Posted on November 14, 2019 by Eva Guan

“I used to take an online course at Dalarna University and the final exam for the course was two students to do group work for a final presentation. The student I was working with, divided the task into two parts and she took one part. After that, I have never heard from her or gotContinue reading “Learning in communities – networked collaborative Learning”

Posted on November 13, 2019 by Eva Guan

These two weeks I have been working on my course project for another pedagogisk course in higher education and was not possible to update my thinking about open learning. Finally I can slow down, bake some rimbo rolls, drink some tea, and reflect on what I learned from topic two. When i first read theContinue reading “Open Learning – Sharing and Openness”

Sunday evening after a busy week with lectures, research activities and discussions with students. Many impressions and new thoughts to reflect.

Learning in communities – networked collaborative learning Here I want to comment on two things that I definitely see as advantages of networked collaborative learning if used wisely. Both have to do with research. I have seen many scholars form relatively static groups with potentially many people inside the group but little interaction between thoseFortsätt läsa “Blog 3: Topic 3”

Let’s go open?

Posted on November 3, 2019 by Lara Carvalho

Opportunities and challenges of open online coursesAs a researcher, starting to give my first steps in online teaching, I felt the need to dig into the various types of online courses and how they work. Apparently, there are many different formats of o…

Topic 2: open learning – sharing and openness

Posted on November 2, 2019 by Dirk Möller

Very exciting topic. It affects both, teachers and learners. Everyone can benefit from it, but everyone must be willing to share. And maybe that’s the sticking point … Sharing and openness The idea of sharing my materials openly for online courses has set a defense mechanism in my mind. I’ve spent much much time inContinue reading “Topic 2: open learning – sharing and openness”

Getting Started with Topic 1

Posted on October 15, 2019 by Ines De Almeida

At first I was quiet apprehensive of the ONL192 course because my colleagues said that there is quiet a lot of work involved. As I started the course it was very interesting to me that because of technology we connect with different types of cultures from all over the world. The dynamics in my group are great. I have very strong academics as well as strong personalities in my group. I sometimes find it hard to voice my opinion as I find myself intimidated by how intellectual my group really is a […]

Online participation

What´s the fun in that?
