Reflecting on the reflections

Posted on December 13, 2021 by Sara Davoudi

The type of reflections that was required for the ONL course have been quite different from my disorganized and ad-hoc reflections that I normally make. In ordinary cases, I constantly reflect on my teaching and development of courses. When I talk to colleagues, when I watch documentaries, scroll on social media or before, during and […]

Goodbye or not?

Posted on December 13, 2021 by Erica Adlercreutz

This is the first time I attend a course like ONL. I was quite confused at the start, not knowing what was expected from me, how we should work and what the learning goals would be (actually I am still not sure about the learning goals, but probably the goals have to do more withContinue reading “Goodbye or not?”

ALL GOOD THINGS MUST COME TO AN END

Posted on December 13, 2021 by Malvina Latifaj

The title of this blog post was the first thing that came to mind while reflecting on this whole journey. It has been an amazing experience, totally different from everything that I have experienced before, and thus totally rewarding. I have definitely grown as an individual in terms of personal learning, and a lot of […]

GOING FROM TRADITIONAL CLASSROOM LEARNING TO ONLINE AND BLENDED LEARNING – WHY THIS SHIFT?

Posted on December 13, 2021 by Malvina Latifaj

Everyday more we hear about blended learning. We read about it in blog posts, we take classes that apply blended learning, we have long discussions on how to actually apply that in our courses. But now I want to pause for a minute and think; why this shift? Why are we trying to go from […]

Topic 5: Into the Future

Posted on December 13, 2021 by Meghan Anderson

Whenever I come to the end of something, I like to reflect on how I will take the experience into the next beginning. The ONL212 content has allowed me to challenge my thinking on face-to-face and online learning and as we move into a new future in learning it is important to consider a fewContinue reading “Topic 5: Into the Future”

Topic 4

Posted on December 8, 2021 by Martin Lundgren

I think the idea of blended learning comes with a few benefits that I myself have not reflected much upon before reading up on the concept. Hybrid learning, i.e., to have a mix between at campus and online students (Kenney and Newcombe, 2011), is something I am very used to, both as a teacher and […]

Topic 4: Design for online and blended learning

Posted on December 6, 2021 by Meghan Anderson

Over the past year, many designers, teachers, lecturers and facilitators needed to embrace online learning for the first time. This caused a high level of anxiety for some while others seemed to have adapted easily. While working through this course and exploring the Community of Inquiry, I feel that this adaptation was easier for thoseContinue reading “Topic 4: Design for online and blended learning”

Lifelong learning

Posted on December 1, 2021 by Erica Adlercreutz

Usually I do not miss an opportunity to learn new things. Curiosity and learning have always been a central part of my life. There has been a great deal of learning opportunities in my life, not only related to my studies or work. I have many hobbies, and I always get inspired to learn newContinue reading “Lifelong learning”

Topic 3

Posted on November 30, 2021 by Martin Lundgren

The scenario posed in this posed an interesting question, how can people recognize the value of becoming part of a learning community and the benefit of social learning? So, this poses two questions, what is a learning community, and what is social learning? While both these concepts have many, slightly varying, definitions, I came across […]

Gamification in collaborative learning

Posted on November 26, 2021 by Malvina Latifaj

Computer vector created by macrovector_official – www.freepik.com After successful discussions regarding collaborative learning, my mind was stuck in one thing. How to actually motivate students to apply collaborative learning. Multiple studies have been conducted regarding this topic, but one approach that has been recently proposed and seems to have a great potential is gamification. But […]

Just mix it

Posted on November 24, 2021 by Sara Davoudi

Even though the term blended learning is frequently used, there is ambiguity about what it actually means (Oliver and Trigwell 2005). Researchers have discussed the problems with such ambiguity of definitions Oliver and Trigwell 2005) while others have raised such ambiguity and the fact that it means different things to different people, as the untapped […]

why is student collaboration a thing?

Posted on November 24, 2021 by Sara Davoudi

Among my colleagues, I feel that there still is this discussion on what type of learning activities create the best opportunities for reaching the intended learning outcome. My personal reflection is that there are those that argue for a teacher focus where the teacher is the strongest voice in the classroom. In such cases, the […]
