Hello everyone, I still find it quite difficult to manage all the different platforms and I think it is too much work effort going into just figuring out exactly what to do or what it expected from us. Last week was quite nice though where we got to get to know our team members in … Fortsätt läsa Some thoughts on the work during the second week
Digital anxiety
That fear of digital tools can undermine learning made me think about a topic that I encountered in a previous pedagogics course. Quant-phobia or statistical anxiety are terms describing how some students get mentally blocked when they see equations, calculations, or numbers. According to a study of US humanities, 75-80% of the students experience that their … Continue reading “Digital anxiety”
Week 2 – the journey continues…
Week of 24 September 2018 This has been a busy week of learning – stimulating and enlightening in so many ways! I attended a conference that focused on what’s coming and in fact, is here, in many cases already – artificial intelligence, cryto-currencies, blockchains… – mind-boggling but so interesting. I then attended a talk on … Continue reading Week 2 – the journey continues… →

Last week’s keynote by Hülya Basaran
During last week’s pedagogical conference at Karlstad University, I had the pleasure to listen to the keynote by Hülya Basaran. Hülya held a very inspirational speech about her immigrant background, being different, braking norms and following one’s dreams. I’m always glad, when I see a presenter in Sweden having a creative commons license on the […]
Week 1 – Connecting
The first “real” week of the ONL course has passed. A week where the feelings of excitement and overwhelming have been running in parallel. The uncertainty of what we, as students should do, together with the use of new technologies and platforms has generated many questions in my head. Unfortunately, still nothing that important to … Continue reading Week 1 – Connecting
Still confused but eager to learn
OK, first week is done. I managed to find the online meeting on Hangout on Air and I’ve managed to contribute to the task of this first week – even managed to post it in the ONL181 Community. Not too bad after all. But I’m still confused. Particularly with respect to those online meetings and … Fortsätt läsa Still confused but eager to learn
Cooperative, Collaborative, PBL or TBL

The articles provided by the ONL181 course were quite interesting. It was nice to have the first article by Davidson, Major & Michaelsen that … Continue reading Cooperative, Collaborative, PBL or TBL →
