Leap of faith?

Posted on December 10, 2019 by Marja Elonheimo

Our Open Networked Learning (ONL) course has come to an end and it is time to summarize the journey. Now it feels like we just got started and found our way as a group how to operate on it and I got used to the rhythm of the course. Earlier I used to be quiteContinue reading “Leap of faith?”

Lessons learnt – future practice

Posted on December 10, 2019 by Leonardo Espinosa

(Credit: World Bank) Grande finale: Reflections on the ONL experience The Open Networked Learning 192 is over. The experience has been marvelous and the Wednesdays (and in some cases Fridays) are not going to be the same without the weekly online discussions with my group, the PBL14. Through this experience, I have learned a lotContinue reading “Lessons learnt – future practice”

Lessons learnt – reflection of ONL192

Posted on December 9, 2019 by Jonas Tana

The most important things I have learned during ONL course are related to me as a learner, working in groups, and studying online courses. Of course, many new aspects of openness have also emerged, such as the quite difficult concepts of digital visitors/residents, open education and blended learning. But as said, more has been related … Continue reading Lessons learnt – reflection of ONL192 →

Lessons learnt – future practice

Posted on December 9, 2019 by David Bevington

“What we call the beginning is often the end. And to make an end is to make a beginning. The end is where we start from.”This quote is from T.S. Eliot’s Little Gidding, the last of his Four Quartets, poems I read at school and certain phrases have stuck with me. In fact, in consideringContinue reading “Lessons learnt – future practice”

Are ARGs PLNs?

Posted on December 9, 2019 by Leo Hatvani

Following the title of this blog in the discussion of edutainment (educational entertainment) versus education, we should look at an interesting phenomenon that has been around for quite a few years now. Alternate Reality Games (ARG) are akin to treasure hunts that can happen by leaving a series of connected clues in the physical or … Continue reading Are ARGs PLNs? →

Design for online and blended learning

Posted on December 9, 2019 by David Bevington

Like all the other ONL topics, this one was designed to make us think. The focus of design for online and blended learning was not on the tools and technologies that could be used to design, but on the pedagogical aspects of frameworks and models that should be considered when creating good blended and online learningContinue reading “Design for online and blended learning”

The end of the road…or just the beginning?

Posted on December 9, 2019 by Susan Gamache

To me the most important part on the ONL course has been the process itself. I have been familiar with PBL on a theoretical level for a long time, but I haven’t really had any opportunities to engage in an actual PBL process myself before this course. The course was really time consuming and I […]

Topic 4: Design for online and blended learning

Posted on December 9, 2019 by Jonas Tana

The theme for week 4 was to shift the focus from participant to supporter/facilitator of an online course. On paper this should have been easy, as the three first topics set the base for understanding online learning from a participant perspective. However easy on paper, I found it to be quite the opposite, partly because … Continue reading Topic 4: Design for online and blended learning →

Topic 3: Connectivism and online collaborative learning

Posted on December 9, 2019 by Jonas Tana

A few years ago I participated in a conference in Stockholm. As I registered for the event, the instructions also said to follow the hashtag of the conference. I remember being sucked in to the discussions that went on in the “digital backstage” on Twitter as presentations where given. Much of the content was related … Continue reading Topic 3: Connectivism and online collaborative learning →
