Yael-ONL201-2020

Pathways for network collaborative learning is the title we chose for the pictogram that my PBL-group (Group 7) produced as the outcome for Topic 3: Learning in communities - networked collaborative learning. During this topic, our group really walked the talk! We had an interesting discussion about the topic in general, highlighting its complexity and the many perspectives that can be considered. We used the 🐟-document to document our ideas about various foci-areas and things to explore. We worked on the fish document while everybody was online so we could - as a community - create new ideas with the help of each other's throughts. We decided to make a pictogram using Canva and we explored together how to use it - again in a very collaborative way, not just letting the person who is good at one thing do it, but encouraging and helping each other to test the various functions and options. The process of producing the final pictogram offered several opportunities for practicing

Collaborative learning - when interaction with other's thoughts is at its best My journey through ONL keeps providing lots of food for thought about many different issues. Reflecting on my own ways of learning and on how our PBL-group is evolving is an important part of this educational exercise. Another significant part consists of being introduced to tools and resources that I had only heard about before but never used, and some that I even had not heard about and that turn out to be fascinating and useful. The week of reflection and catching up passed very quickly. I spent some time reading and getting inspired by the blogs of other course participants. I did some digging in the library's resources and found interesting articles and then I found myself thinking about the enormous amount of knowledge that is continuously being produced in the field of teaching and learning. I was also fascinated by the speed of publications and resources that eminated from the present Cor

When I signed up for the ONL-course, globalization was taken for granted and online learning was embraced by a smaller portion of my colleagues. When the course started, it was nice to meet so many people who share the same interests as I do related to digital tools, online learning environments etc. Now, facing the new Corona virus/Covid-19 we suddently experience a significantly modified way of living (understatement?). Teachers at our university had to switch to online learning with one day notice (!).  Our present experiences in these challenging time make the topics of this course extremely relevant and I can't wait to see the results of research about the giant steps into the world of online teaching & learning that were taken within education all over the world. But life goes on, in spite of Corona-on-the-agenda, so I want to dedicate some lines to my experiences of the last couple of weeks with ONL201. For Topic 1 (Online participation & digital literacies), our P

We are now a few weeks into the course and I can summarize my experience so far with one word: inspiring. - Meeting colleagues from various universities who share a common interest in learning more about ONL opens up for new perspectives on various issues, inspiring new thoughts/questions. - Being exposed to new tools and getting the chance of testing them makes me realize the need to continuously keep up with development. At times, this insight is also somewhat exhausting but, on the whole, it gives satisfaction when I can master new tools and understand why/when/how to use them. - The webinar I attended was inspiring in the sense that it gave me food for thought with regard to ways of exploring our practices in digital landscapes/environments. Enlightning and thought-provoking. I like playing with words and acronyms so INSPIRING can stand for several experiences from the ONL-course so far: I nformative N urturing S urprising P rofessional development I nstant learning R e-

Today we had an information meeting about the ONL201-course - it was nice meeting seven colleagues from Linnaeus University who, like me, will take this course. Looking forward to meeting my PBL-group and other participants in the course!
