About openness

Posted on May 27, 2021 by Sanna Teerenhovi

When I signed up for this ONL211 course, I have to admit that I did not think about the word ‘open’ in the course’s name. Actually, I tried not to see it because the word ‘open’ made me uncomfortable. I realized this when we began topic 2: Open learning – sharing and openness. IfContinue reading “About openness”

Topic 5: Lessons learned – future practice

Posted on May 27, 2021 by Nadia Caldes

Here come my thoughts as part of ONL211 topic 5. The last topic is about my lessons learnt and the future practice, so the task for this blog post is to reflect on my learning and development during the course. One main question guides my reflection: What are the most important things that I have learnt throughContinue reading “Topic 5: Lessons learned – future practice”

Posted on May 26, 2021 by Helena Elvén Eriksson

Working from home has made me revalue my home environment. When my eyes need to rest from the computer screen, they have no alternative than the walls and furniture in my apartment.

What us Collaborative learning and what is Cooperative Learning? Often one can confuse the two, but believe me there are distinctive differences. What is Cooperative Learning?– A group of students work together on a structured activity, where the workload is split equally amongst the group members and each is responsible for their work. The groupContinue reading “Collaborative Learning”

Topic 4: Design for online and blended learning

Posted on May 25, 2021 by Nadia Caldes

Here come my thoughts as part of ONL211 topic 4. I must confess: Topic 4 was not my favorite topic. Firstly, I was abroad during those two weeks and could neither deal with the contents in depth nor – due to problems with the internet connection – participate in all group meetings. As I write this reflectiveContinue reading “Topic 4: Design for online and blended learning”

Posted on May 25, 2021 by Yogeeta Singh

I entered the ONL211 course with an open mind and felt a bit curious about how the learning would unfold.

In the previous post, I discussed how the pandemic taught me to teach, to mentor and do research through my computer screen. This week, I decided to do a little further, and to make a short video of one of the trick I use with my science a lot, and which could be easily taught … Continue reading Teaching through a screen (Part 2)

Teaching through a screen

Posted on May 24, 2021 by Anne Duplouy

The Covid-19 pandemic has not been easy on us all. We had to protect ourselves and out loved-ones, we have lost some of them or have been separated for way too long! I feel extremely privileged. I am living in a country that has, in general, responded quickly and well to the pandemic. My direct … Continue reading Teaching through a screen

#5 ONL Takeaways

Posted on May 23, 2021 by Joseph OOI

At the end of every lesson, I ask my students to write a short reflection of their key takeaway for the lesson. Three guiding questions are: (1) What must I remember?, (2) What must I learn?, and (3) What must I do? What must I remember? Everyone is different. I am used to designing courses… Continue reading #5 ONL Takeaways
