Topic 1: Online Participation & Digital Literacies

Posted on December 3, 2019 by Lorraine Rajagopaul

Marc Prensky invented and popularized the terms digital natives and digital immigrants to describe respectively an individual born into the digital age and one adopting the appropriate skills later in life (Prensky, 2001). A digital immigrant refers to an individual who adopts technology later in life. So, I guess fall under the category of a digitalContinue reading “Topic 1: Online Participation & Digital Literacies”

Topic 3: Topic 3: Learning in Communities – Networked Collaborative Learning

Posted on December 2, 2019 by Lorraine Rajagopaul

As I reflect on Topic 3, I start of by asking what is a learning community? – Learning communities provide a platform/space where people can link up to discuss and brainstrom a shared goal. Learning communities connect people and enable participants to share results and learn from each other, thereby improving their ability to achieveContinue reading “Topic 3: Topic 3: Learning in Communities – Networked Collaborative Learning”

Topic 4: Design for online and blended learning

Posted on December 2, 2019 by Pinar Dinc

This week I have started to think about the ways in which I can design a blended course. In order to do so, I had to consider various issues: 1- What is a blended course? I realised that I was somewhat confused about online teaching and blended courses. Blended courses, also called hybrid or mixed-mode […]

Topic 4: Design for online and blended learning

Posted on November 30, 2019 by Anna-Karin Welmer

This week’s topic was in my opinion the most interesting topic so far of the ONL course. In the PBL groups, we explored resources on online and blended learning. By definition, blended learning is a teaching method that integrates online media and technologies (e.g. films, online discussions, quizzes) with traditional teacher-led classroom activities. Importantly, theFortsätt läsa “Topic 4: Design for online and blended learning”

ONL – what to focus on

Posted on November 17, 2019 by Peter Friis Johansson

After struggling a bit with making attractive presentations of our group work in topic 1 and 2, Yadhna has done a terrific work on this topic and it all looks quite professional. She chose Padlet as our tool for sharing and the result does seem to turn out very smooth looking. This is of courseFortsätt läsa “ONL – what to focus on”

Open or closed?

Posted on November 17, 2019 by Peter Friis Johansson

The second topic of ONL 192 was about openness in teaching and learning. Although the focus of the course is online learning, this particular topic is very relevant to many kinds of teaching. From my experience in working with classical music (primarily instrumentalists and chamber music), open (masterclassses) and closed (private lessons) teaching play outFortsätt läsa “Open or closed?”

Topic 3 – learning in communities

Posted on November 12, 2019 by Anna-Karin Welmer

I have recently started to get more familiar with some collaborative tools such as Zoom and Slack. I find them very useful for working purposes, and I will explore them further to learn how to use them more efficiently. This course has also open my eyes for Twitter as a learning tool, since tweet-chats areFortsätt läsa “Topic 3 – learning in communities”

Topic 3: Learning in communities – networked collaborative learning

Posted on November 12, 2019 by Pinar Dinc

Never have I known that VUCA was an acronym used by the US Military until listening to the webinar from our online platform yesterday (11 November 2019). VolatileUncertainComplexAmbigious is what VUCA stands for and the term was coined after the Cold War in the 1990s! Although the contents of VUCA may sound difficult and a […]

Topic 2 – Openness and sharing in higher education

Posted on October 28, 2019 by Anna-Karin Welmer

What does openness mean to me? Concerning research, openness is important to reach as many readers as possible. It may however sometimes be challenging considering costs for open access and ethical issues related to data sharing. Concerning teaching, I have so far not shared my lectures online with open access. However, this course has given […]

My first time

Posted on October 20, 2019 by Peter Friis Johansson

So, I’m in the ONL192 online course and this is my first experience with online learning. Or is it really? Now when thinking about it I realize that I everyday use the internet to learn loads of different things. Both practical stuff where the searchability and video format are incredibly powerful tools, detailed information that […]

Topic 2: Open Learning-Sharing and Openness

Posted on October 20, 2019 by Pinar Dinc

In topic two, I had a chance to learn about sharing and openness, and think about the pros and cons of openness in teaching and learning. In a sense, like the visitor and residence continuum in the digital world, there is a continuum of sharing and openness. I might be very open at times, as […]
