Good to see you here! You created your user account and you are able to explore the site and receive emails from us. This post is just a brief guide to get started quickly as institutional or open learner. In the confirmation mail which you have just received, you will find a link to this page for future reference.
ONL191 community space
In the ONL191 community space all the course activities, discussions and sharing will take place. Everyone participating in the course will belong to the main ONL191 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: #ONL191 (see the menu “ONL community” at the top right corner).
Please try out the menues and start to familiarise your self. 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 neccessarily 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.
