PBL group 11 – Open Networked Learning

From bird to elephant

Posted on December 20, 2022 by Ana Maria Barral

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

Posted on June 22, 2022 by Ann-Marie Rosenqvist-Berg

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….

Posted on June 21, 2022 by Ann-Marie Rosenqvist-Berg

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 […]

Connecitivism and teams as learning communities

Posted on June 20, 2022 by Ann-Marie Rosenqvist-Berg

As knowledge today is changing rapidly the ability to see, and make connections in the vast amount of new knowledge is crucial. Also, with a massive amount of knowledge a crucial skill today is to rapidly evaluate whether something is worth knowing or not (Siemens, 2004) Siemens (2004) argues that technology has changed our societies […]

Reflection on topic 4: Design for online and blended learning.

Posted on June 12, 2022 by Johanna Elfgren

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.

Posted on June 12, 2022 by Johanna Elfgren

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

Posted on June 12, 2022 by Johanna Elfgren

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 […]

Open Education

Posted on June 5, 2022 by Ann-Marie Rosenqvist-Berg

”Open education encompasses resources, tools and practices that employ a framework of open sharing to improve educational access and effectiveness worldwide.” (The Open Education Consortium) My path of understanding topic 2 starts from this very broad definition of what open education is. Is it a philosophical discussion about what openness means? Or is it […]
