We’ve kicked off our problem-based learning (PBL) group, or at least the first batch of us, and we are an interesting bunch of people across the globe and across disciplines, from zoology to engineering, health economics and IT… It will be fun to learn from one another!

We didn’t “define” a shared problem but online learning and distance education are our given shared problems for now. And they are problems! It’s funny how many issues we can have in our own meetings with all the technology Fine, we are not digital natives, but it’s not as if every student was, either.

I sincerely struggle with the idea of an open learning blog. There is much to be had from learning diaries in terms of reflective learning, but does it really need to be “open for the world to see”? Beware of sugar-coating the experience

In the meantime, let’s prepare for PBL!
