Heikki and a little bit more about the work with Topic 1
Topic 1 dealt with digital literacies. A whole bunch of new, at least new for me, concepts were introduced and explained. The sense of being totally lost did diminish gradually, but did not disappear. This brave new world seems to be much more complicated as it seemed to be previously.

First blog-text related to PBL Group 3 and Topic 1
Dear readers, we all started the ONL201 -course with high hopes and expectations that something new would be coming. Well, this really happened. But most probably not in the way that we expected.
