Lessons learned in topic 5 So here we are at topic five. We met our PBL group yesterday evening, and it was an emotional farewell, to our facilitators, Alastair and David who I can’t thank enough for their time and wisdom in keeping us on course. And to my fellow participants, Elżbieta, Helene, Irshaad, Sara …

Modes of learning and accessibility #ONL212 Topic 5
Learning about Elmore’s four modes of learning in Levälahti (2021) and Meilleur (2020), I get a feeling that one of these modes is considered dated and unfunctional. The top left quadrant (hierarchical/individual) is described as a ”competitive system” and the readers are supposed to analyze where we are and where we want to go (inFortsätt läsa “Modes of learning and accessibility #ONL212 Topic 5”

Designs for Learning – an craft or science?
“robots” by jmorgan is licensed under CC BY-SA 2.0 My primary degree is psychology, and I recall during my undergraduate years a strong emphasis on it as a scientific discipline, with all of the accompanying rigour.

Meitheal – a note on collaboration in postdigital times
In times past, for hard cultivation work – planting, growing, ploughing and harvesting- you needed your neighbours. Saving hay, turf cutting, crops or any complex labour-intensive farming work relied on a community response to be successfully completed. This collective response is known in Irish as a meitheal.

Topic 3: Collaborative Learning
I found this week’s task fun because we used a podcast to inform others about collaborative learning. Prior to covid, I purely lectured face to face using some case studies to assist learning. My practice has changed significantly where I lecture online and had to adopt gameification, quizzes, online chats, forums and activities to engageContinue reading “Topic 3: Collaborative Learning”
Topic 2 : Openness and sharing
One may take the concept of Openness for granted. For me openness means access to information, resources that are available. There might be a argument between capitalism (profit) VS sharing information with others. In my country, South Africa, I see a a huge rich poor divide because many students do not have access to purchasingContinue reading “Topic 2 : Openness and sharing”
