I have just spent 38 minutes watching a wonderful video by Wilson Miner that discusses our perceptions of the world and how different inventions and innovations alter the way we see, use and exist in the world. Miner relies heavily on Marshall McLuhan in this video, quoting among other things, «The extension of any oneLes meir “EVOLVING”
Evolve
A long break, the dark winter, Christmas with only half my family, a New Year opening dismally with increased contagion and more restrictions than before. A demagogue, and angry mob – and yet I have a primula blooming on my windowsill. And I have two projects going at work – nothing makes «going to work»Les meir “Evolve”
Some Reflections on my Experience with ONL202: Looking Back and Road Ahead
Finally it is time for some reflection and meta-comments about my experience with the ONL202 course. I will organize this post around three main themes: (1) my general remarks about the way this course designed and unfolded, (2) my main take-aways, (3) the road ahead. To begin with, I think that the course is veryContinue reading “Some Reflections on my Experience with ONL202: Looking Back and Road Ahead”
Digitized Socialization: A Catch-22?
The fourth topic of the ONL course was focused on designing the courses for online and blended (i.e., “the organic integration of thoughtfully selected and complementary face-to-face and online approaches” as defined bay Garrison & Vaughan [2008: 148]) environments. The leitmotif of this week has been the Community of Inquiry (CoI) Framework, which was introducedContinue reading “Digitized Socialization: A Catch-22?”
The end, the beginning
This week the course on creating good online courses came to an end. We were asked to evaluate the course and of course the questions focussed on what did we do well, what could we do better. One of the first modules in the course looked at what was necessary for creating a good onlineLes meir “The end, the beginning”
Lessons learnt – future practice
Torii – the gate to the a „special“ place in Japan (shinto – way of gods) as a symbol for the path we went through the course and the way in front of us…

Nuremberg funnel is out! ?
We laugh about such historical pictures, but is this style of teaching really gone? How about new learning theories and the learning practice? Digital learning in the 21st century does not mean automatically progressive learning theories or pedagogy as Georg Siemens not so long ago pointed out: I posted my ideas to overcome this on“Nuremberg funnel is out! ?” weiterlesen
Collaborative – Cooperative
No question, that was the funniest group activity during the seminar. A quizz was designed and one group tried to solve it in a cooparative way (deviding the work), the other group in a collaborative way (thinking together). Of course the collaborative acting group could solve the problem with joy and success. For better understanding“Collaborative – Cooperative” weiterlesen
If it is open and free, you are the product.
That is the message to be learned as the part of the course. Looking in my reflection diary at that time I felt „brainwashed“ and „stalked“ from the provider of the tools I have tried. Worldpress would not give up to overload me with advertisement, padlet was only free for three padlets; I faced borders“If it is open and free, you are the product.” weiterlesen
Final Stretch
We have reached the end of the road for ONL, and we are now wrapping up the final strands of the course, as well the final embers of year 2020. 2021 will be the year where we apply some of the new disciplines and tools learned this year into a “brave new world” of uncertainty […]
What have I learned?
What are the most important things that you have learnt through your engagement in the ONL course? Why? I think that this course will grow on me. So much content to absorb and use when creating my next on-line course. I am somewhat overwhelmed, how will I be able to create courses that take into considerationFortsätt läsa “What have I learned?”
Design? What about content?
Topic 4 about learning design was one reason I wanted to take this course. Due to uncontrollable circumstances, I have been a step behind my group in reflection and action and I have since tried to catch up. When reading about pedagogical learning designs such as “the 7 C´s of Learning design” (Gráinne Conole) or “The five-stageFortsätt läsa “Design? What about content?”
