Collaborative Learning using PBL

Posted on April 23, 2021 by Terese Sjölund

During the Open Network Learning-course we used Problem Based Learning (PBL) in the group assignments. We used the FISh (focus-investigate-share) document to guide our thinking. The topic leaders introduced us to the scenario at the beginning of the first group meeting. Discussions about our focus was carried out, after which everyone was investigating more aboutContinue reading “Collaborative Learning using PBL”

Topic 3: The role of leadership in collaborative learning

Posted on April 22, 2021 by Jari Vepsäläinen

In this topic, I was very keen on understanding these two things and I set out to find the answers for scientific articles. is a leader needed in a group? what style of leading is the best way? First one must ask themselves, what are the roles in a group? It is an interpersonal need […]

Topic 3 – Collaborative learning protocol design

Posted on April 20, 2021May 10, 2021 by Gunnar KarlssonLeave a Comment

Collaboration does not just emerge It is a vain hope to believe that a group of people will learn together effectively simply because they have been admitted into a course of their choice. Hence, I propose that the course participants are given a clear structure of what is expected of them in terms of their […]

Topic 3: Collaboration

Posted on April 19, 2021 by Anna Sjöberg

During the courses I teach, within media and communication science, the students often work in groups. One reason for this is that people in the media industry often works in different project groups. In marketing, a project can consist of a number of different people with different skills that collaborate (for example, an art director,… Fortsätt läsa Topic 3: Collaboration

Open Minds

Posted on April 11, 2021 by KHO Su Yian

I must admit that the talk by Maha Bali opened up several avenues of thought for me concerning open education. Previously my perception of open education was perhaps somewhat naive and oversimplified – to me, it was mainly a matter of cost. Textbooks, case studies, reference books and other teaching materials can be a heavyContinue reading “Open Minds”

Topic 2: Open Learning – sharing and openness

Posted on April 6, 2021 by Jari Vepsäläinen

I have to admit that this topic didn’t really open up. In our own PBL group work we discussed about instructions, or steps, one needs to take in order to make an open course. Most of the two weeks our approach seemed quite chaotic but in the end the team ended up with good overall […]

Topic 2: Open Learning – Sharing and Openness

Posted on April 5, 2021 by Mika Sipponen

Over the past two weeks, I served as a topic leader within the problem-based learning group no. 8. Within the topic “Open Learning – Sharing and Openness” we were asked to study a scenario in which a (university) teacher is willing to make her/his course fully open, but does not know where to start. OurContinue reading “Topic 2: Open Learning – Sharing and Openness”

Digital Literacy(ies?)

Posted on April 1, 2021 by KHO Su Yian

The concept of literacy has become more multi-faceted and complex as technology, pedagogy and social consciousness have progressed. Just being able to read and write in one language is no longer sufficient in today’s society and workplace. Today it’s widely acknowledged that there are multiple literacies and literacies are not necessarily universal, but contextual toContinue reading “Digital Literacy(ies?)”

Openness and sharing

Posted on April 1, 2021 by Terese Sjölund

Sharing information should be, for an educator or a teacher, a normal thing to do. Even though how much information we share or how many students we educate, the information and knowledge will not disappear or vanish from ourselves. (Wiley.2010)Even though Dr. Wileys speech is from 2010, it is very needed today, as well. InContinue reading “Openness and sharing”

Topic 2 – Thoughts on product design – the open course case

Posted on March 30, 2021April 8, 2021 by Gunnar KarlssonLeave a Comment

The most important educational product that a faculty develops is a course. We might develop various teaching materials independent of courses but the course is the primary component of university education, which is the chief occupation of the faculty. Alas, it is often a lonely development and not too seldom an ad hoc activity. When […]

Topic 2 – Open courses

Posted on March 25, 2021 by Anna Sjöberg

We are becoming more and more accustomed to digital tools being a part of our everyday lives. Digitization entails both risks and opportunities. One such opportunity is open courses. The population is increasing and there is a growing need for education. One benefit of using open courses can, for example, be an opportunity for poor… Fortsätt läsa Topic 2 – Open courses
