Posted on April 21, 2022 by Alexander Vestin

The second week of the ONL course was quite interesting, both the scenario and all the discussions within the PBL group and other PBL groups. My PBL group talked a lot about open education as a tool for sharing documents between teachers but also to te…

First of all, I would like to state, for the record, that I am a key believer of sharing educational materials for the benefit of students. However, I feel that there are still challenges that need to be addressed with regards to open learning. As ment…

Openness Ltd.

Among the multiple interpretations of openness, such as generosity, free access, availability, given during Maha Bali’s webinar [5], I like very much openness as “the will to share” and the fact that “the will to share” is independent if it occurs online or face-to-face. I like this definition because teaching specifically is, in my opinion, […]

My reflections on opening the education material in a course

Posted on April 19, 2022 by Eduard Enoiu

I reflected quite a lot on this topic, especially when thinking of the courses I teach. My main thoughts here relate to opening educational resources with other teachers and students. The idea is to help teachers get easy access to high-quality material. In the end the main goal is to reduce workload for teachers and […]

Reflection on Topic 1: Online participation & digital literacies

Posted on April 17, 2022 by Caihong Xu

Before the webinar by David White, I watched David’s short video on the concept of Visitors and Residents on YouTube. This seven minutes’ video briefly walked me through the notion of “digital natives” v.s. “digital immigrants” put forward by Pensky (2001), arguments for why this metaphor is flawed and David’s alternative proposal of “Visitors & […]
