“…so leave your message and I’ll call you back […] You’re intruding on what’s mine And you’re taking up my time Don’t have the courage inside me To tell you please let me be Communication, a telephonic invasion I’m planning my escape…” In 1995, Gwen Stefani crooned these lines, part of the song “Spiderwebs” allegedly […]

For good pedagogical reasons, the ONL222 course is a forum which welcomes, fosters, and practices openness. Higher education institutions increasingly often emphasize the benefits of openness[1], with digital open resources and practices contributing to an increasing range of pedagogical possibilities.

Analysis of Scenario 1 My first approach to analysing a scenario is to identify keywords which stand out in the description. Apparently, the learner described in scenario 1 is feeling excitement, yet anticipates challenges due to little experience in an online learning environment.
