Topic 5: Lessons learnt – future practice

  This course has been a very rich and valuable experience, that I wasn’t really expecting. Our group meetings, with very nice people from different backgrounds and cultures (Mirna, Cath, Musa, Torkel, Haleluya, Antonio, Wallace…), the subjects we studied, the PBL and fish model, the texts we read and the documents our group produced gave

Topic 4: Design for online and blended learning

In our group, PBL 6, we considered the use of AI in teaching & learning, focusing on different questions such as: How can we ensure ethical use of AI in an online space / online classroom? What is the role of AI in the future (in teaching)? What are the IP implications related AI outputs,

The ONL Experience: Endless Possibilities!

Participating in the ONL course has been a transformative experience, especially in redefining how I perceive learning, collaboration, and teaching in digital spaces. One of the most valuable insights I’ve gained is the *possibility of solving problems asynchronously with ease*. In traditional settings, problem-solving often depends on synchronous interactions—being physically or virtually present at the

Reflections on designing online courses for blended learning: What should learning assessments look like in this AI era?

During my reflections on designing online courses for blended learning, I lighted on this piece in the University World News (Fataar 2025) which is spot on the question, “What should learning assessments look like in this AI era”? Dissecting what learning assessments should look like in this AI era, it advocates for a design-based pedagogy.

Topic 4 Reflection!!!

Exploring Topic 4 has deepened my appreciation for the strategic thinking required to create meaningful online and blended learning experiences. As an educator, I have always valued in-person interaction, but this topic challenged me to think beyond traditional methods and embrace digital tools more intentionally. I was particularly inspired by the principles of constructive alignment

Reflection on Topic 3: Learning in Communities – Networked Collaborative Learning

Over the past few weeks, our PBL group’s engagement with Topic 3 has brought into focus both the potential and the challenges of fostering genuine collaboration in learning communities. The scenario posed a familiar issue: students often equate collaboration with task distribution rather than a process of shared thinking and growth. My experience reflected this

ONL Topic 3: Learning in communities – networked collaborative learning

Really recognizing the value of becoming part of a learning community and experience the benefits of social learning is not always something you think about when you engage in studies. Or an aspect that as a teacher you will consider when having new students starting a course. But there are occasions in my classes when

Reflections Open Learning Sharing and Openness

Reflecting on our work for Topic 2 as part of PBL05, I am filled with pride and appreciation for the journey we’ve taken as a team. The interactive presentation we created using Canva is not just a product of effort, it’s a vibrant representation of our collaboration, creativity, and shared commitment to learning. Each team

ONL Topic 2 : sharing

I’m often in a position where I must share my lessons with my colleagues. There is often a rotation within our language department, which means that we are obliged to prepare courses for a few semesters and then hand them over to other colleagues. The problems occurring are numerous, even if culture of sharing among

ONL Topic 1 : Online participation &digital literacies, Thierry’s reflection

As a French teacher at a university in Sweden, I’m faced with some interesting challenges when it comes to using digital tools in teaching, not least because the courses are open to everyone, of all ages, and I often have classes in which the ages range from 18 to 78 (my oldest student). In my

Problem-Based Learning (PBL)

Reflecting on Problem-Based Learning (PBL) through the lens of physiotherapy education has deepened my appreciation for its value. PBL aligns naturally with the clinical reasoning processes we aim to cultivate in physiotherapy students. It mirrors the real-world scenarios our students will face, requiring them to integrate knowledge, think critically, and collaborate with others. Incorporating PBL

Initial Reflections on Connecting Week

The connecting week was both enlightening and challenging. It provided an opportunity to engage with colleagues and students in new, dynamic ways, but it also highlighted the complexities of creating meaningful connections in an online or hybrid space. From the perspective of a physiotherapy educator, connecting week reminded me of the importance of building a

Thinking of Digital Literacy as a Lecturer in Physiotherapy

As a physiotherapy lecturer, digital literacy is no longer a supplementary skill—it has become essential. Reflecting on my own digital literacy, I recognize how critical it is in facilitating student learning, especially in blended and online environments.

Let’s turn the Topic 1 around – Digital literacies and then, online participation

To acquire digital literacy and to engage online, there is the basic assumption that the learner owns or at least has access to a computer to start with, right? Then, let’s check how many people have or own a computer (desktop, laptop, tablet, etc.). Figures vary by regions and countries and quality but this map
