Lessons learnt – reflection of ONL192

Posted on December 9, 2019 by Jonas Tana

The most important things I have learned during ONL course are related to me as a learner, working in groups, and studying online courses. Of course, many new aspects of openness have also emerged, such as the quite difficult concepts of digital visitors/residents, open education and blended learning. But as said, more has been related … Continue reading Lessons learnt – reflection of ONL192 →

Lessons learnt – future practice

Posted on December 9, 2019 by David Bevington

“What we call the beginning is often the end. And to make an end is to make a beginning. The end is where we start from.”This quote is from T.S. Eliot’s Little Gidding, the last of his Four Quartets, poems I read at school and certain phrases have stuck with me. In fact, in consideringContinue reading “Lessons learnt – future practice”

Are ARGs PLNs?

Posted on December 9, 2019 by Leo Hatvani

Following the title of this blog in the discussion of edutainment (educational entertainment) versus education, we should look at an interesting phenomenon that has been around for quite a few years now. Alternate Reality Games (ARG) are akin to treasure hunts that can happen by leaving a series of connected clues in the physical or … Continue reading Are ARGs PLNs? →

Design for online and blended learning

Posted on December 9, 2019 by David Bevington

Like all the other ONL topics, this one was designed to make us think. The focus of design for online and blended learning was not on the tools and technologies that could be used to design, but on the pedagogical aspects of frameworks and models that should be considered when creating good blended and online learningContinue reading “Design for online and blended learning”

ONL, looking back

Posted on December 9, 2019 by Peter Fogel

So, Open Network Learning course is over. That is: as far as course content and schedule goes. But my own networked learning is up for a journey. In terms of scaffolding (Salmon, 2004) I think my group did very well. At the start of a new topic or new element we introduced our selves to … Continue reading ONL, looking back

Design for online and blended learning

Posted on December 9, 2019 by Nosiphiwo Sontsonga

In this topic the focus was shifted from being students/participants to being facilitators where we would try and design an online blended course that would promote student engagement, community and collaborative learning. We discussed about how important it is for the student learning process to feel part of the community, and it is the facilitatorsContinue reading “Design for online and blended learning”

3. Restructure-Reculture: Separate or Simultaneous

Posted on December 9, 2019 by Kantha Chetty

In keeping with international trends of introducing online collaboration and networked learning, South Africa too has joined the race. For this blog I draw extensively from my research on teacher collaboration conducted for the completion of my Doctoral studies. I believe that the literature is equally relevant to facilitators in higher education. The lesson learntContinue reading “3. Restructure-Reculture: Separate or Simultaneous”

The end of the road…or just the beginning?

Posted on December 9, 2019 by Susan Gamache

To me the most important part on the ONL course has been the process itself. I have been familiar with PBL on a theoretical level for a long time, but I haven’t really had any opportunities to engage in an actual PBL process myself before this course. The course was really time consuming and I […]
