Grande finale: Reflections on the ONL experience
The Open Networked Learning 192 is over. The experience has been marvelous and the Wednesdays (and in some cases Fridays) are not going to be the same without the weekly online discussions with my group, the PBL14. Through this experience, I have learned a lot by sharing and listening to all the different points of view, struggles and successes that each member of the group brought to our zoom meetings. As in our last meeting, somebody pointed out: “I’m gonna miss our discussions, they were a great way to think about something different to my daily routine”. I feel the same, nowadays I’m so busy with my daily tasks, that having the chance to open myself to reflection in a weekly bases, was like a breeze of fresh air that I really needed during this nordic winter.
I don’t want to extend myself too much, what I’ve learned during these weeks can be read in each blogpost. However, more importantly, I’d like to thank my group mates (in random order): Cristina, Karin, Kari, Gavin, Maria, Hafizah, Victoria for the nice times during the meetings and hopefully one day, we can meet again in real life.
PS: I noted that we are the ONL192 course and naively I thought, wow, there have been hundreds of ONL before. But then I check the official website https://www.opennetworkedlearning.se/ and then I saw that the next ONL is the ONL201. I found that they just listed each ONL course with the last two digits of the year and the first of the course, which is just 1 or 2. So if you take, for example, from the year 2010, you have that the ONL courses follow the series of numbers 101, 102, 111, 112, 121, …, 201. I got curious and after playing for some minutes I found that this series is just a standard ternary in which the last digit doesn’t include the zero. Then a set of all nm digits such as n = {10,11,12,…,20} and m={1,2}. I’m now just wondering what are the mathematical properties of these kinds of sets that are built using combinations of subsets of the natural numbers… Sorry, totally unrelated :), maybe I miss my weekly reflection with my PBL group.
