Learning in “Communities”?

Posted on April 24, 2020 by ivan kwek

Trying to work collaboratively on the topic of collaborative learning is like acting in a show about us acting in a show. I do not mean to get into a metaphysical discussion except to say how the experience doubles up both as a practice and a reflection on the subject matter. What it gives usContinue reading “Learning in “Communities”?”

To team-teach or not to Team-teach that is the question….

Posted on April 24, 2020 by sppsak

Some years back my institution embarked on what seemed like a radical experiment (it wasn’t that radical actually but it appeared so at the time)😊. They wanted to create a truly multi-disciplinary module that would have three teachers, team-up, to provide a multi-disciplinary take on a wicked real- world problem. This sounded like an excellentContinue reading “To team-teach or not to Team-teach that is the question….”

ONL 201 – Topic 3: Learning in communities

Posted on April 23, 2020 by Sebastian Gabrielsson

Dealing with this topic I have come to realize how narrow my understanding of collaborative learning has been. Collaboration in e-learning is not confined to the boundaries of the course. Instead, using social media each student can connect with and … Läs mer →

Collaborative learning – dream or nightmare?

Posted on April 23, 2020 by Lars Lindhagen

Group work. I guess the very phrase stirs emotions in most people. Perhaps memories of embarrassed pupils reading from papers with text copied verbatim from a textbook, while staring at their feet. What is the reason for such seemingly pointless activities? Is there any secret wisdom that only teachers possess? Maybe. From the teacher’s perspective,Continue reading “Collaborative learning – dream or nightmare?”

Learning in communities – networked collaborative learning

Posted on April 23, 2020 by Carys Egan-Wyer

“Learning […] is an active process of creating connections and seeing patterns of information within and between these connections” (Oddone, 2019) Collaborative learning takes place when groups of learner work together to solve a problem, complete a task, or create a product (Gerlach 1994). It is contrasted with cooperative group work, in which learners tend toContinue reading “Learning in communities – networked collaborative learning”

Why everyone hates group work (and what do about it).

Posted on April 23, 2020 by joelmartinsson

“This assignment will be a group work”. When I as a bachelor and master student heard the teacher utter this sentence, two things immediately came to my mind: (1) not again and (2) if I can choose my own group member, who should I choose? Everyone of course reacts in different way to the prospectFortsätt läsa “Why everyone hates group work (and what do about it).”

What is a MOOC?

Posted on April 22, 2020 by mehrdad

MOOC stands for Massive Open Online Course, and if you search the web for how a MOOC should be designed and what can be considered a MOOC you get many different opinions and definitions. Apparently, it is easy to confuse and consider many forms of online teaching with the concept of MOOC (e..g, to sound … Continue reading What is a MOOC? →

Posted on April 22, 2020 by upeksha

Education in current context can be redefined as sharing knowledge among enthusiastic, potential learners. Being open in educational materials and creating access for everyone has become a huge debate in current academia. Can we make everything open when it comes to education? This question needs to be answered in many ways. “Openness” cannot be createdContinue reading “Topic 2 – Openness in Education”

Collaborative learning – when interaction with other’s thoughts is at its bestMy journey through ONL keeps providing lots of food for thought about many different issues. Reflecting on my own ways of learning and on how our PBL-group is evolving is an …

Topic 2: sharing and openness

Posted on April 21, 2020 by camtos

Our angle on the topic of openness was: how does it relate to equality? The main goal of open online education is accessibility, and through that accessibility, equal resources granted for all. However, access alone does not guarantee equality: not only due to literacy or to the availability of network connections, but due to the… Continue reading Topic 2: sharing and openness

Topic 1: online participation and digital literacies

Posted on April 21, 2020 by camtos

It’s quite appropriate that the first topic that we face is focused on online participation, because the main challenge of the first week is exactly to understand one’s own degree and mode of participation. In my case, I was quite unable to follow the many platforms on which we were expected to communicate, which led… Continue reading Topic 1: online participation and digital literacies
