Posted on May 4, 2019 by James Brunton

Topic 4 for the ONL191 course focuses on how to support and design for learning, with a particular emphasis on accounting for emotional presence (in the context of the Community of Inquiry framework) in learning design. My problem based learning group decided to focus on an Empathy Map learning design exercise that would be used early … Continue reading The Empathy Map as an Early Learning Design Activity →

Promoting Collaborative Learning

Posted on April 29, 2019 by Miriam Bak McKenna

As this course progresses I am becoming more aware of the power of online learning to radically transform educational experiences. I believe for the most part this will be for the better. But I am also believe that technology alone will not transform learning – strong pedagogy combined with the use of technology … Continue reading Promoting Collaborative Learning

Topic 4 – Exploring an Empathy Map Design Tool

Posted on April 29, 2019 by James Brunton1 Comment

Given that Topic 4 for ONL191 focuses on how to support and design for learning, with a particular emphasis on accounting for emotional presence (in the context of the Community of Inquiry framework) in learning design, PBL group 1 decided to focus on an Empathy Map learning design exercise that would be used early in […]

The Value of Learning Communities

Posted on April 19, 2019 by James Brunton

Rather than try to answer the question myself of why there is value in being a member of a learning community, or even better several learning communities, I decided to ask some of the other participants at the marvellous OER19 conference that took place in beautiful Galway city, Ireland on the 10th and 11th of … Continue reading The Value of Learning Communities →

Posted on April 15, 2019 by Miriam Bak McKenna

It was perhaps extremely fitting that Topic 2 coincided with the busiest time of the year for me: exam period (during which time both of my kids helpfully decided to contract chicken pox). It was a situation that allowed to reflect on some of the key benefits and detriments of open learning. If we … Continue reading Sharing and Openness in an Age of Uncertainty

When you get new information or facts that requires an update of your way of thinking, it causes frustration. Capdeferro & Romano are investigating frustration in online … Continue reading Embrace the frustration! →

Sharing is caring!

Sharing is not scary; I guess everyone I work or collaborate together with, are way passed the point where you feel that sharing or openness is something you even need to question. However, my subject area is language writing and communication – obviously we don´t have secrets or do research on sensitive materials that can´t … Continue reading Sharing is caring! →

Digital Literacy: Or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Digital Age

Posted on March 27, 2019 by Miriam Bak McKenna

This is a long overdue post in more ways than one. We are nearing the end of Topic 2 and I need to start reflecting on what we have learnt, but I haven’t really managed to collect my thoughts on Topic 1. So far I have found the concept of open networked learning slightly … Continue reading Digital Literacy: Or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Digital Age
