Start of a new learning journey (ONL211)
Today is the official start of the course ONL211, which is about Open Networked Learning, but for me personally also a new step on my personal learning journey to pick up new ideas and inspiration on the future of online education.
The ONL211 is for me an opportunity to connect to a global learning community of academics aiming to co-create the future of online education. The value, as already experienced in a similar course last semester, is the ability to regularly try out new pedagogic concepts together with my own students for a common experience on what works and what not for what reasons.
Watch this space as I will be eager to share what works for my students and trying to map this to applicable learning and education concepts.
The picture chosen for this blog shows the liberty in online education for educators as well as learners to deliberately chose a learning environment that is optimally supportive. As long as you have a good Internet connection only your own creativity sets the limits on how exciting this form of learning can be. The world becomes the class room instead of a confined space defined by somebody else.
