The empty chair

Posted on December 20, 2020 by Annika Göran Rodell

In the meadow, along the path down to the lake, a chair is waiting, it invites us to rest our tired legs, quietly listening to the grasshopper or to a moment of silence and reflection. Today it can stand as a symbol for my experience of starting a new course. The empty chair is waiting

Topic 5 reflection at the end of ONL

Posted on December 19, 2020 by Malin Lindahl

The structure of the ONL-course itself will continue to influence my practice. The great benefit of PBL and group learning was an eye opener. Although I have worked a lot with group-based processes before in my teaching, it became clear to me all the benefits that anyone can achieve from collaborative learning. No matter whatContinue reading “Topic 5 reflection at the end of ONL”

Blended learning dynamics

Posted on December 18, 2020 by Malin Lindahl

My question to Marty Cleveland-Innes on the padlet wasn’t answered. Therefore, I take the opportunity to use the question as a starting point for this reflection for topic 4. The question rose in my mind during reading the course literature for this topic. After experiencing about 10 months of digital distance teaching, synchronous didactic interactionContinue reading “Blended learning dynamics”

Reflection on Topic 3

Posted on December 18, 2020 by Malin Lindahl

Coming from a social constructionist perspective on learning, collaborative work for students is given. Or at least group learning processes of different kinds. What does collaborative learning mean in the online context, that is not also true for collaborative learning processes in the face to face environment? Brindley et.al (2009) stresses the importance for teachersContinue reading “Reflection on Topic 3”

Reflection of ONL 202 For this blog post I want to reflect upon the last ten weeks, for which I have been a part of the Open Networked Learning course and I want to reflect my experiences with the help of guiding questions that have been provided by the ONL facilitators. In old “FISh”-traditionContinue reading “Friday, December 18th”

Digital Tools and Active Student Learning

Posted on December 18, 2020 by Brian Davies

It’s December 2020 and I have just completed the course Open Networked Learning (a course aimed at people working in education, interested in exploring possibilities and recommended practices of using digital tools in education). My take away message from the course is that digitals tools should be be used to promote active student learning. ItFortsätt läsa “Digital Tools and Active Student Learning”

When I registered for the course Open Networked Learning, I did it on a whim. I knew that I wanted to develop my pedagogical skills in de…

Teacher agency in building social presence: Time-suck or time-hack?

In my department, many of the researchers engage in design research. As a result, when we are designing something new, we often start wit…

Topic 5: Lessons learnt – future practice

Posted on December 17, 2020 by Zachary Taylor

For me, the most surprising, most heartening, and most frightening realization I’ve had through my participation in ONL, is online collaboration and learning is not that bad. This is probably a realization that many people have come to during the Corona Virus pandemic. I was getting there and then ONL really put the final nailContinue reading “Topic 5: Lessons learnt – future practice”

Topic 4: Design for online and blended learning

Posted on December 17, 2020 by Zachary Taylor

I teach and electromagnetic theory course during the fall every year. The course is best described as “intermediate” and is compulsory for my department’s masters degree program. The class consists of applications of mathematics to specific problems in electrical engineering. The best teaching of this subject I have experienced is where an engaging personality writesContinue reading “Topic 4: Design for online and blended learning”

Topic 3: Learning in communities – networked collaborative learning

Posted on December 17, 2020 by Zachary Taylor

Some reflection for topic 3. I find all three suggestions interesting and relevant to my own experience so I will respond to all three: An occasion when real collaborative learning took place, that moved your own thinking forward One occasion that really struck me happened during my postdoc in the context of a research manuscript.Continue reading “Topic 3: Learning in communities – networked collaborative learning”
