ONL221 Topic 2: Open Learning – Sharing and Openness

Posted on April 25, 2022 by Shelley Guyton

This has been a fascinating topic. In our PBL group discussions, we have considered open learning as a concept or aspiration or even fear from multiple perspectives–institutional, teacher, learner and more. We also emphasized the directions in conversations on open learning that split into more pedagogical focus and more social justice oriented focus. While my […]

Reflections on Topic 3: Learning in Communities – what is true "collaboration"?

Posted on April 25, 2022April 25, 2022 by Swati jhaveri

If I had to describe my approach to ‘collaborative’ learning prior to embarking on this ONL course, I would say that I had a ‘divide and conquer’ approach. I would prioritise efficiency and the need to get the task done over the broader benefits to be …

Striving for collaborative community in Science (reflection on topic 3)

Posted on April 24, 2022April 24, 2022 by Anja Schmidt-Christensen

In this weeks topic 3 we have been trying to understand values and differences of learning networks and communities. I like the simple explanation of Henry Mintzberg when he says: ”If you want to understand the difference between a network…

Topic 3: Learning in communities – networked collaborative learning

Posted on April 24, 2022 by Michael Försth

This topic is, to me, the absolutely most interesting so far in this great course. One week into the topic I realize that we, the teachers, or at least me, take a lot for granted when we initiate collaboration assignments for our students, that is group works. This might be a mistake and I’m very […]

Topic 1: Online participation and digital literacies

Posted on April 22, 2022 by Anna Småros

Who in the teaching community has not heard of the theory of “digital natives” and “digital immigrants”, as proposed by Marc Prensky (2001)? Personally, I must admit that I had not read the original essay by Prensky. I had come into contact with Prensky’s concepts, however, especially that of digital natives, as his ideas had … Continue reading Topic 1: Online participation and digital literacies

Topic 1: Online participation and digital literacies (14th – 27th Mar)

Posted on April 22, 2022 by Flavia Narita

The first topic of ONL linked online participation with digital identity. David White’s webinar on visitors and residents was very interesting and interactive! I had already given up using Prensky’s terminology of digital ‘natives’ and ‘immigrants’ because I had seen both young people not being ‘fluent’ with technology and older people managing it very well. […]

Topic 2: Open Learning – Sharing and Openness (28th March – 10th April)

Posted on April 22, 2022 by Flavia Narita

Selen and I were the moderators of topic 2, so we had a quick meeting with Erik and David on Monday morning (8:00 am, Brazilian time). The clocks had changed in Europe for the summertime, so we are now 5 hours apart! Attending the webinars, then, became more difficult for me. I watched Maha Bali’s […]

Open education is scary

Posted on April 21, 2022 by Alexander Vestin

The second week of the ONL course was quite interesting, both the scenario and all the discussions within the PBL group and other PBL groups. My PBL group talked a lot about open education as a tool for sharing documents between teachers but also to te…

Open learning: Reflections on topic 2

Posted on April 21, 2022May 13, 2022 by Leysan Storie

The second topic in the course focused on sharing and openness. The idea of sharing materials and ideas can be scary. I tend to worry about where the recordings of my lectures may end up for example. I guess things that we know little about are es…

Posted on April 20, 2022April 20, 2022 by Osman

First of all, I would like to state, for the record, that I am a key believer of sharing educational materials for the benefit of students. However, I feel that there are still challenges that need to be addressed with regards to open learning. As ment…

Openness Ltd.

Posted on April 20, 2022 by Luciana Provenzano

Among the multiple interpretations of openness, such as generosity, free access, availability, given during Maha Bali’s webinar [5], I like very much openness as “the will to share” and the fact that “the will to share” is independent if it occurs online or face-to-face. I like this definition because teaching specifically is, in my opinion, […]
