A course, a community, an approach

In our group work for topic four we have worked on a real case scenario by advising a client on…
My teaching experience during covid was also altered during covid19 and part of it moved online but not entirely as Sweden did not apply very strong measures as many other countries but it was definitely blended. In my case it was actually an advantage, since many of my courses require the active use of technology […]
Topic 4 was again a walk down memory lane. It took me 12 years back on time when my former boss decided that, because of my training as a group facilitator and session moderator, or perhaps because of my well-known chutzpah to venture into uncharted territories, I might be able to design an online course […]

Growing up in Korea I have mixed views and perceptions on open education. Confucianism values are deeply rooted in our culture making education a very important tool for social mobility. In the past, it meant that a farmer could obtain a high ranking position by passing an official public exam. However, with economic development the […]
As a teacher, I think about the visitor and resident spectrum in relation to my students and what I wrote in my previous post about residency being about learning the rules and becoming comfortable within a digital space. I teach a couple of courses that are given online to students with a fairly wide variety […]
