Reflections on topic 3: Learning in communities – networked collaborative learning

Posted on November 18, 2019 by Marie-Louise Eriksson

It is hard to create a good online environment that is well suited for connected learning. It demands a lot of time and effort, both from “teacher”/facilitator and learner, and a shared knowledge of different digital tools to become a really effective and creative learning experience. PLN It has been nice to think about my […]

Collaborative learning online or offline?

Posted on November 18, 2019 by Per Sandén

I have been struggling to finding the difference between online collaborative learning and on campus collaborative learning. Is there a difference? What is the difference? Brindley et al. (2009) examined the influence of grading on the participation in group work in an online course, without finding any effect. Instead they concluded that there are severalContinue reading “Collaborative learning online or offline?”

Believe in collaboration

Posted on November 17, 2019 by Christiane Schnabel

I am running really late with my blog post this time. ‘Life’ happens and several commitments create conflicts. – Anyways, I try to dedicate at least a bit of time to reflect on these weeks’ topic. My PBL group mainly focused on collaboration and what facilitates it in online communities. In the end, we realizedContinue reading “Believe in collaboration”

OPEN LEARNING – sharing and openness (Topic 2)

Posted on November 4, 2019 by Marie-Louise Eriksson

During these last weeks I have been overwhelmed by the mass of shared feelings, ideas, tools and experiences on the ONL192 blogs. I have only just begun reading and taking part and is finding it totally wonderful (and a bit stressful). Besides from discussing different definitions of open education/open pedagogy/open resources we have been focusing […]

When one door closes, another one… BANG!

Posted on November 4, 2019 by Richard Wesson

This week our Open Network Learning (ONL) community engaged in the conversation of ‘going open’ with educational resources. In theory, this would include; text, audio and video teaching materials created by educators/scholars. Placed online means a carbon copy released to the world with no clue for where it may end up. #Daunting FREE for ALLContinue reading “When one door closes, another one… BANG!”

I have a dream

Posted on November 2, 2019 by Per Sandén

I am clearly in favour of a completely open education. Open access to literature, open educational resources, no tuition fees, open educational practice, open pedagogics and completely inclusive to all learners irrespective of their functional diversity or socio-economic status. Yes, I know that this is impossible, but that is my dream. I am not thatContinue reading “I have a dream”

Topic 2: Open Learning – Sharing and Openness

Posted on November 1, 2019 by M Kamala Devi

The second topic in the ONL course was very insightful and had me thinking what “OPENNESS” means in my practice of NURSING EDUCATION. Openness, to me means sharing my teaching materials, research findings, ideas and thoughts with my peers, colleagues and students. Personally, I have no issues sharing. The openness of education somewhere in theContinue reading “Topic 2: Open Learning – Sharing and Openness”

Openness?

Posted on October 28, 2019 by Christiane Schnabel

These weeks’ topic is openness. With this one, I have struggled a bit to get into it. The materials did not seem too appealing to me at first and in the webinar I had difficulties to really get involved. My initial impression was “Openness? Sure, it’s a good thing. You should be open. What is […]

Topic 1: Online participation & digital literacies

Posted on October 15, 2019 by Marie-Louise Eriksson

So, this weeks topic for me has been about putting myself and my own experiences into the context, for example a framework such as DigComp 2.1. In my work as a teaching librarian I´m familiar with different kinds of frameworks and we use them regularly. But one day as I looked on the picture on […]

The Change

Posted on October 15, 2019 by Irene Eriksson

Since I started the Open Networked Learning (ONL) course a lot has happened. First, however, I must tell the history of how I became an ONL student. Learning has always been fun to me and, as I have learned, sharing any accumulated knowledge with others seemed not only exciting but also fair. I saw the […]

Digital competence, digital literacy and digital identity

Posted on October 14, 2019 by Per Sandén

I started my work to understand these concepts at a fairly philosophical and existential level. Identity could be a concept on this level. What is my identity? Do I have the same identity online as offline? Do I have the same identity when I meet students as when I meet colleagues? Do I have the […]

“Who in the world am I? Ah, that’s the great puzzle.” – ― Lewis Carroll , Alice in Wonderland

Posted on October 14, 2019 by Richard Wesson

We have a choice of what, who and how we want to portray ourselves in a digital environment, think about the movies Ready Player One and Avatar, what skin and personality would you adopt? After spending time in an online community, we may start to identify with that community, and portray a version of ourselves which fits that […]
