Reflection topic 1, Digital litteracy In our PBL-group we discussed the concept of digital literacy and how the understanding of the meaning of the concept has changed over time. We all contributed by reflecting upon a case where a person chare her/his feelings of insecurity vis a vi peers in a online course (like […]
I found my way to this course rather by coincidence and so had little expectations to begin with. What made me decide to attend the course was mainly the relevance of the topics and not least the opportunity to exchange experience with people of different experience around the world.

From digital literacy to collaborative learning and more – the ONL211 course has been an eye-opening experience.
