Posted on April 8, 2022 by Susanna Fabricius

Openness is a noble word. This topic is indeed very actual not least due to the two years Covid-19 isolation. This is a very complex topic, we seem to relate to it through our own (cultural background) lenses. What are the motivators of being open? What about the quality of open education? These are matters […]

Open Learning – Sharing & Openness

Posted on April 8, 2022 by Melissa May

When the discussion around what “open” really means in an educational context, I found myself constantly renegotiating (and admittedly grappling) with my own understanding of it. Open education and Open Educational Resources (OER) to me have always (sort of) been synonymous with “free”. Right? In South Africa (SA), the concept of Open Access was only […]

Open Learning – Sharing, what does “open” actually mean?

Posted on April 8, 2022 by Susanne Quintes

Over the last two weeks we’ve worked on open education and the whole concept of openness. At times I’ve felt the more we talked about it, the more difficult it became to define what open education actually means. Maha Bali’s webinar actually really opened my eyes to the social justice point, the global issues when […]

Filter-bubbles and academics trying to make their voices heard

Posted on April 7, 2022 by Johan Högman

The first topic in the course focused on online participation and digital literacies, and with this first post I will reflect on my own relationship with digital media and online engagement. Digital media relates to both my research and my teachin…

Topic 1: Online participation and digital literacies

Posted on April 6, 2022 by Chun Ping Liu

It has been two weeks of exploring the topic of online participation and digital literacies with our PBL group members. Seems everybody has their own perspective on this. For me, the scenario exactly described myself when the pandemic first started. Well selected, ONL course creators. Not to mention the online lessons, I totally had no […]

Open Learning – sharing and openness
