The time has come and our first connecting week has kicked off. We met our facilitators, our peers and our group members. Intimidation is a factor. I feel like I am but a mere diploma lecturer in a sea of established researchers and professors and course creators. But my excitement also sets in as I … Continue reading The first step, the difficult question
I work as a university lecturer. Person-centered care, personal development and meeting people are my areas of interest. In my free time I like to Read (books), Watch (movies, series, programs, nature), Listen (podcasts, music) and Sleep?!. When I’m not still, I like movement, exercise and spending time with those I like.
We are approaching the end of this course, and to summon it up, I intend to go through my blog posts as well as having a look at my fellow students in the PBL11. Firstly, I wrote a blogpost called “Online skills in the making”, wherein I outlined some of the newly acquainted tools andContinue reading “Topic 5: Lessons learnt and future practice.”
This was the scenario: “ A year ago we were forced to work online with the implementation of emergency remote teaching and learning because of the Covid-19 pandemic. It seems that in many instances we may still be approaching our teaching practice in the same way without using any of the existing theoretical models forContinue reading “Topic 4: Pondering upon “Design for online and blended learning””
(June 13, a very late blogger catching up finally!) Now this was a greatly inspiring topic, not the least as I had the opportunity to collaborate with Nadia Caldes in the PBL group – acting as “leads” for this particular topic during the run of two weeks. As a lead we were to design bothContinue reading “Topic 3: Learning about “Learning in communities – networked collaborative learning””
ONL211 course finished almost a month ago, and it is time to reflect what I have learned and how has ONL211 changed my thoughts of online learning and teaching. I have to say that it is really difficult to write a clear and cohesive text about all the things I have learned about online learning and teaching in past three months. I will pick a few ideas thatContinue reading “What did I learn?”
When I signed up for this ONL211 course, I have to admit that I did not think about the word ‘open’ in the course’s name. Actually, I tried not to see it because the word ‘open’ made me uncomfortable. I realized this when we began topic 2: Open learning – sharing and openness. IfContinue reading “About openness”
Here come my thoughts as part of ONL211 topic 5. The last topic is about my lessons learnt and the future practice, so the task for this blog post is to reflect on my learning and development during the course. One main question guides my reflection: What are the most important things that I have learnt throughContinue reading “Topic 5: Lessons learned – future practice”
Here come my thoughts as part of ONL211 topic 4. I must confess: Topic 4 was not my favorite topic. Firstly, I was abroad during those two weeks and could neither deal with the contents in depth nor – due to problems with the internet connection – participate in all group meetings. As I write this reflectiveContinue reading “Topic 4: Design for online and blended learning”
A couple of years ago I started a blended learning project with a colleague. The project started really quickly: I got the idea in the beginning of summer holidays and found a project partner in August. Luckily, my project partner was more experienced in blended learning and online teaching than I was. We were bothContinue reading “Why I am here?”
