The third topic centered around how to get people to really recognize the value of becoming part of a learning community and collaborate with their peers. The concept of collaborative learning is very new to me.I used to live and learn in a one-way broadcast environment. In a classroom with a strict rule (traditional style)Continue reading “Topic 3:Online learning in communities”

ONL 202 – reflection

Posted on December 15, 2020 by MLÖ

The start of the ONL202 journey was daunting – a byzantine website with loads of material to scroll through, cryptic course description, out-of-the-box course obligatories and a very long to-do list at work to be ticked off during the autumn term.

Topic2: Openness of Education

Posted on December 15, 2020 by Kinaz Al Aytouni

Our group discussions were about how to share an online course, how to create open material, what the obstacles were and most importantly what the benefits were. To me, openness has two perspectives.

Reflections on course literature

Posted on December 14, 2020 by Vigdis Ahnfelt

The 5 stage model of Gilly Salmon (2013) is really interesting and next semester I will make use of it both as a teacher and as a director of studies.

For this blog post’s topic, I didn’t have to think for a long time. When we discussed a change in teacher-student roles, I immediately thought about the concept of critical pedagogy. A concept which emphasizes how closely related social justice and democracy are to practices of learning and teaching. It was crucially influenced by theContinue reading “Monday, December 14th”
