So, now the course has had it’s “take-off” and we are in the air. I have met parts of my PBL-group and our collaboration has begun ?, really happy about that. I’m now trying to begin to unravel the mysteries of the ONL.
I have decided to try the student’s perspective for my blog, or rather the learners perspective. With that I mean that learner is someone more active and responsible who is supported by a facilitator rather than a student with teachers who “runs the show”.
As a learner I think about what is important to me in the start and I come up with three questions, a.k.a. my fears.
- Is this really something for me? – have I understood the point of the course and is it worthwhile
- What am I supposed to do? – what are the tasks in the course and will they be manageable
- Who are the people I will work with? – are we going to collaborate well or more important will I like them and will they like me
So far so good, I feel good about the course, the tasks and my colleges, hope to meet the rest tomorrow.
I let you know a secret. The key to my feeling good is positive response in our second meeting.
This time I will not include references but the reedings about PBL has started me thinking….
