Starting point

-
Hi,

I'm starting this blog to reflect on my learning in the online cure during the online course ONL172, Open Networked Learning autumn 2017.

I work at Mälardalen University with helping teatchers develop their education with ICT. My work is mostly helping, consulting and leadning workshops, but I also teach a course: "Digital pedagogy competence i higher education". That is a course witch we have hade for some years, but from this autumn it is fully online. Earlier we met in physical workshops to test and to discuss different ICT tools together. Now, everything is done online.

I see both similarities and differences already between "my course" and this course, ONL172. At first I have had difficulties finding everything for this course, and I'm still nor sure I've found it all. A webinar today was clarifying, but not all clear... It is a lot of tools already to keep track of... The thing I see as most giving for this course right now, is the PBL groups. It is fun to see how much of the learning activity that is focused on the groups. I hope my group will be a great place for learning together, and hope for many giving discussions.

Topic 2: Open learning - Sharing and openness

-
I think open education can contribute to a more collective learning approach in all kind of higher education. Maybe we can go so far as knowing where to find good OER examples for my own teaching is a key factor for a good teacher in the near future? Maybe THE key factor in the further future? This is the way to keep up with the rest of the world... This kind of education, MOOCs or semi-MOOCs for example, can help us se an example of a different teaching environment. By making, teaching, taking and collaborate through MOOCs we create a common understanding, and we are building upon each other thoughts and teaching practices. I think this is the only way to go; To build the future education together. Weller & Andersson (2013) lifts both challenges and opportunities. I think the phenomenon is likely to change and develop, but persist in some form and then expand. I think the teacher roll is changing, no matter the platform or if it´s a MOOC of not. We will be more of a colla

Topic 3: Network my learning

To learn together online Topic 3 in the ONL172 course is "Learning in communities – networked & collaborative learning". It has been an interesting subject: I think I'm like most peaople: I like to collaborate. But I think it sometimes is easier to "do it myself". I believe we are constructing knowledge together by articulating our thoughts, by challenging and buildning on each other's thoughts, like Vygotskij expresses. But I also think behaviorist's has something to add. You get quick rewarding feedback by doing it yourself. In the long run I think we have to collaborate and listen a lot to learn. This theme has enlightened the impotance and posibilities on buildning online networks for learning. I am trying to build real collaborative learning experiences online in my teaching. I can see differences when discussions are held in an online forum, compared to video meeting discussions. When you see the face, I see more willingness to really lis

Topic 5 - What have I learned?

What I've learned and the future This has been an interesting journey. It was comfusing at first becase there aresom amny plantforms and places to be all the time. But is has been giving. I was not used to so much collaboration. Not from campus courses, and especially not from distance courses. But it worked! And was also fun! Thanks to my fellow students in my group, and thanks to our two guides, Gizeh Perez Tenorio and Sofie Wennström, I managed to convert from frustration and lack of time, to doing my part (I hope) and finding my way. This way uf using PBL group learning combined with creative collaborative assignment is a good way of learning I think. So I definitly leared something from this cous, but it was mostly from how the course was designed. So this was relly learning from experience as Murthy, Iyer & Warriem (2015) suggests. Learning design should be in focus for any course, but with more blended courses we have to think about it even more. The design gets
