It has been an interesting course on many levels. Primarily I think the course is interesting because it puts the finger on the most important thing in modern education today, changing paradigm. As I have been writing about in earlier posts, I have some experience about the problem of today’s education (also some experience aboutFortsätt läsa “Summarizing the course”
Life is full of meetings with new people and it always feels a bit sad when you split up and continue in life. It is amazing how technology makes it possible to form distributed groups and will I honestly miss my PBL group and our weekly meetings. During out last week we were asked to […]
Going back to my reflection during the connection week “Where am I going?”, I thought it could be interesting to figure out if I actually found the way I ought to go? My most definite answer to the question above is “it depends”. Our students get very frustrated when our reply to their question(s) mostContinue reading “Did I find the way I ought to go…?”
The type of reflections that was required for the ONL course have been quite different from my disorganized and ad-hoc reflections that I normally make. In ordinary cases, I constantly reflect on my teaching and development of courses. When I talk to colleagues, when I watch documentaries, scroll on social media or before, during and […]

Participating in ONL was not what I thought it was going to be. I did not have allot of information before and entered with an open mind. One reflection is that everyone in my group in our recent meetings when we talk about what we learnt had different different perspectives on there leranign journy.

It is almost three months since I started my ONL-journey, and I will try to summarize this experience with three statements: Processing problems in group are effective for the learning – In this course I have realized h…
Whenever I come to the end of something, I like to reflect on how I will take the experience into the next beginning. The ONL212 content has allowed me to challenge my thinking on face-to-face and online learning and as we move into a new future in learning it is important to consider a fewContinue reading “Topic 5: Into the Future”
ONL212 has come to an end! What I have really appreciated about ONL is that this course addresses questions beyond digitalization and the use of digital tools. I found myself engaging with more fundamental questions of pedagogy: Who am I as an educator? What are my own ideas about learning? How can I ensure that … Continue reading “Open Networked Learning Course (ONL212), Topic 5: Lessons learnt – future practice”
