Topic 2: Open Learning – Sharing and Openness (28th March – 10th April)

Posted on April 22, 2022 by Flavia Narita

Selen and I were the moderators of topic 2, so we had a quick meeting with Erik and David on Monday morning (8:00 am, Brazilian time). The clocks had changed in Europe for the summertime, so we are now 5 hours apart! Attending the webinars, then, became more difficult for me. I watched Maha Bali’s […]

Open education is scary

Posted on April 21, 2022 by Alexander Vestin

The second week of the ONL course was quite interesting, both the scenario and all the discussions within the PBL group and other PBL groups. My PBL group talked a lot about open education as a tool for sharing documents between teachers but also to te…

The second topic in the course focused on sharing and openness. The idea of sharing materials and ideas can be scary. I tend to worry about where the recordings of my lectures may end up for example. I guess things that we know little about are es…

First of all, I would like to state, for the record, that I am a key believer of sharing educational materials for the benefit of students. However, I feel that there are still challenges that need to be addressed with regards to open learning. As ment…

Openness Ltd.

Among the multiple interpretations of openness, such as generosity, free access, availability, given during Maha Bali’s webinar [5], I like very much openness as “the will to share” and the fact that “the will to share” is independent if it occurs online or face-to-face. I like this definition because teaching specifically is, in my opinion, […]

My reflections on opening the education material in a course

Posted on April 19, 2022 by Eduard Enoiu

I reflected quite a lot on this topic, especially when thinking of the courses I teach. My main thoughts here relate to opening educational resources with other teachers and students. The idea is to help teachers get easy access to high-quality material. In the end the main goal is to reduce workload for teachers and […]

To be honest, when I first read the topic headline I started preparing a coffee and got ready to share my life story, but I soon learned that wasn’t it…Or was it? Little did i know that openness and sharing was already a big part of my life. From my …

Reflection on Topic 1: Online participation & digital literacies

Posted on April 17, 2022 by Caihong Xu

Before the webinar by David White, I watched David’s short video on the concept of Visitors and Residents on YouTube. This seven minutes’ video briefly walked me through the notion of “digital natives” v.s. “digital immigrants” put forward by Pensky (2001), arguments for why this metaphor is flawed and David’s alternative proposal of “Visitors & […]

Sharing and openness is with no doubt obvious feature of open learning. However for many of us it seems really difficult to come to terms with this fact.
