Am I Really Ready For Open Learning? Posted on November 3, 2019 by Eugene Macalinga Openness. Open learning is something not foreign to me. Having been in education for many years, I’ve benefited from open learning thanks to the free online resources available within my fingertips. There is a myriad of Massive Open Online Courses (MOOC’s) on the web, and only my circadian rhythm seems to be the physical limitContinue reading “Am I Really Ready For Open Learning?”
Digital Literacy, anyone? Posted on November 2, 2019 by Eugene Macalinga The past few weeks have been a roller-coaster ride for me in terms of learning. I’m on a high when I am able to catch-up with the new online platforms that are shared in our ONL group. It’s such a joy when you learn new things, in this case, new online tools that I’ve neverContinue reading “Digital Literacy, anyone?”
Openness in education Posted on October 31, 2019 by Marja Elonheimo During the last weeks we have been thinking, talking and investigating the topic of Open learning – sharing and openness in our course and PBL group.

Changing perspective on online participation Posted on October 16, 2019 by Cecilia Hellekant I’m not afraid of using digital tools, as I in various workplaces have used a lot of different tools, upgrading or changing them as time passes. But I think I use them more as a visitor than a resident (David White, Visitor and Residents).

I like that?I laughed at that line from the TED-Talk (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rb0syrgsH6M) from David Wiley.Regarding Reflec…
Student Engagement in Online Classrooms Posted on October 13, 2019 by Lisa-Marie Teubler During this week’s ONL scenario, we were given the time to think about student engagement in the online classroom.

Cyber me Posted on October 11, 2019 by Marja Elonheimo In our ONL group, we have discussed a lot about the mutual feeling we seem to have: none of us is really comfortable with writing blogs or sharing personal thoughts or ideas with the unknown audience of the cyber world.
