Hi Everyone! I joined ONL as an Open Learner from De La Salle-College of Saint Benilde, Manila, Philipines. I am teaching mathematics and currently the head of the curriculum unit of the Center for Faculty Advancement. I heard this from Ms. Ong after she delivered her webinar at our institution. When she invited us to […]
Visitor or resident? This “digital native” can’t seem to settle down.
For the past two weeks, the problem-based learning (PBL) group I’m in has been discussing digital technology and the emotions it can trigger – from excitement to unease…

Topic 5
Insights I think i learned about the key requirements needed to build an online course that participants could find useful. I learnt about how to create spaces for interaction and reflection, how to foster collaboration in groups and encourage learner participation.

EduNauts – “Merci” for the time together
Welcome to my space for the reflections on topic 5 – Lessons learnt – future practice The last webinar ended with a beautiful Miroboard – I grew really fond of this tool. I gonna quote my fellow EduNauts Lucinda Jolly “talk the talk … walk the walk”, was one of the many things she told […]

Topic 5: Final summarizing reflection
During the ONL222 course, I have come to understand that open networked learning and the increasing plethora of useful digital resources can offer great possibilities for instructors and learners alike.

While several internal as well as external factors will determine the decision of students to drop a course, Park and Choi (2009) have identified […]
Topic 3: Constructive online collaboration requires intrinsic learner motivation, time, trust, shared values, and a balanced sharing of duties
Scenario 3 draws attention to lacking collaboration among students while working in groups. Capdeferro and Romero (2012) have identified in their research that students often feel frustrated in collaborative learning activities in online courses, particularly due to asymmetric collaboration, a lack of shared values and clear communication, and due to an imbalance regarding individual contributions […]
