Under construction (Topic 3)

Posted on November 6, 2020November 24, 2020 by urban anjar

What is knowledge? A social construction? That the Earth (approximately) is a globe and that E = mc2 are in my not so humble opinion non-negotiable facts, at least until science finds facts that proves them false. Other areas of human knowledge…

Openness of education for a common good

Posted on November 6, 2020 by Essi Sairanen

For me the question about the openness of education and knowledge is a question of equality and a promotion of a common good. Coming from Finland, I have internalized an equality as a strong value. I see that education belongs to everybody and it is a way to build better society. In Finland, education has … Continue reading “Openness of education for a common good”

Open, Sesame!

Posted on November 3, 2020 by Nicolette Karst

The topic for this reflective text is Opennes in Education. I have thoroughly pondered upon it over the last two weeks. I started by examining the content of the word ‘open’ looking at how it is used in various idiomatic expressions. I found that many had a positive ring to them and nice images poppedFortsätt läsa “Open, Sesame!”

Open Education & Open Pedagogy – where to start?

Posted on November 3, 2020 by Brian Davies

Of course being ‘open’ entails the idea of sharing and where would we be without sharing? Something I read or heard recently (sorry, can’t remember where) talked about how Wikipedia can only exist because individuals are prepared to share. No private (or even public) enterprise could ever create such an all encompassing ocean of content.Fortsätt läsa “Open Education & Open Pedagogy – where to start?”

Reflection week

Posted on November 3, 2020 by Vigdis Ahnfelt

The week for reflections has already passed, filled with examinations and teaching. Then some time for reflections on the two first topics and reading my peers’ blogs – which I found interesting – but unfortunately no time for further reading of articles. Regarding topic 1 I think this is an ongoing process of didactic and […]

Open education as a Disruption

Posted on November 3, 2020 by Maya Hoveskog

Open education, as a second topic in the course, took me by surprise. Even if the concept was not really new to me and I have very limited experience with actually undertaking any type of open education. Our group soon realized that it was a far more complex topic than what we initially thought. ThereContinue reading “Open education as a Disruption”

Reflection week

Posted on November 2, 2020 by taylorz1

I’ve thought a lot about my earlier blog posts and I think I’ve made some progress in class understanding. In my second and third posts I said something to the effect of “I have no idea what’s going on.” Now I think I come to an understanding about the topic around the time the topicContinue reading “Reflection week”

Openness in teaching as it relates to my subject material

Posted on November 2, 2020 by taylorz1

In my field, for both teaching and research, there is significant computer code in the form of high-level scripting languages. Popular choices include, but are definitely not limited to, MATLAB, Python, and R. Even very specific, advanced software has a scripting option which allows you to explore a complex space through basically, a text boxContinue reading “Openness in teaching as it relates to my subject material”
