Questions of design: community of inquiry

Posted on May 13, 2022May 13, 2022 by Leysan Storie

So many things to focus on when it comes to designing an online course! I have seen an approach in the beginning of the pandemic, of putting an offline course online, without any consideration of the nature of the internet, and remote learning. I…

Week 3: collaboration in teams

Posted on May 5, 2022May 5, 2022 by Leysan Storie

What a great topic this was to explore – networked collaborative learning. Collaboration often happens in groups. We know (and maybe some of us also feel that way) that group work is often avoided. There are many reasons for it – and many of them …

How to make online group work functional and engaging

Posted on May 4, 2022 by Jonna Vocke

Topic 3 I have joined quite many group works online, of which a fair amount has been rather bad. One reason for this I think is the fact that teachers have received none or very little education in how to execute group work online. Due to the pandemic teachers all over the world have been […]

Wrapping up Topic 3, and successfully so?

Posted on May 1, 2022 by Michael Försth

This week we finalized Topic 3: Learning in communities – networked collaborative learning. I ended my last blog by hoping for inspiration for how to revise courses with methods, tips and tricks that facilitate collaborative learning. This happened. The expression first impression lasts is well known, but not very true! Listening to many, or at […]

Topic 3: Learning in communities – networked collaborative learning

Posted on April 24, 2022 by Michael Försth

This topic is, to me, the absolutely most interesting so far in this great course. One week into the topic I realize that we, the teachers, or at least me, take a lot for granted when we initiate collaboration assignments for our students, that is group works. This might be a mistake and I’m very […]

Open learning: Reflections on topic 2

Posted on April 21, 2022May 13, 2022 by Leysan Storie

The second topic in the course focused on sharing and openness. The idea of sharing materials and ideas can be scary. I tend to worry about where the recordings of my lectures may end up for example. I guess things that we know little about are es…

Is all higher education going to be in English in the future? (Topic 2)

Posted on April 13, 2022 by Jonna Vocke

If you as an educator wish to use open education resources (OERs) for your own needs, you can find plenty of useful OERs online. The jungle of information is huge, but when getting used to searching you can find open materials in almost every field of education. For tips on how to find and use […]

To become digitally literate is more difficult for people who didn’t grow up with digital gadgets

Posted on April 13, 2022 by Jonna Vocke

For me there is a long way to go to become digitally literate. It’s probably not even possible when listening to David White’s Youtube clip “Visitors and Residents” where he is citing Mark Prensky’s theory saying “If you are young enough to have grown up with digital technology – you are native to it”. I […]

First reflection on the ONL course

Posted on April 6, 2022April 6, 2022 by Leysan Storie

The first topic in the course focused on online participation and digital literacies, and with this first post I will reflect on my own relationship with digital media and online engagement. Digital media relates to both my research and my teachin…

Nuances of Open Educational Practices

As I embark on the learning journey on open learning, here ‘s some of my take-aways from the topic 2 webinar on sharing and openness where the guest speaker Bali Maha shared with us her experiences and thought-provoking insights. 1. Cupcake …

My ONL Blog 2022-03-31 10:21:00

Posted on March 31, 2022March 31, 2022 by Boon Kee Lee

This is my first participation in an open networked learning adventure with ONL221. I joined this course at a time when I was in the middle of a busy schedule. It’s been quite a hectic period over the past month due to a project I had embarked on…

Starting my first week on ONL221

Posted on March 7, 2022May 19, 2022 by Bernadine Mons

I am from South Africa and in this tumultuous time in history, it is a great opportunity to be able to contribute to a course that focus on being connected in a networked environment with fellow learners to share and learn. ONL221 means a great deal to me as it is important to be connected […]
