8 weeks ago, I had a vague idea of what HPT was. In my initial EDCI 528, Human Performance Technology blogpost I defined HPT as “human solutions to organizational problems to increase efficiency.” I’d say that this definition was pretty well formulated, even if it was concise. Behind these simple words an HPT specialist laysFortsätt läsa “Final Reflections, EDCI 528”

EDCI 528: Goals and Expectations
What do you think Human Performance Technology entails? It’s the first week of EDCI 528, Human Performance Technology and I vaguely have an idea of what the class will cover.

From bird to elephant
I am writing this on December 20th 2022. While I have been on Twitter since 2009 and was a fan of the community (especially science and science education tweeps), things have gotten nastier lately. I think what got to me was the recent policy (which may have been scrapped, but who knows) of not including […]
Reflections and lessons learnt
Interesting, fatiguing but foremost rewarding…. Reflecting back on this ONL is at the same time a reflection on my first, almost whole, year at Arcada. Taking part of the ONL course was valuable since it gave me a better understanding of how working with PBL groups feels from a student perspective. I feel learning collaboratively […]
Topic 4, Learning design – not yet there….
This topic was by far the most interesting to me. This topic nicely connects all the previous topics in this ONL-course and gives me tools to design future courses. It seems to be a good way of planning courses in a more thoughtful manner, taking the different learners perspectives in account in a more structured […]

Reflection on topic 5: Lessons learnt- future practice.

Reflection on topic 4: Design for online and blended learning.
This blog post describes my thoughts about topic four; design for online and blended learning. As written in my last blog post, designing meaningful assignments for online learning has been challenging in my department during the pandemic. This spring, we have been moving back to campus, with mixed feelings from teachers and students, many students […]
Reflection on topic 3: Learning in communities – networked collaborative learning.
This blog post will focus on the third topic of the ONL-course; Learning in communities – networked collaborative learning. I will use the experience from my PBL-group in this course and examples from our cooperation during topics one and two. First of all, I’m delighted to be a member of PBL11. Since our first meeting, […]
Reflection on topic 2: Open Learning – Sharing and Openness
This blog post will summarize my thoughts about topic two in this ONL-course; sharing and openness. I will describe my views on open education as they evolved from the group work in PBL 11. In the article by Catherine Cronin (2017), she uses the definition of open education as “resources, tools, and practices that employ […]
