Learning From Anywhere

Posted on November 30, 2020 by Dennis Ng

Learning extends beyond the boundaries of a typical classroom as we have witnessed currently in the fight against the COVID pandemic worldwide. The traditional mode of learning is also inadequate in meeting the increasing demands of acquiring knowledge and skills in a rapid changing economy. With this context, let us explore how educators can ride …

Learning in communities – one step back, two steps forward

Posted on November 22, 2020 by Joanna Szczepanik

In the beginning there was the word. I realized that I had never asked myself before, what is the difference between collaboration and cooperation in English, and whether at all. I already know that the two meanings differ in a very practical sense, especially in the context of collaborative learning. In the PBL group weCzytaj dalej “Learning in communities – one step back, two steps forward”

Learning in communities – making it a fun-tastic experience

Posted on November 18, 2020 by Michael Hummel

When delving into this Topic 3 it became quickly apparent that there are many terms that are often used interchangeably. Yet a closer look at the definitions revealed decisive differences such as between “network” and “community” as explained by Kay Oddone in her YouTube video PLNs Theory and Practice. It is also advisable to makeContinue reading “Learning in communities – making it a fun-tastic experience”

Learning in Communities

Posted on November 18, 2020 by Sonita Jeyapathy

Initially, I was hard pressed to think of a personal (non ONL) occasion of collaborative learning that moved my own thinking forward. Perhaps because I was hung up on the “learning” aspect and was therefore considering only occasions where I am wearing a “student” hat, which is inevitably more restrictive. If I take a more […]

Topic 3 – Learning in communities – networked collaborative learning

Posted on November 17, 2020 by Lena Hylving

The possibilities to use different technological solutions for online collaboration are endless. New tools pop up every week. I am currently involved in different communities where they use Teams, Dropbox, GoogleDrive, Box, common hard drive, BlackBoard and more. It is confusing and time-consuming to know where information is placed depending on which project I amContinue reading “Topic 3 – Learning in communities – networked collaborative learning”

Teaching and Learning through Collaboration

Posted on November 14, 2020 by Dennis Ng

Collaborative learning is a widely adopted instructional method for learners across all ages, be it in Schools, Institutes of Higher Learning and even in the workplace. Moving away from the traditional passive learning environments in which the teacher conveys knowledge and the student responds (Chen, 2009), collaborative learning facilitate learners to interact, explore and collaborate …

Let’s work together!

Posted on November 13, 2020 by Nicolette Karst

In this blog post I reflect on collaborative learning. Thinking about teaching and learning activities in general, I like to depart from simple questions. What is it? Why do we do it? How do we do it? So even in this reflection, I take these questions as a starting point. And yes, I stole theFortsätt läsa “Let’s work together!”

Collaborative Learning – A Personal Experience

Posted on November 11, 2020 by Brian Davies

Collaborative learning is seen as beneficial for students as it an example of active learning, where students actively present, share and test knowledge and ideas with a group of peers. It also has the added advantages of social connectedness and it reflecting workplace demands (Haythornthwaite, 2019). If students would like to more about the benefitsFortsätt läsa “Collaborative Learning – A Personal Experience”

Open, Sesame!

Posted on November 3, 2020 by Nicolette Karst

The topic for this reflective text is Opennes in Education. I have thoroughly pondered upon it over the last two weeks. I started by examining the content of the word ‘open’ looking at how it is used in various idiomatic expressions. I found that many had a positive ring to them and nice images poppedFortsätt läsa “Open, Sesame!”

Open Education & Open Pedagogy – where to start?

Posted on November 3, 2020 by Brian Davies

Of course being ‘open’ entails the idea of sharing and where would we be without sharing? Something I read or heard recently (sorry, can’t remember where) talked about how Wikipedia can only exist because individuals are prepared to share. No private (or even public) enterprise could ever create such an all encompassing ocean of content.Fortsätt läsa “Open Education & Open Pedagogy – where to start?”

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?”
