Digital Visitor or Just Silent?

Posted on by Leo Hatvani

During the OpenNetworkedLearning course we have been examining the continuum between the digital visitors and residents supplemented by the continuum of personal versus institutional use of different technologies. In this text I will take a look at one of the most commonly discussed aspects: social media platforms. My impression is that some of the leading motivations … Continue reading Digital Visitor or Just Silent? →

Online participation

My first time to use internet can be dated back to 1999. At that time I first got an email account and sent emails to my pen-friends in the US. Slowly I learned to use internet to look for information and other social media. I was very keen om learning new staff online until about […]

Exploring Digital Literacy

Posted on by Michelle Coates

Topic 1 focused on digital literacy. I am still trying to figure out how this blog is supposed to work, and connectivity can be problematic at times.

Cyber me

Posted on by Marja Elonheimo

In our ONL group, we have discussed a lot about the mutual feeling we seem to have: none of us is really comfortable with writing blogs or sharing personal thoughts or ideas with the unknown audience of the cyber world.

Posted on by Patrik Holm

When investigating Topic 1 in the ONL-course I stumbled upon a problem I’ve been thinking about in the classroom. The problem of students being tempted to use their electronic devices for off-topic activities and thus draw attention from the learning activity at hand.
