New tools for e-collaboration & e-learning

Recently, discovered and tired out Padlet and Mural with my  ONL 202 PBL group 6’s  classmates and friends. Feel, it is quite easy to do it with a group of people who are around the world. I will like to share these two new useful tools to my friends if you are interested to have […]

The digital dilemma – visitor vs. resident

Engagement theory emphasizes that to keep students engaged, a well-designed course needs to be created. Having aContinue reading “Teaching in a digital setting, a case of teacher’s wellbeing”

My online presence map

Here is my map of my online presence as described by White (2014a):I didn’t get so much directly out of this exercise. I use quite a lot of online applications and I’m not so much a producer of content or comments, which I already knew. I found it a bi…

Padlet

I have done some testing of Padlet, which we tested in the ONL-course and also in my university’s pedagogical course.The map-tool seems nice for introductions. I could use that in my educational program when I first meet the students so that we ca…
