Topic 4: Design for Online and Blended Learning

Posted on May 29, 2021 by Svenja Bruenger

Since the start of the pandemic in 2020, I have been teaching remotely. First, at the University of Regensburg (UR) and after, at the National University of Singapore (NUS).

Only the amount of these two methods varied between theContinue reading “Topic 4: Design for Online and Blended Learning”

Topic 2: Open Learning – Sharing and Openness

Posted on May 29, 2021 by Svenja Bruenger

Open Learning means, to me, having free access to teaching materials and other learning resources. For example, available courses whenever and wherever I am without needing to pay for it. Thanks to the ONL-course, I got to develop an understanding of Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) and through the platform Class Central, I found anContinue reading “Topic 2: Open Learning – Sharing and Openness”

Topic 1: Online Participation & Digital Literacies

Posted on May 29, 2021 by Svenja Bruenger

Like everybody in their mid-forties I did not grow up in close contact with computers, mobile phones, or the Internet. I remember that I got my first computer – an iMac G3 – in the late nineties when I was starting university. It was around this time when I created, with the help of aContinue reading “Topic 1: Online Participation & Digital Literacies”

Key ONL Takeaways

Posted on May 27, 2021 by Finlay MacGregor

1. Nuanced & positive understanding of professional digital interaction I’ve long recognized the difference between ability and use of online tools.

About openness

Posted on May 27, 2021 by Sanna Teerenhovi

When I signed up for this ONL211 course, I have to admit that I did not think about the word ‘open’ in the course’s name. Actually, I tried not to see it because the word ‘open’ made me uncomfortable. I realized this when we began topic 2: Open learning – sharing and openness. IfContinue reading “About openness”

What is Cooperative Learning?– A group of students work together on a structured activity, where the workload is split equally amongst the group members and each is responsible for their work. The groupContinue reading “Collaborative Learning”

Topic 4: Design for online and blended learning

Posted on May 25, 2021 by Nadia Caldes

Here come my thoughts as part of ONL211 topic 4. I must confess: Topic 4 was not my favorite topic. Firstly, I was abroad during those two weeks and could neither deal with the contents in depth nor – due to problems with the internet connection – participate in all group meetings. As I write this reflectiveContinue reading “Topic 4: Design for online and blended learning”
