Hi there! On Wednesday, we had the lastTweetchat of #ONL212 with Professor Martin Weller on the topic of learning design for blended and online learning. The event was a great success with plenty of participants and more than 100 tweets. The discussion continued even after the scheduled hour, something we particularly like! This is such […]

It was my turn to be a co-leader for this topic and so I want to take a moment to reflect on the experience of being in a problem-based learning group. In short, what I loved about the PBL group experience was: Sense of community within group The single most important activity for building a […]
Currently, I am planning an online 5-days intensive course for the summer school. This is not an emergency, ad hoc …
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, […]
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”

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”
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 […]

At our university, IContinue reading “Do we need to think differently? (ONL202 Topic 4)”
Community of inquiry (Col) helps in designing and delivering online learning groups of individuals are involved in a process of empirical or conceptual inquiry into problematic situations. Col highlights three presences – the social presence, cognitive presence and teaching presence – which has been used a lot in the online learning context where theContinue reading “Community of Inquiry and Online Learning”
The forth topic in the ONL202 course, “Design for online and blended learning” has probably been the most comprehensive topic in the whole course and it kind of connects all other topics. It has been a challenge, mainly because I could not dedicate as much time as I had wished for reading and thinking duringContinue reading “Design for online and blended learning – a challenge and a chance”
