My expectations for this course (and some thoughts for the weekend).
Soon this week will be over and the “Getting started” week of ONL 211 will come to an end. This week I have started the blog, explored the ONL community space, read the course information and the most of all participants’ greetings and hellos. I have also tried to reflect on what my personal aims for attending this course are, and what I hope to develop during this spring.
Hopefully I will develop a better understanding of both the challenges and the possibilities of online education, and explore (more) ways to collaborate and communicate online. This week has been challenging in the way that all of this, the community and the blog is new to me. I can totally relate this to what some of my students went through the challenging days of March last year, when they were “thrown” into the online environment from one day to the other.- As they did, I will surely survive this experience better off.
Today the sun is shining and the weather forecast says the weekend will be sunny here in Karlstad. As for all of us, the time in isolation from family and friends during the winter have been hard for me, so I really look forward to meet my best friends for an outside taco-dinner this evening. Hopefully there will also be time for some nice walks (or maybe a run) in the sun during the weekend.
See you on Monday! Best,
