A course, a community, an approach
Good evening, fellow ONL-ers! Since I finished my workshop early this afternoon, it’s looking like a double-post day! Since there’s not really reading material for this last unit…
Happy Monday, ONLers! This week’s post is meant to tie in with Topic 4, where we discussed plans for improving online and blended learning. Unfortunately (or fortunately), it’s…
I started this week with a discussion in my group about the future of education. How would education look like in 10-20 years? I was excited to listen to my group since they are more involved in innovation and technology than me. We talk about a dream of open and accessible education where you could […]
Many of my colleagues believe that blended learning is difficult, as it is had to design course content that provides the best opportunities for both only and face to face learning. I have entered this reflection with the aim to explore the possibilities. Step 1: Make a self-assessment I started by filling the “Community of […]
Before I started ONL, I briefly read about the shift in learning approaches — from behaviourism (which was how we were taught growing up) to social constructivism.

The combination of in-person and online instruction has become a key trend in higher education, altering how both students and teachers learn. The conventional distinctions between actual classrooms and virtual learning settings are becoming more hazy as technological developments continue to change the face of education. Blended learning is a cutting-edge method that blends the […]
This is my last reflection during this ONL course. The times has really flown away, can’t understand that it is already over and completed. But completed isn’t possible when it comes to this subject. Not only due to my job as an university lecturer, constantly producing learning activities and courses. But also due to the […]
The ONL 231 session comes to an end with this topic. In fact, the end is in terms of scheduled meetings, working on specific topics for two weeks, etc. But I believe that my experiences from this course will be reminding this course time and again throughout my academic career ahead. However, I have three […]
