Online participation and Digital Literacies: Creating a supportive environment for an engaging online teaching and learning experience

Posted on October 2, 2020 by Nadya Shaznay Patel

It was a great start to our PBL group discussion this week on online participation and digital literacies. The sharing of our individual experiences teaching online spurred an interest in me to reflect on how a supportive environment can be created to engage students in an online teaching and learning experience. May tutors lament thatContinue reading “Online participation and Digital Literacies: Creating a supportive environment for an engaging online teaching and learning experience”

Visiting, residing and homesickness

Posted on October 1, 2020 by Suzanne Bancel

The main reason for me being here is to find out if a Virtual Exchange can give the same personal growth that a physical student/teacher exchange can give.

Posted on September 29, 2020 by Gyöngyi Kovács

Some countries are now in their second wave of panic buying due to the COVID-19 outbreak. First it was toilet paper (check here how much you own vs would need), then anything from garlic to baking powder to hair dye (really?), now we are back to toilet paper and dry foods.

Posted on September 28, 2020 by Gyöngyi Kovács

Let me start by saying that I am far from anything that the term “digital native” would encapsulate.

I’ve been reading an article by Maggi Savin-Gaden that discusses different «constellations» in problem-based learning.
