Best, Jesper

Topic 5: Lessons learnt – future practice

OK then, it’s (sadly) time for me to blog post for the final time in this course and to summarize my experiences and what I have learned through these weeks that began already back in February. The ONL team has kindly put together questions for me to use when I reflect back on the course, and that I am happy to employ. What are the most important things that you have learnt through your engagement in the ONL course? Why? There are several matters that I have learned actually. Most importantly I have improved my collaborative skills and a bit of the many pedagogical aspects linked to this method of learning. I already have mastered a lot of the technical tools used in the course. In fact my competence in that area surpasses a lot of the material provided to us by the ONL team. David White had some nice professional looking videos though. However, Al Creelman told us early that this was not a course in which we would be taught on which button to press so I didn’t expect to lear...

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, ...

Reflections on Topic 2

OK, so Open Learning – Sharing and Openness then. Let’s start with what openness means for my own teaching. Up until a year ago, I pretty much ripped off and used just about any material I wanted and could get my hands on in my courses. It could be a YouTube video, a song on Spotify or a figure or model from an internet page. It didn’t really matter because my courses and its content were not public so no laws of copyright were broken, the way I saw it. 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...
