The ride was demanding, time-consuming, and required considerable effort. Nevertheless, the knowledge and experience obtained are invaluable and priceless. The activities and discussions were generally well organized. I admired the level of engagement and diversity of the groups. As I complete the course, I ask myself the following questions:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;What did I learn?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What did I like most about the course?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What aspects of the course I would use in my future teaching?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Before dying to reflect on what I learned, I should note that I started this course with a traditional pedagogy mindset and I am leaving with a progressive or revolutionary pedagogy mindset. A major takeaway for me is online learning can be fun, engaging, interactive, and connect people. The activities in my PBL group were hands-on learning tools for me to understand how I can use an unconventional but effective approach to acquiring knowledge. I use the term unconventional only to mean it is an approach different from the traditional approach. What I appreciate the most about the course is the potentials of open learning, sharing knowledge, collaborative and network learning, and how these modes of learning can be effectively applied using a blended or hybrid setting which requires digital literacies. I liked the last topic particularly <a href=\"https:\/\/andela.com\/insights\/explore-your-theory-of-learning\/\">Elmore&#8217;s four learning modes <\/a>teachers can assume. I hope to move from the hierarchical individual to the hierarchical collective quadrant for my teaching, while the distributed collective quadrant will be ideal for my research work.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I intend to use some aspects of ONL and the problem-based learning concept in my courses. Some colleagues equally welcomed the idea of incorporating some aspects of ONL in their courses. Concerning aspects of the course I admired, I liked the idea of facilitating students&#8217; transition from digital visitors to digital residents by achieving the requisite digital literacies regarding particular digital tools relevant for their learning. Also, I liked the idea of open learning in general. I have already started incorporating aspects of ONL in my courses. For example, I have included some lectures from YouTube and other sources as part of the course literature. I have also begun sharing my recorded lectures on an open platform for other students to use their learning.\u00a0\u00a0I equally plan on developing a collaborative learning approach for my seminar courses by designing assignments that make use of the FISh model and that emphasize group over individual goals. I equally plan to introduce some form of blended learning. However, I am sceptical about incorporating hybrid learning since I tried it before, and it was demanding and required more attention for both students in class and online. Overall, through this course, I experienced the possibility of having fruitful, engaging, and fun online learning experiences.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-1 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><ul class=\"blocks-gallery-grid\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/sola.kau.se\/myjourneywithonl212\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/542\/2021\/12\/High-five--683x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"36\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/sola.kau.se\/myjourneywithonl212\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/542\/2021\/12\/High-five-.jpeg\" data-link=\"https:\/\/sola.kau.se\/myjourneywithonl212\/?attachment_id=36\" class=\"wp-image-36\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sola.kau.se\/myjourneywithonl212\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/542\/2021\/12\/High-five--683x1024.jpeg 683w, https:\/\/sola.kau.se\/myjourneywithonl212\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/542\/2021\/12\/High-five--200x300.jpeg 200w, https:\/\/sola.kau.se\/myjourneywithonl212\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/542\/2021\/12\/High-five--768x1152.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/sola.kau.se\/myjourneywithonl212\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/542\/2021\/12\/High-five--1024x1536.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/sola.kau.se\/myjourneywithonl212\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/542\/2021\/12\/High-five--1365x2048.jpeg 1365w, https:\/\/sola.kau.se\/myjourneywithonl212\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/542\/2021\/12\/High-five--900x1350.jpeg 900w, https:\/\/sola.kau.se\/myjourneywithonl212\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/542\/2021\/12\/High-five--1280x1920.jpeg 1280w, https:\/\/sola.kau.se\/myjourneywithonl212\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/542\/2021\/12\/High-five-.jpeg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><\/ul><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After several weeks of learning collaboratively in the PBL group, the course has finally come to an end.
