A WHOLE NEW DIGITAL WORLD -TOPIC 1 DIGITAL LITERACY

Posted on May 10, 2021 by Adele Pillay

Prior to Covid-19, who would have thought that there was a whole different world of teaching available in the technology space. Educators were set in their ways accustomed to face to face contact classes, being able to make eye contact with students, interpret body language and use simple practices without needing much from the student.Continue reading “A WHOLE NEW DIGITAL WORLD -TOPIC 1 DIGITAL LITERACY”

The past 2 weeks of our activities had been very important for me as the part of ONL211 journey, as we’ve focused on rethinking how to design online, traditional and blended […]

Topic 4 – The mixology of blended learning

Posted on May 10, 2021May 11, 2021 by Gunnar KarlssonLeave a Comment

All learning is blended, except when done entirely on one’s own. Learning blends classroom and homework, study groups with independent work. We alternate between the different learning contexts because they are beneficial and each one contributes something to the learning process for each student. The new component, if something more than 30 years old may […]

Posted on May 10, 2021 by Cristian Ducoing

I have been teaching online since summer 2020 (North hemisphere) and the last two weeks have been extremely hard regarding time planning.

Learning happens, because the right people are together working on the right stuff.

In my blog on topic 1 I cited Herbert Simon who stated that learning is basically what learners think and do, there is nothing else. And according to Ambrose et al. (2010), learning is a process that encompasses change and has to be done by oneself. If I take these two statements and reflect this“Learning happens, because the right people are together working on the right stuff.” weiterlesen

Topic 3: Learning in communities

Posted on May 10, 2021 by Nils Troselius

The topic for this theme has been about learning in communities, networking and collaboration. It has been rewarding to reflect on the often complex and subtle processes underlying these issues. I think that we often in general take the networks we are engaged in for granted and probably are not aware of how the affect … Continue reading Topic 3: Learning in communities

Blended learning environments are undoubtedly a great boon for education in the modern world. They open out new ways in which learners can engage not just with content, but also with technology, peers and educators.

Topic 3 – Learning in Communities

Posted on May 10, 2021 by Laura Cox

This was my turn to co-lead and I found collaboration/learning in communities to be a really interesting topic, both in the content and how collaboration actually played out. In the ONL context there were at least two aspects of collaboration for me: working together with my co-leader and working together in the group. I alsoContinue reading “Topic 3 – Learning in Communities”

The Future is Blended

Posted on May 9, 2021 by KHO Su Yian

While I like blended learning because the learning environment and tools can be expanded to accommodate different types of learners with different schedules, paces of learning and communication preferences, I personally do not enjoy hybrid classes. Having students simultaneously in the classroom and online in my experience is a sub-optimal situation, as the teacher isContinue reading “The Future is Blended”

Looking at the climax our journey has taken since Topic 1, it is clear that Topic 4 with the educator perspective brings us back into the role of learning designer and enabler that we all are. I like the metaphor of a DJ using the devices to create and design a good experience for the“Let’s design and facilitate good learning experiences!” weiterlesen

Collaborative Learning: Educational Excellence

Posted on May 9, 2021 by Tayo Fadahunsi

Collaborative Learning (CL) entails working in groups of two or more, mutually searching for understanding, solutions, or meanings. CL represents a significant shift away from the typical teacher-centered or lecture-centered milieu in college classrooms. Laal & Laal (2012) posit that a good way to understand what CL means is to refer to the definitions presentedContinue reading “Collaborative Learning: Educational Excellence”
