After these two weeks, I know one thing for sure – I’m not a good moderator of online meetings ? It was a stressful experience, I felt that I was asking the wrong questions to develop the discussion. however, I liked the check-in and check-out procedure. There was a lot of laughter ?

Coming back to the design of online and blended learning – even though I am a beginner in this topic, I have the impression that, compared to my colleagues at the University, I am trying to develop in this direction. I participate in webinars, learn about new digital tools in education, and come up with new activities involving my students.

At the time of the first lockdown due to the COVID-19 pandemic, I did not know how to go about teaching online. At first, the quality of teaching was not the best. Over time, I started to learn about different methods and techniques of online education and it was getting better and better. But just because I knew them, that didn’t mean my students were also fluent in digital learning tools. I started testing some activities with my students, explaining how something works and encouraging them to use it. At that time, it was very important to support students, maintain constant contact with them and create the possibility of asking questions not only during classes. My students could write e-mails to me, contact me via chat on MS Teams, Messanger on FB.

During the ONL course, I got to know some new methods and tools that I could use in online education. We also talked a lot, discussed in smaller groups in breakout rooms. It was interesting to see a given problem from different perspectives. I will definitely use this method in my professional work.

I’ve also learned that designing learning is a process, you can’t do it overnight. A good project takes time, proper thinking and preparation. This means that I will have a lot of sleepless nights in developing and improving my classes 🙂
