Reflection week

Posted on November 3, 2020 by Vigdis Ahnfelt

The week for reflections has already passed, filled with examinations and teaching. Then some time for reflections on the two first topics and reading my peers’ blogs – which I found interesting – but unfortunately no time for further reading of articles. Regarding topic 1 I think this is an ongoing process of didactic and […]

Topic 2: Challenges in MOOCs

Posted on November 3, 2020 by Hui Zhao

Taking advantage of open education, MOOCs is often mentioned as a good example of opening, flexibility, and sharing. In the lectures, the teachers talked about privacy, misuse of content, and so on. Here are some of my thoughts about the challenges in open education, for instance, MOOCs. How much freedom does individual have? The firstContinue reading “Topic 2: Challenges in MOOCs”

Open education as a Disruption

Posted on November 3, 2020 by Maya Hoveskog

Open education, as a second topic in the course, took me by surprise. Even if the concept was not really new to me and I have very limited experience with actually undertaking any type of open education. Our group soon realized that it was a far more complex topic than what we initially thought. ThereContinue reading “Open education as a Disruption”

Breakfast Knowledge and Openness

Posted on November 2, 2020 by Malin Lindahl

I’m interested in opening up some of my courses and sharing the resources in a responsible way, but I don’t really know where to start. What options are there for offering courses that are open? How do I get support from my colleagues and how do I introduce the idea to my students? What areContinue reading “Breakfast Knowledge and Openness”

Opennes – What’s in it for me? (ONL202 Topic 2)

Posted on November 2, 2020 by Mohit Gupta

The second topic in the ONL202 course was about the sharing and openness in ‘Open Learning’. The discussions were about how to share an online course or course material, why it is of interest, what value could it add, and the possible consequences of sharing online course material. The discussions around this topic became veryContinue reading “Opennes – What’s in it for me? (ONL202 Topic 2)”

Topic 3: Learning in communities – networked collaborative learning

Posted on November 2, 2020 by Maria Christidis

I have engaged in collaborative learning where there has been a shared goal for work. Collaborative learning is an autonomous experience of learning that is driven by the individual but in a social context. Collaborative learning strengthens the individual, as the individual contribution in the group is equally valued. Thus, collaborative learning has given meFortsätt läsa “Topic 3: Learning in communities – networked collaborative learning”

Topic 3 – networked collaborative learning

Posted on November 2, 2020 by Joanna Coleman

This third ONL202 topic alienated me a bit at first. As I watched Kay Oddone’s YouTube videos (1 and 2) on the theory and practice of personal learning networks (PLNs) and read the studies by Capdeferro & Romero and Brindley et al, I felt kind of ‘meh’. Quite a contrast from how content for the […]

The Bright and Dark Side of Open Knowledge

Posted on November 1, 2020 by Harun Emre Yildiz

Back in 2012, I watched an inspiring talk by Clay Shirky on open-source movement. His ideas about how opportunity to access knowledge could be a strong impetus for additional knowledge generation – with greater momentum and efficiency. As a scholar whose research interests touch upon knowledge management and innovation, I found open-source as a greatContinue reading “The Bright and Dark Side of Open Knowledge”

Openness and higher education – less is more?

Posted on November 1, 2020 by MLÖ

The title of this post is cryptic on purpose. Topic 2 of ONL202 has prompted questions about the need for more open education, the (quantifiable) availability of education and of knowledge, the reasons for and against increased openness in higher education, to name but a few. But openness is not uncontroversial. The focus of thisFortsätt läsa “Openness and higher education – less is more?”

Am I ready to open up?

Posted on November 1, 2020 by Joanna Szczepanik

Before we started working on Topic 2: Open Learning – Sharing and Openness, I thought that for me the problem of openness and sharing of resources is associated almost exclusively with technical issues and with copywrite and creative commons knowledge. After two weeks of working on this topic, however, I came to the conclusion thatCzytaj dalej “Am I ready to open up?”

How open is Open Education ?

Posted on November 1, 2020 by Nadia Cheikhrouhou

“He who receives ideas from me, receives instruction himself without lessening mine, as he who lights his taper at mine receives light without darkening me” Thomas Jefferson David Wiley , who is considered by Martin Weller as one of the three pioneers of modern Open Education along with Stephen Downes and Georges Siemens (Weller,2014) usedContinue reading “How open is Open Education ?”
