020 by Zachary Taylor Some reflection for topic 3. I find all three suggestions interesting and relevant to my own experience so I will respond to all three: An occasion when real collaborative learning took place, that moved your own thinking forward One occasion that really struck me happened during my postdoc in the context of a research manuscript.Continue reading “Topic 3: Learning in communities – networked collaborative learning”
