Topic 1 – Online participation and digital literacies

Posted on April 7, 2020 by Jess

Image by Arek Socha from Pixabay My teaching career began in a time when computers were first starting to be implemented in schools. There were computer labs where you could book in and students would work on very simple tasks that integrated technology. In late 2008, Australia’s then Prime Minister Kevin Rudd launched the Digital … Continue reading Topic 1 – Online participation and digital literacies

Reflections on Open Learning – Sharing and Openness

Posted on April 6, 2020 by Matti Karlsson

Dear blog and readers, Openness in my teaching practice has not been an issue so far. Courses at our university of applied sciences (TAMK) have been targeted mainly to the degree students, who have access to e.g. our Moodle LMS, where majority of the courses reside. However, the students have been free to use the … Continue reading Reflections on Open Learning – Sharing and Openness

Reflections on sharing and openness

Posted on April 3, 2020 by Lars Lindhagen

My first reaction when I saw the theme of Topic 2 was that this would be an easy one. Of course, we should be open and share, how hard can it be? But, as usual, things eventually grew a little less straightforward. There are (at least) three aspects of openness in education: Sharing knowledge withContinue reading “Reflections on sharing and openness”

Epistemologies of Openness

Posted on March 27, 2020 by Daniel de Augustinis

So I am taking part in this course called ONL, which is on digital literac[ies]. Right now we are discussing sharing and openness and a question which keeps coming back to me – and which has not emerged in the synchronous group meetings – is that of epistemology and ontology, or epistemontology. In short, epistemologyContinue reading “Epistemologies of Openness”

Zoom Lecture Reflection

Posted on March 25, 2020 by mihi park

Due to this world-affecting COVIC-19 situation, I converted my lectures online, as many of our colleagues do. Since language learning is believed to be best in face-to-face mode, I tried to accommodate our online learning experience to maximise its particular benefits (e.g. using multimedia and easier sharing). Here I wrote my reflection to share with…Read more Zoom Lecture Reflection

Thoughts about online presence

Posted on March 20, 2020 by Lars Lindhagen

The first ONL topic is over, and time has come to summarise and reflect. It has been two very rewarding weeks. It is hard to avoid thinking about the rapid development in the digital world, since it affects us all, whether we like it or not. But I have never done it in so manyContinue reading “Thoughts about online presence”

Developing Digital Literacies in the Corona Era

Posted on March 19, 2020 by Nesrin Khankan

Amazing how things went in the elapsed two weeks. What we have witnessed recently is an amazing forcible engagement of the most resistant educators in the e-learning process. On the other hand, students had to complete the cycle too. When persons in charge clearly identify the complexity of learning materials and experience of both teachersContinue reading “Developing Digital Literacies in the Corona Era”

Language and violence

Posted on March 19, 2020 by Daniel de Augustinis

Disclaimer: this should not be read by anyone. So I am taking this online course on Digital Literacies and Online Participation and today I attended a tweetchat following the hashtag #ONL201. This is my first blog post and I had been putting it off for a number of reasons, which are listed below: 1) bloggingContinue reading “Language and violence”

Connecting week

Posted on March 8, 2020 by Lars Lindhagen

So, the ONL201 course has started, the Connecting week is over, and it’s time to write my first blog post (of my life, actually). So far, everything has worked out fine. It is always nice to meet new people. Well, of course we haven’t actually ”met”, only talked to each other over the internet. WhichContinue reading “Connecting week”

Week 2 – Connecting

Posted on March 6, 2020 by Jess

Image by David Schwarzenberg from Pixabay Week 2 of ONL201 saw us forming our groups, and using different technologies to work together collaboratively. Using Zoom for our group meetings was an interesting experience for me, as it allowed me to utilise the different functionalities of that application – with the current issues around the worldContinue reading “Week 2 – Connecting”
