Practical Tools for Sharing Posted on May 17, 2021 by Finlay MacGregor Creative Commons Creative Commons licenses simplify and standardize the process of granting permission for others to use creative works. As a creator, this is useful for defining how you would like others to be able to use your work and enabling them to do so relatively easily. As someone looking to reuse the work of […]
Designing for a meaningful (5-day) online learning experience Posted on May 14, 2021 by Joanna Kedra Currently, I am planning an online 5-days intensive course for the summer school. This is not an emergency, ad hoc … Continue reading →
ONL211 – 5th and final! Posted on May 13, 2021 by Michail Galanakis Interesting post this could be! I mean we have no specific question as such, it can be more of a reflection or my learning journey through ONL211. I read a few posts by peers (I am supposed to) and realised that most take this reflection pretty seriously listing positive and negatives. The style vary but […]
Topic 5 – Lessons learnt and future practice Posted on May 12, 2021 by Laura Cox The learning experience from this course, and specifically the reflection on these topics, has made me think about the complexities, strengths and challenges of online networked learning in much more depth, as well as their related offline counterparts. What surprised me most was how much these topics were relevant for not only my pedagogical work,Continue reading “Topic 5 – Lessons learnt and future practice”
Design for online and blended learning Posted on May 11, 2021 by Avinash Dhital While reflecting on new teaching learning methods, in this post COVID-19 era, the focus and conversations mostly circles around online teaching and learning environments. An important factor to consider here, […]
Topic 4 – Blended Learning Posted on May 11, 2021 by Laura Cox Much like Topic 2, this one seems extra relevant in the current educational context. Over the last year, all of us have had to adapt to new ways of communicating, especially migrating online for meetings, lectures, and seminars. Problems that we haven’t had to think too much about before, such as connect issues, managing breakContinue reading “Topic 4 – Blended Learning”
Topic 3: Learning in communities Posted on May 10, 2021 by Nils Troselius The topic for this theme has been about learning in communities, networking and collaboration. It has been rewarding to reflect on the often complex and subtle processes underlying these issues. I think that we often in general take the networks we are engaged in for granted and probably are not aware of how the affect … Continue reading Topic 3: Learning in communities
Topic 3 – Learning in Communities Posted on May 10, 2021 by Laura Cox This was my turn to co-lead and I found collaboration/learning in communities to be a really interesting topic, both in the content and how collaboration actually played out. In the ONL context there were at least two aspects of collaboration for me: working together with my co-leader and working together in the group. I alsoContinue reading “Topic 3 – Learning in Communities”
The Future is Blended Posted on May 9, 2021 by KHO Su Yian While I like blended learning because the learning environment and tools can be expanded to accommodate different types of learners with different schedules, paces of learning and communication preferences, I personally do not enjoy hybrid classes. Having students simultaneously in the classroom and online in my experience is a sub-optimal situation, as the teacher isContinue reading “The Future is Blended”
ONL211-TOPIC 4 Posted on May 8, 2021 by Michail Galanakis blended and online teaching and learning and design frameworks Hi! In our PBL#6 group work I looked into the asynchronous activities in blended learning. My very brief and rather superficial review of the literature suggested by ONL211 yielded the text you may browse below, titled “Elaboration”. The text is a review and light reflexion of […]
Topic 2 – Open Learning – Sharing and Openness Posted on May 7, 2021 by Laura Cox As the world becomes ever more connected and as COVID continually pushes us online, this topic seemed very important to explore. I have been interested in open online courses for several years and have my fair share of experience participating in MOOCs on platforms like FutureLearn, however coming at it from the planning side wasContinue reading “Topic 2 – Open Learning – Sharing and Openness”
To Work with Others, Know Thyself Posted on May 6, 2021 by KHO Su Yian In some ways, especially technology-wise, this is a golden age for collaborative learning. Top tier universities such as MIT and Stanford offer course materials for free, internet access is prevalent worldwide (although stability and speed still vary a great deal between countries), and free collaborative tools online such as Padlet, Wakelet, Google Docs and othersContinue reading “To Work with Others, Know Thyself”
