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!

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”

Sharing and openness Posted on May 1, 2021 by Juan Rocha One of the features that attracts me to open online learning is the democratisation of knowledge. Science and scientific knowledge is one of the main achievements that makes us humans: from the invention of fire to the development of vaccines. Knowledg…
Topic 1 – Online participation and digital literacies Posted on April 26, 2021 by Laura Cox For me, this was a great place to start the course – both in terms of the wider ONL content and the group work on this topic. Our understanding of digital tools and our participation in digital spaces forms the foundation of our ability to use these effectively. I was familiar with the concepts of digitalContinue reading “Topic 1 – Online participation and digital literacies”
