Diversity: a curse or a blessing for online collaboration?
I did this Prezi for LiU pedagogical days. I wanted to share my experiences from the Open Networked Learning course, that I took last year. I believed that this course or a similar one could be an alternative for Linköping University where the teachers are more and more interested in developing their digital skills. Specially […]
A tool for open education
At the LiU Medical Faculty we were discussing and planing some labs for medical students. As usually, the time spent was a concern and also the amount of people involved in every teaching moment.

Today, already on the first day of the course, I have participants from Sweden and around the world connecting their blogs to our course homepage. This is such a great reward for […]

Digital literacy – a term, which was new to me until a few weeks back. A term, which covers a broad range of things on the digital self and practice and which […]
