Salience and Collective Intelligence (#ONL172)
I was recently faced with a situation at work where we noticed that our project stagnated. It was everyone’s task but no one’s responsibility. What have you accomplished during the course? I participated in the ONL162 in 2016 as an Open Learner with no PBL-group, which gave me possibility to interact with the course material and… Read more »
Trajectory and Learning Analytics (#ONL172)
During topic 4 we have investigated “Design for online and blended learning” and my focus was on systematic reflection throughout a whole course. I’m in favour of self-reflection and peer review to keep online learners actively engaged. Checklists or trackers can be a form, but I have also seen recorded material or presentations that ask the “viewer”… Read more »
RATHER MY SOFA THAN BAFANA’S BENCH
Let us look at the rationality of this statement not in a modest and selfish way. Yes Holland bench is better than Bafana bench. Why fly all the way to warm a bench here? Baxter and company must check first if they need an overseas player to play on the day. If not don’t bring …
Collaborate with Peers (#ONL172)
To assess the collaboration among peers I have used a rubric for 21st Century Learning Design (21CLD) from Innovative Teaching and Learning. Did they share responsibility fairly, make substantive decisions together, and create interdependent work products? In the Activity Rubrics there is a five level checklist on collaboration and during our group work we discussed the diffrence between collaboration… Read more »
Micro-credential for Learning in a MOOC (#ONL172)
Our scenario during the second topic in ONL172, mention the use of technology in a MOOC. One example is to divide the material into modules and add micro-credentials. Open Badges was started by Mozilla Foundation and this is their definition: “Open Badges are visual tokens of achievement, affiliation, authorization, or other trust relationship sharable across… Read more »
Filtering Our Digital Identity (#ONL172)
As we worked with our first topic in Open Networked Learning (#ONL172) we were asked to reflect on our digital presence and identity as well as our experience of digital consumption, communication, collaboration and creation. In my PBL group one subtopic that we had in FOCUS was “What about digital identity – how does it develop?” and from my own INVESTIGATION… Read more »
Introduction and Expectations (#ONL172)
During the first week of Open Networked Learning ONL172 we will share expectations, background knowledge and begin to build relationships among participants. The approach is “learning-by-doing” in order to develop skills dealing with the use of digital tools for teaching and learning. The course build on international and cross-institutional collaboration and also invites “open learners” with no academic… Read more »

From the European Distance and E-Learning Network – EDEN 26th annual conference (post 1)
The EDEN 26th annual meeting took place in Jönköping last week. It was the first time I participated. Here, I want to share some presentations that I found particularly interesting, including our own presentation last Friday! 1- Anders Söderholm, UKÄ director talked, for instance, about the University as a platform for learning instead of an […]
Sunshine at the end!
There is sun at the end of the winding road. Today I had my last meeting with my PBL5 group. We talked a lot about our experiences during the ONL171 course. It was good. I am aware that we often need to hear about what went well. However, to receive constructive criticism is also important. […]
E Pluribus Unum
This post is not about flowers, I promise! Do you know what happens to orchids when you water them too much or too little? They die! I know it because I no longer have orchids. I do have an online group though. With online groups it may be the same. As a facilitator you really […]

Both my parents were teachers. At school I recall having wonderful mentors and when, I started to do research I met these people at the […]
