Topic 4 – Blended Learning

Posted on May 11, 2021 by Laura Cox

Much like Topic 2, this one seems extra relevant in the current educational context. Over the last year, all of us have had to adapt to new ways of communicating, especially migrating online for meetings, lectures, and seminars. Problems that we haven’t had to think too much about before, such as connect issues, managing breakContinue reading “Topic 4 – Blended Learning”

Topic 5: Summary of the ONL course

Posted on May 10, 2021 by Anna Sjöberg

The best thing about the ONL course has been to share experiences with other course participants. It has also been good to test many new digital tools that can work in online teaching and in blended learning. For me, the most rewarding topic was “Blended learning”. I think it is an interesting topic and the… Fortsätt läsa Topic 5: Summary of the ONL course

Topic 4 – The mixology of blended learning

Posted on May 10, 2021May 11, 2021 by Gunnar KarlssonLeave a Comment

All learning is blended, except when done entirely on one’s own. Learning blends classroom and homework, study groups with independent work. We alternate between the different learning contexts because they are beneficial and each one contributes something to the learning process for each student. The new component, if something more than 30 years old may […]

Topic 3 – Learning in Communities

Posted on May 10, 2021 by Laura Cox

This was my turn to co-lead and I found collaboration/learning in communities to be a really interesting topic, both in the content and how collaboration actually played out. In the ONL context there were at least two aspects of collaboration for me: working together with my co-leader and working together in the group. I alsoContinue reading “Topic 3 – Learning in Communities”

The Future is Blended

Posted on May 9, 2021 by KHO Su Yian

While I like blended learning because the learning environment and tools can be expanded to accommodate different types of learners with different schedules, paces of learning and communication preferences, I personally do not enjoy hybrid classes. Having students simultaneously in the classroom and online in my experience is a sub-optimal situation, as the teacher isContinue reading “The Future is Blended”

Topic 2 – Open Learning – Sharing and Openness

Posted on May 7, 2021 by Laura Cox

As the world becomes ever more connected and as COVID continually pushes us online, this topic seemed very important to explore. I have been interested in open online courses for several years and have my fair share of experience participating in MOOCs on platforms like FutureLearn, however coming at it from the planning side wasContinue reading “Topic 2 – Open Learning – Sharing and Openness”

Topic 4: Blended learning

Posted on May 7, 2021 by Anna Sjöberg

Blended learning As we already know, the situation with Covid has led to an increasing amount of digital distance education. I hope that we after Covid keep the best parts of digital teaching and combine these with teaching face to face. I think that blended learning, a mix of online and face-to-face teaching, will have… Fortsätt läsa Topic 4: Blended learning

Thoughts on Blended learning

Posted on May 6, 2021 by Terese Sjölund

We all want to eat that perfect meal or taste that delicious drink, and when it comes to teaching, we want to offer that perfect course where students learn and get new understanding, that changes their thinking. The problem is that we all have different tastes, and the same goes with learning, we learn inContinue reading “Thoughts on Blended learning”

To Work with Others, Know Thyself

Posted on May 6, 2021 by KHO Su Yian

In some ways, especially technology-wise, this is a golden age for collaborative learning. Top tier universities such as MIT and Stanford offer course materials for free, internet access is prevalent worldwide (although stability and speed still vary a great deal between countries), and free collaborative tools online such as Padlet, Wakelet, Google Docs and othersContinue reading “To Work with Others, Know Thyself”

Topic 3: Learning in communities – networked collaborative learning

Posted on April 28, 2021 by Mika Sipponen

Collaborative work can be a daunting task if not all the participants are working coherently towards a common goal. Talking to my peers it has become evident that group assignments often fail to engage participants equally. Since this is a reflection blog, I take the freedom to share some of my own experiences. In retrospect,Continue reading “Topic 3: Learning in communities – networked collaborative learning”

Topic 1 – Online participation and digital literacies

Posted on April 26, 2021 by Laura Cox

For me, this was a great place to start the course – both in terms of the wider ONL content and the group work on this topic. Our understanding of digital tools and our participation in digital spaces forms the foundation of our ability to use these effectively. I was familiar with the concepts of digitalContinue reading “Topic 1 – Online participation and digital literacies”

Topic 1: ONL 211 Digital Literacies

Posted on April 24, 2021 by sara boundok

The first topic on ONL 211 course was digital literacies, literacy itself is not a new topic. The Traditional literacy which mean the ability to read and write is well known. On the other hand, the digital ones were new terminologies for me. When I heard the terminology, I was wondering why it was inContinue reading “Topic 1: ONL 211 Digital Literacies”
