Staying connected

Posted on November 21, 2020 by Ebba Sundin

I thought about Personal Learning Networks (PLNs) the other day when I passed by the local newspaper, and started to wonder if the local reporters are building their PLNs for their continuous professional development. I haven’t really thought about PLNs before and how it could benefit me in my role as a university teacher andContinue reading “Staying connected”

Topic 2: Open Learning – Reflection

Posted on November 9, 2020 by Bianca Crozier

The concept of open learning and MOOCs, before joining ONL202, was something that was completely new to me. Being introduced to it in this way was an eye-opening experience, and the below reflection is what I have taken away from topic 2: When this topic of “Openness” was introduced, I was very eager to understandContinue reading “Topic 2: Open Learning – Reflection”

Topic 2: Challenges in MOOCs

Posted on November 3, 2020 by Hui Zhao

Taking advantage of open education, MOOCs is often mentioned as a good example of opening, flexibility, and sharing. In the lectures, the teachers talked about privacy, misuse of content, and so on. Here are some of my thoughts about the challenges in open education, for instance, MOOCs. How much freedom does individual have? The firstContinue reading “Topic 2: Challenges in MOOCs”

Breakfast Knowledge and Openness

Posted on November 2, 2020 by Malin Lindahl

I’m interested in opening up some of my courses and sharing the resources in a responsible way, but I don’t really know where to start. What options are there for offering courses that are open? How do I get support from my colleagues and how do I introduce the idea to my students? What areContinue reading “Breakfast Knowledge and Openness”

Topic 1: Online Participation and Digital Literacies – Reflection

Posted on October 29, 2020 by Bianca Crozier

2020 started out as any normal year, little did we know at that point, that we would be thrown into a pandemic which has turned the education system (particularly in South Africa) on its head! The norm of getting up and going to work in the morning to conduct a full day of classes, seeingContinue reading “Topic 1: Online Participation and Digital Literacies – Reflection”

To stay in the open – content, context, and connections

Posted on October 28, 2020 by Ebba Sundin

Research, teach, and reach out to the public. Do you recognize yourself in this job description? And if so, do you put your different tasks in this order? For most of us with this job description, we think of the first and third task as a unit – we do research and we share thisContinue reading “To stay in the open – content, context, and connections”

Reflection on topic 1

Posted on October 11, 2020 by Malin Lindahl

My presence in the digital world so far is one rather disparate. In my private sphere I use social media on and off, mostly as a spectator. Professionally I have a more constant presence with a more distinct focus on art, pedagogy, sustainability, communication and development of knowledge. From time to time my private digitalContinue reading “Reflection on topic 1”

Online Participation and Digital Literacies

Posted on October 11, 2020 by Ebba Sundin

“I am an analogue kind of person”. How many times have I not uttered this to draw the line between what I have interpret to be either digital or analogue? Yes, I am still in the habit to get my first-hand experience of the weather by walking the five steps to the mailbox to pickContinue reading “Online Participation and Digital Literacies”

Topic 1: Contextualized Digital Literacy

Posted on October 7, 2020October 12, 2020 by Hui Zhao

Digital Literacy is Contextualized: Residents in Facebook/twitter does not equal resident in Canvas/Zoom I am skeptical about the term “digital native.” The relationship between young generation and technology requires more nuanced understanding. In my opinion, it is risky if the educators take students’ digital literacy for granted and downplay the necessity of the support system thatContinue reading “Topic 1: Contextualized Digital Literacy”

Getting Started and Connecting

Posted on October 3, 2020 by Bianca Crozier

We have successfully embarked in the first two weeks of ONL202 and have made it through the first week of topic one. Starting this journey was a mixture of both excitement and nervousness, however, the nerves have seemed to disappear and the excitement has grown in leaps and bounds now that we are starting toContinue reading “Getting Started and Connecting”

Digital and material literacy?

Posted on September 30, 2020 by Malin Lindahl

I’m thinking about analogous contact with materials, space, surrounding environment and objects, during digital engagement. I often find that even physical teaching needs to connect to awareness of other than human agents in learning situations. That even in the studio where students come with some preunderstanding of art and art pedagogy as something else thanContinue reading “Digital and material literacy?”
