Cooperation vs Collaboration: Spot the difference

Posted on April 18, 2019 by Hafizah Osman

It has been whirlwind of activities for me on the professional, and personal front over the past month or so, making it a lot more challenging for me to keep up with my ONL work. But with the support of my group members and facilitators, I kept at it and I am where I am now, thankfully. Huge thanks to Elaine and David for the …

Today, me and my colleague Carolina Camén are invited by our Graduate student association to give some tips on teaching as a PhD student. Rather difficult task to summarize our experiences in 30 minutes.

Learning in communities – networked collaborative learning

Posted on April 17, 2019 by Leah Okenwa Emegwa

I have attended several courses in teaching and learning in higher education and many of them are often designed as learning communities or learning networks. I love the way that knowledge is not only shared but also co-created in personal learning networks (PLN). In the task for week 3, i think we got confused in … Continue reading Learning in communities – networked collaborative learning

Learning in communities

Posted on April 17, 2019 by Shushentha Naidoo

“Access to education – should mean access to a rich learning environments that provides opportunity for interaction and connectedness” (Brindley, Walti & Blaschke, 2009). I think this quote stands strong, as the concept of social learning comes into play, creating collaborate environments. Grouping and engaging with others creates a connection of learning and experiences, and … Continue reading Learning in communities →

Reflections on open learning – sharing and openness

Posted on April 17, 2019 by Leah Okenwa Emegwa

Openness in learning creates an opportunity for flexible learning and lifelong learning as materials are readily available and mostly at no cost. The need for good communication skills (written or verbal) is thus increasingly emphasized (Bates, 2015). Openness in education has good implications for sustainable development especially as materials become accessible even in remote places. … Continue reading Reflections on open learning – sharing and openness

ONL: chances and challenges 2019-04-12 21:05:30

Posted on April 12, 2019 by Katarzyna Bobrowicz

Collaboration is tricky; I believe that good collaboration is a thousand times better than working individually, bad bad collaboration is ten thousand times worse. When I feel that my collaborators put less effort than I do, I quickly become frustrated. Going into Topic 3, I felt that a majority of provided materials summed up to … Continue reading →

Learning in communities – networked collaborative learning

Posted on April 12, 2019 by Ana Maria Barral

Topic 3 of the ONL191 course was difficult. For a number of personal circumstances (myself included) only a few could participate in each synchronous lesson. The ones I participated in included interesting and thought provoking discussions. Two major issues came together, the collaborative and the online aspect of learning. How to make them work at […]

I will challenge myself to summarize 6 years of leading several externally financed course development projects at Karlstad University, in which we developed a dozen or so open […]

Open or Not? Ask me again in a few years …

Posted on April 11, 2019 by Hafizah Osman

I’ve always thought of myself as a fairly open person. I’m open to new experiences, learning new things, and exploring new ideas. That said, I am also mindful of being too open – especially when it comes to sharing my personal life and sharing my private thoughts about contentious issues. Don’t get me wrong, I am all for open and intelligent debate, but these must …
