ONL192 community space

In the ONL192 community space all the PBL group course activities, discussions and sharing will take place. Only institutional and open learners of the course will belong to the main ONL192 community. Here you can share and discuss with all course participants as well as the course team. 

You should at the moment have access to one group: #ONL192

Below is what you can do to get started!!

Google Drive

Apart from your user account on opennetworkedlearning.se, you will need to have a Google account in order to access Google Drive. The Google drive folder of your PBL group will be integrated within each group space. If you have a @gmail.com email address, you also have a Google account and you are set. If you do not, please read on. The Google account does not necessarily have to be a @gmail.com e-mail address, though. You can create a google account and access Google Drive without a @gmail.com e-mail address. If you do not have a Google account sign up for one here.

Your blog

The course reflections are an important part of your learning process. In ONL you will publish your reflections on each topic on your own blog. Five blog posts are required if you want to receive a certificate for the course. Instructions and suggestions for this will be posted for every topic.

• Set up your own blog to be used for your reflections during the course. Try to add a personal touch to your blog with photos and design elements.
• Read more about blogging and how to get started
• Connect your blog to the ONL course homepage
