My digital journey: past, present and future

Posted on by Susan Gamache

My fellow teachers have often asked me why I am so keen on designing and teaching online courses. To me it’s about flexibility, access, inclusion and 21st century working life skills. After all, digitalization is what allowed me to complete my master’s degree fully online while having a full time lecturer position at the university, […]

Cyber me

Posted on by Marja Elonheimo

In our ONL group, we have discussed a lot about the mutual feeling we seem to have: none of us is really comfortable with writing blogs or sharing personal thoughts or ideas with the unknown audience of the cyber world. We started to think that what is behind that uncomfortable feeling and how could we […]

Digital distraction in class

Posted on by Patrik Holm

When investigating Topic 1 in the ONL-course I stumbled upon a problem I’ve been thinking about in the classroom. The problem of students being tempted to use their electronic devices for off-topic activities and thus draw attention from the learning activity at hand. I found an article by Neiterman and Zaza (2019) where they investigate […]

My digital identity

Posted on by Karin Bergman

The topic for the last two weeks has been online participation and digital literacies.

Nonetheless, I gained insight to a new learning experience as well as an opportunity to connect with fellow participants from […]

Digital literacy? No, digital literacies!

Posted on by Christiane Schnabel

I could immediately relate to the idea that digital literacies must be plural or that digital literacy has many dimensions. And, again, I was very impressed by the webinar with so many participants. Wow. Applying David White’s concept of a continuum between visitor/resident mode and personal/institutional use I yield a trend of a diagonal from […]

Boundaries & engagement

Posted on by Heli Dahlin

Dear reader, It is almost a norm today to be digitally literate, or, at least, to aspire to be such. This is my view of the matter, at least, and I cannot seem to decide whether for me it is a dystopian view and a destructive norm to be resisted, or simply a natural consequence […]
