On this page you will find all reflections from participants who connected their individual reflection space fully openly. Learning in communities (ONL Topic 3) by Dimitrios Nikas (Dimitrios ONL reflections) on April 29, 2026 Another fortnight, another topic 🙂 This time we try to examine (true) collaboration in groups. I write true because as others have mentioned in their reflections and also became apparent as a common experience in our group discussion, we and often our students mix cooperation with collaboration. We have been engrained throughout all our student The work we divided instead of sharing by Isabel Duarte (Isabel Duarte) on April 28, 2026 We are here to learn about “Open Networked Learning”. And yet, if I look honestly at what PBL Group 5 actually produced for Topic 3, I see something uncomfortably familiar: eight individuals, each doing their own research, each answering their own question, each writing their own section… and then placing it, side by side, on a Leveraging AI and Tech for Openness in Teaching Practice (ONL Topic 2) by Dimitrios Nikas (Dimitrios ONL reflections) on April 8, 2026 These past 2 weeks our group started with discussing the “theory” of openness and ended up with a very practical, action-oriented strategy towards open learning (which eventually guided our presentation).

This is an extension of who I am as a computational Open Networked Learning by Mark Corbett Wilson (ONL261 - Connecting is Learning) on March 25, 2026 I’ve always loved tools, or, technology.

I took a glassblowing class in college and immediately recognized it as a way to combine many of my Digital Thresholds: Navigating Online Identity (ONL Topic 1) by Dimitrios Nikas (Dimitrios ONL reflections) on March 23, 2026 When I first heard the world reflection as part of the ONL course, it ”scared” me. My mind went back to high school when we had this course called ”Composition” or something like that, where you are given a topic and you should write an essay about it. I was never too good at that Learning is teaching oneself by Isabel Duarte (Isabel Duarte) on March 17, 2026 I joined this course for a reason that took me a while to realize: I have been learning my entire life (across disciplines and languages and tools and ideas). But somewhere along the way I realized that no one had ever taught me how to learn. I had been doing it all along, the way First post-Learning the platform by Dimitrios Nikas (Dimitrios ONL reflections) on March 10, 2026 Hi, Very excited to start this ONL course.
