Posted on October 12, 2019 by Saad Mubeen

Taking an interactive online course can be challenging and may feel overwhelming to a person who is used to traditional on-campus courses. In this case the person is suddenly exposed to many challenges in getting started with the learning activity, especially to get familiar with and use digital tools and platforms “the beasts”. This blogpost […]

Topic 1: Online Participation and Digital Literacies

Posted on October 11, 2019 by Jamie Murugan

It was an interesting topic with multiple facets that I had not even began to consider. Before embarking on this course, I did not feel insecure about having a digital identity, in fact I viewed the digital identity as a self-promotional branding tool, that would make me more accessible to students and more visible to… Continue reading Topic 1: Online Participation and Digital Literacies

Digital literacy

Posted on October 11, 2019 by Peter Fogel

I have this 530 pages book from 1964 called Manners (Berkling, L. A. Et al). If you ever in a social situation feel insecure, you can consult this book and you will learn all about the right manner in appearance, communication, behaviour etc. There is a chapter on how to use the telephone, where you […]

Topic 1 – online participation and digital literacies

Posted on October 11, 2019 by Anna-Karin Welmer

The first topics of the ONL course were online participation and digital literacies. The topic stared off with a webinar by David White and Jörg Paregis. Before the webinar, we were asked to look at David White’s videos on the concept of visitors and residents in the online world. An essential part of David White’s […]

My digital journey: past, present and future

Posted on October 11, 2019 by Susan Gamache

My fellow teachers have often asked me why I am so keen on designing and teaching online courses. To me it’s about flexibility, access, inclusion and 21st century working life skills. After all, digitalization is what allowed me to complete my master’s degree fully online while having a full time lecturer position at the university, […]

Cyber me

Posted on October 11, 2019 by Marja Elonheimo

In our ONL group, we have discussed a lot about the mutual feeling we seem to have: none of us is really comfortable with writing blogs or sharing personal thoughts or ideas with the unknown audience of the cyber world. We started to think that what is behind that uncomfortable feeling and how could we […]

Blogging: What can be demanded of teachers and students?

Posted on October 11, 2019 by Elisabeth Rolf

When it comes to digital technology, we are in many ways ‘swimming in water’. We cannot see the components that constitute the water (chemistry), how it is related to environmental issues (biology), who has access to it and who has not (economy) et cetera. Instead, we tend to focus on different ways to survive in […]

Digital distraction in class

Posted on October 11, 2019 by Patrik Holm

When investigating Topic 1 in the ONL-course I stumbled upon a problem I’ve been thinking about in the classroom. The problem of students being tempted to use their electronic devices for off-topic activities and thus draw attention from the learning activity at hand. I found an article by Neiterman and Zaza (2019) where they investigate […]

My digital identity

Posted on October 11, 2019 by Karin Bergman

The topic for the last two weeks has been online participation and digital literacies. I really like the idea that we should talk about digital literacies in plural because there are so many tools and you can be fluent in one and not in another. We have talked a lot about David White’s (see e.g. […]
