About openness

Posted on May 27, 2021 by Sanna Teerenhovi

When I signed up for this ONL211 course, I have to admit that I did not think about the word ‘open’ in the course’s name.

Topic 4: Design for online and blended learning

Posted on May 25, 2021 by Nadia Caldes

Here come my thoughts as part of ONL211 topic 4. I must confess: Topic 4 was not my favorite topic. Firstly, I was abroad during those two weeks and could neither deal with the contents in depth nor – due to problems with the internet connection – participate in all group meetings. As I write this reflectiveContinue reading “Topic 4: Design for online and blended learning”
