Posted on October 23, 2020 by Dean de Koning

For our next task, we continued looking at the possibilities, prospects, disadvantages and challenges for Open learning models.

Posted on October 22, 2020 by Derya Duran

For task 2, we were supposed to work on the concepts of openness and sharing in education.

But, with the assignedContinue reading “Sharing is messy”

It is already happening

Posted on October 19, 2020 by Ulrika Myhr

We really do not have a choice – open learning is already happening and soon enough educational institutions will be evaluated according to their ”quality of learning support” rather than ” the quality of content delivery” which students can find in other places.

The scenario for the week reminds me of a movie called the “Hurt Locker”. Here, the main actor (dunno his name) of the movie bravely enters a super market, only to be faced with the daunting task of staring down the isl of countless boxes of breakfast cereals, doing all of this with the infinitely […]

The main reason for me being here is to find out if a Virtual Exchange can give the same personal growth that a physical student/teacher exchange can give.

Almost all of these courses have been rather ‘typical’ in that they involved people (i.e., students and teachers) who are physically co-located and adopted standard pedagogical tools (e.g., reading & writing assignments, classroom discussions, presentations etc.).
