Hello all,

Regarding the ONL-course, I have been designated to PBL Group 9. The
first weeks were a bit uneventful, but things are starting to pick up now in our group as work on Topic 1 has begun.

Best, Jesper

Hi guys, So my group, PBL09, has been busy at work on a video for Topic 2. It has been great fun working with the people in my group. When I do research I do work with colleagues for most of the time but when I teach, because of my field, I'm a bit of a solitaire. So it has been inspirational to for once work together with other, wonderfully nice and enthusiastic people in a group like this. When it comes to the topic at hand, Open learning, sharing and openness, especially sharing is something I can relate to a great deal and something I would like to dive into and use in my teaching to a greater extent. So looking ahead, next is Reflection week which I think I can use to catch up on my learning. Take care, Jesper

Then I began my YouTube channel and started to put my lectures on YT as well as in my courses. It was an unintentional and a bit immature way of open publishing you might say. I knew that my YT videos could not contain material that was copyrighted so my approach when it came to producing video lectures started to change. This was because I did not want to make two lectures on more or less the same subject. So therefore, in the process my closed university courses lectures have become cleaner when it comes to the subject of copyri...

Reflections on Topic 4: Design for online and blended learning

Hi guys, OK so about this topic I have chosen to reflect on “Are there opportunities for further development in this area that you have identified as a result of your own experience as a learner in the ONL course and of your engagement in this topic?” from the suggested themes by the ONL team. And the answer to that question is a resounding “Yes!”. I was struck with the video by Dr. Marti Cleveland-Innes (only one of them worked, just sayin’). She pointed out that the Community of Inquiry-model that consists of social, cognitive and teaching presence may also have a 4 th presence, namely emotion. It was obvious that a lot of people in the ONL course also thought so, almost all the input in the padlet concerned emotional presence. In a slide Cleveland-Innes spoke on desirable traits for a teacher to project, specifically: ·         Relaxed confidence, conviction ·         Enthusiasm, excitement, ...
