Topic 3: Learning in communities – networked collaborative learning

Posted on November 22, 2021 by Meghan Anderson

“A personal learning network (PLN) is a group of colleagues, mentors, and professionals that you connect with to enhance your learning and take charge of your own professional development” Elizabeth Trach, Schoology Exchange The quote above resonated with me as it speaks to the autonomy you have in creating your learning networks. They are personal and drivenContinue reading “Topic 3: Learning in communities – networked collaborative learning”

“Winning” teams

Posted on November 21, 2021 by Erica Adlercreutz

Now we have finished topic 3, a topic I really find interesting. It is about collaborative learning, learning in teams. During the past two weeks we have discussed how to create effective learning groups in both an online environment and in class. But it is not only about “product”, it is also about the “process”.Continue reading ““Winning” teams”

Topic 2: Open Learning – Sharing and Openness

Posted on November 8, 2021 by Meghan Anderson

The idea of open learning and sharing knowledge appeals greatly to me. Education really is something that can change your life but is out of reach for a lot of individuals. Open education resources could change that. But is “open” really open? Stephen Downes stated that an open learning environment has four key principles; autonomy,Continue reading “Topic 2: Open Learning – Sharing and Openness”

DO i need digital literacy?

Posted on November 5, 2021 by Sara Davoudi

Are we assuming digital literacy these days? And is it fair to do so? In our course descriptions, we write that students need computers and wifi. That seems fair given the era we live in. But we do not write that they must possess some kind of digital literacy, that is assumed. And it seems […]

Open learning

Posted on November 4, 2021 by Sara Davoudi

Are our old norms changing after the pandemic? Could it be that we were forced to move a bit from teacher centric to learning centric and that it therefore feels reasonable not to only have monologue lectures as standard teaching? Even though it is still the content focus and that it is an end result […]

OPEN LEARNING

Posted on November 3, 2021 by Malvina Latifaj

Feels good to get back to writing, after two very constructive weeks discussing open learning. Had a few reflections during the past couple of weeks, but I would like to focus on a specific phenomena. I have been on LinkedIn for years now, and I am a big fan. Among the different job ads, job […]

Jan on Open Learning

Posted on November 3, 2021 by Jan Auracher

For Topic 2 – Open Learning – Group 3 based its discussion on the three dimensions of openness introduced by Dalsgaard and Thestrup (Dalsgaard & Thestrup, 2015). The authors distinguish between Transparency, Communication, and Engagement, with Transparency referring to the interaction among students, Communication to the contact with the world outside the classroom, and EngagementContinue reading “Jan on Open Learning”

The Escape (and more…)

Posted on October 26, 2021 by Erica Adlercreutz

This week we have discussed different aspects of openness in education. My group has discussed openness as three overlapping dimensions, Transparency, Engagement and Communication. We have been doing the research on a quite general level, but have not really engaged in much discussion about openness in our personal context. Personally I have participated in severalContinue reading “The Escape (and more…)”

Digital literacies during COVID-19

Posted on October 25, 2021 by Malvina Latifaj

The topic on digital literacies, was a very interesting one, but before reading the literature, and before starting our group discussions, I think I had this “tunnel vision”. I had a very narrow definition of what it meant to have digital literacy skills. To me, it was probably enough, to be able to use technology […]

Topic 2 – Week 1

Posted on October 25, 2021 by Martin Lundgren

For this weeks topic and scenario, we decided to address openness in education and teaching from challenges and opportunities. To help us denote just what we mean by that we landed on the three dimensional model as presented by Dalsgaard and Thestrup (2015): communication, transparency, and engagement. When reading up on various challenges and opportunities, […]

Jan on Digital Literacy

Posted on October 18, 2021 by Jan Auracher

In the last two weeks we discussed about Digital Literacy (DL) and Digital Competence. From what I understood, no one seems to really know what the term DL exactly means. Thus, most discussions about DL start with a new definition – mostly by adding to a seemingly endless list of competences that are associated withContinue reading “Jan on Digital Literacy”

Topic 1 – Week 2

Posted on October 16, 2021 by Martin Lundgren

This week was a bit more energetic. In our group, we have started to know each other, and we have found some interesting reading material around digital literacy. Although, up to this point, it has been a bit unclear just what to produce and how. However, today was the last day to work on it, […]
