From constructivist to connectivist teaching and learning

Posted on October 26, 2020 by Martin Fougère

I have never believed in a purely ‘instructivist’ model of higher education for my courses, whereby the role of the teacher is only to ‘transfer knowledge down’ to the students (Crosslin, 2016). Instead, I largely subscribe to a constructivist approach to teaching and learning.

Openness and sharing are two important factors for online education and the first question that always should be the addressed is the “why” question. Why shall we go online? Why shall we be open and share? With this a starting point there are several aspects to reflect upon. Since I don’t have an academic/teaching background […]

Posted on October 26, 2020 by PARK Mihi

My first impression to ‘Open Education’ was rather sceptical, perhaps due to my personal perception of the word ‘Open Education’. Copy right issue and non-authorised sharing of materials were some of the past experiences in open education for me. However this time, I would like to learn more what ‘Open Education’ really means.
