Open Networked Learning - A course, a community, an approach

Open Networked Learning is an open online course on… open online teaching and learning, organized, if I read the footers correctly, Karlstadt University (Sweden) and Arcada (Finland).

The Open Networked Learning project has developed as a response to a growing need for courses dealing with the use of digital tools for teaching and learning. Further it is a result of educational developers looking outside their own universities to collaborate within their network of colleagues nationally and internationally. As our universities have included a clause about internationalisation in their strategic plans – this course is one way of living up to that in the form of internationalisation at home.

There’s quite a back story for ONL including that it is itself a remix of an earlier project between several European universities as the CC licensed Flexible, Distance and Online Learning (FDOL) course.

It looks like there is an offering of ONL252 starting in September 2025 over 12 weeks (see the course overview/outline)-- see the online registration form.

I spotted this via a mastodon post by @joergelp for a poster presentation at Germany’s Library Congress in Bremen. I am sure Jorge will answer questions posted here.

Who might be interested in taking this course?

Thanks @cogdog@cosocial.ca and @joergelp@social.sunet.se. Looks to be a fantastic and relevant course. May be synergies with open online course Distributing education and knowledge creation to increase equity.

I registered my interest! Looking forward!
