My digital journey: past, present and future

Posted on October 11, 2019 by Susan Gamache

My fellow teachers have often asked me why I am so keen on designing and teaching online courses. To me it’s about flexibility, access, inclusion and 21st century working life skills.

Thoughts around digital literacy.

Posted on October 8, 2019 by Shanice Adams

What is digital literacy? In my opinion, digital literacy is the ability to navigate and use the digital tools and search engines at our disposal.

Blogging is not completely new to me. In fact, I have been blogging for approximately 8 years, on and off, in two different blogs.

I realize that I am brought up in the tradition of knowledge where learning and expressing knowledge is somewhat different processes. Learning privately before expressing it publicity. The ONL course challenges this by encouraging expressing the not yet known publicitly. I look forward to learn to express what I don’t already know together with my […]
