Lets face the fact. This course takes more time than you think and you should write your reflections straight after the topic ends. But lets have a try here now.

Topic 3 was about Learning in communities – networked collaborative learning. For me this was much about learning to understand the different meaning of communication, collaboration, cooperation and community. Four important words that you need to understand when you are talking about collaborative learning.

For our group I did a mind map to clarify the different words and what they mean.

This mind map was made base on the course articles. This also gave me a better understanding about the different words and that you need them when you are learning online and also when you doing collaboration online.

My group did a really good practice in collaboration when doing the presentation together. Our focus was on how the participant in a course will get a deeper learning. Collaboration online is possible and it is possible that everybody participates in the collaboration process you just need to trust the process and try. Collaboration is much more smoother if everybody can work together at the same time.
