This blog post describes my thoughts about topic four; design for online and blended learning. As written in my last blog post, designing meaningful assignments for online learning has been challenging in my department during the pandemic. This spring, we have been moving back to campus, with mixed feelings from teachers and students, many students […]
Reflection on topic 3: Learning in communities – networked collaborative learning.
This blog post will focus on the third topic of the ONL-course; Learning in communities – networked collaborative learning. I will use the experience from my PBL-group in this course and examples from our cooperation during topics one and two. First of all, I’m delighted to be a member of PBL11. Since our first meeting, […]
Reflection on topic 2: Open Learning – Sharing and Openness
This blog post will summarize my thoughts about topic two in this ONL-course; sharing and openness. I will describe my views on open education as they evolved from the group work in PBL 11. In the article by Catherine Cronin (2017), she uses the definition of open education as “resources, tools, and practices that employ […]
Topic 5: Lessons learnt – future practice
ONL allowed me to explore both familiar and less familiar topics regarding teaching while it also provided a chance to study and work the way we want students to. I believe that we are more likely to succeed if we have first-hand experience of the things that we are trying to implement and thus all … Continue reading Topic 5: Lessons learnt – future practice
Topic 4: Design for online and blended learning
One of the teacher’s primary roles is to be a designer of learning modules. All teachers plan their teaching, from single activities in everyday lesson plans to overarching course designs. The task of designing complex learning modules which encompass online, hybrid and collaborative learning should arguably be assigned to teacher teams rather than single teachers, … Continue reading Topic 4: Design for online and blended learning
Topic 3: Learning in communities – networked collaborative learning
Is there a recipe for making collaborative work a fruitful experience? The scenario for the third topic incited our group to embark on a journey where we explored this question. Being able to work well with others is commonly viewed as an important skill and while group work is by no means a novelty among … Continue reading Topic 3: Learning in communities – networked collaborative learning
What have I learned about Open Networked Learning?
During this course, I learned from my fellow students so much about open networked learning, blended learning and how to use digital tools in an effective way. As a teacher and researcher, tackling the challenges posed to software engineering and computer science requires the combination of both the traditional roles of researcher and teacher. And […]
A way forward towards practising the lessons learnt
Near the end of the ONL course, it appeared that I luckily had registered and participated in the course at the best time unwittingly. When I was thinking of enrolling on the course, I was curious to know how an… Continue Reading →
Support students in the blended and online environments? UnZoom!
In our group (PBL#3), much of our discussions for Topic 4 revolved around synchronous and asynchronous online learning activities, their benefits and challenges, and tools to implement them. Our discussions intrigued me to think deeper about the abrupt…
Topic 2: Open Learning – Sharing and Openness
In this post I would like to share my own thoughts and findings in the literature about and around some form of open learning. In principle, the open learning seems a rather effective format, which blends the best features of face-to-face and online le…
Thank you for a different course
For me this has been a different course with some very frustrating moments but also good learning. I feel that I have had some new ideas on how to build up an online learning study unit. Until now I have not built up a totally online course in its true meaning. There has been courses […]
Edi and Online&Blended Learning
My own experiences. In the last five years, I have started digitizing campus courses and developing new online courses to be exclusively given to industrial professionals. Working in this new setting involves a close interaction with students using digital tools and blended learning. Nowadays, teaching has evolved and teachers are adopting blended learning techniques throughout […]
