Topic 4: Design for online and blended learning

BIld av Chris Martin från Pixabay As we start to come to the end of this ONL journey, we go into the designing part of online and blended learning. In our PBL group, we had a fruitful collaboration and sharing of experiences related to this topic. The Mural, which we use for brainstorming and sharing of ideas, was crammed with information, reflections, pictures etc. for this topic. For the first time, the two weeks allocated for the topic was insufficient and we had to “steal” a little time from the final topic and week in order to finalize the presentation of the topic. But what a presentation! So much design, practical tips and collaboration illustrated in one straight (utopian) train ride. Reflecting on my own practice and possibilities for development, I found the Community of Inquiry Survey useful. One area of this survey involves the facilitation of the learning and the course, an area central to learning and always in need of development. The facilitation comprises ho...

In the National Network for Specialist Nursing Programmes in Psychiatric Care, we have discussed this aspect and talked about building an open “library” where we share our recorded lectures, reflection materials etc. between each other. We are all experts in so...

My memes for Topic 5! The time has come for a final reflection regarding the past twelve weeks of the Open Networked Learning (ONL) 201 course. Reading the final blog reflections of my co-students in this course, the word “journey” frequently appears in many blogs and I agree, it is a suitable metaphor for these past twelve weeks of learning and collaboration. It has been a great experience, especially having the chance to be a student again and recall how it can in the beginning of a new course. Looking back on the course, there are some aspects that stood out and that made an impression on my learning. I particularly remember the topic about sharing and openness. How the readings, conversations with colleagues and the learning activities suddenly gave clear descriptions on the underlying philosophical notions regarding openness and sharing. Notions that I felt harmonized with my own ideas, but that I previously did not know how to explain. During that topic I had an “aha-experi...
