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 […]
…and so the story goes…
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 […]
Sorry I’m not home right now, I’m walking into spiderwebs…
“…so leave your message and I’ll call you back […] You’re intruding on what’s mine And you’re taking up my time Don’t have the courage inside me To tell you please let me be Communication, a telephonic invasion I’m planning my escape…” In 1995, Gwen Stefani crooned these lines, part of the song “Spiderwebs” allegedly […]
Motivation and Network
I find that the technology can enable many collaborative networks in learning processes. However, these need to be tailored to the intent of the specific educational goals or practices that must be clearly established. Also the network should have both an individual and collective function. According to Wegner each community “is engaged in the […]
learning and sharing
“Tell me and I will forget, show me and I may remember; involve me and I will understand.” (Confucius) This…
Does my pedagogical apporach change online? Or should it?
During the reflection week, I encountered a couple of discussions on evidence-based methods and research in relation to this course – both the difficulty of finding research and evidence for how we should (or could?) teach online and the need for using more evidence-based methods within the course. Online teaching is still in its infancy, […]
Us and me: Community building and open self
As I am not a lecturer but a human resource developer, I had a certain respect for the topic of…
Openness, freedom of speech, and misinformation – the tweeting twit or the twittered tweet?
OK, this week is about reflecting on the course – my first thought was, has it really been five weeks? Looking back, the first thing that I realized is that no matter how smashed I feel before our group work begins, I’m pumped up and ready to go a few minutes into the conversation. I […]

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 […]
Are my students actually visitors?
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 […]
Visitors and residents; may not just about contributing?
Like most of us taking ONL222 I found it easy to relate to the idea of being visitors and residents in the digital world. Depending on what place you are in, like an app or site, you can either be comfortable, know the rules and your way around as a resident, or be uncomfortable, not […]
The 1800 € pizza slice (a not so free creative common)
“Gin, where did you take this picture from?” the director’s voice was serious and worried. I looked at the picture shown on the screen, it was a photograph I took during the workshop referred to in the presentation, and so I declared. “Are you 100% sure?” insisted the director; of course I was sure! That […]
