Welcome to 2019!

I initiated this blog at the beginning of 2016, as I began my doctoral research journey. It feels like I have only blinked, and now I am writing the first post of 2019, having spent my allotted three years researching, reading and writing. I now find myself waiting for the return of my PhD thesis, which is currently under examination, so that I can finalise my study and begin a new adventure,…

This collection focuses on the Connected Learning Framework presented by Mimi Ito and colleagues, and includes a series of open access readings and reports, as well as three book suggestions for those who wish to delve more…

Open Education in 2018 - Shifting Sands

Open Education in 2018 – Shifting Sands

This post provides a brief summary of my reflections and insights after an asynchronous discussion with the ONL181 cohort about the concepts of open education and sharing openly online.

As some of you may know, I have been involved with ONL for several years, and have blogged about my experiences as participant, co-facilitator and now as presenter on different occasions. You can read these…

Blogging the PhD journey

They say that time flies when you are having fun, and obviously I have been having way too much fun completing this PhD, because next week I present my final seminar. It is almost over.

Writing my thesis has been a fairly singular activity, and this blog has been my window out into the world – my way to stay in touch. Rather than disappearing behind a computer screen for three years, I feel as…

The online Book Club - A connected learning experience?

The online Book Club – A connected learning experience?

The online book club is a fairly new concept to me, and one that I have been exploring through a variety of channels.

My first exposure to an online book club was early this year, when I came across the book club that is run by Bryan Alexander. Bryan is a futurist, researcher, writer, speaker, consultant, and teacher, and an altogether lovely guy. He has been running his version of an online book…

Password like its 1999

So yesterday it was revealed that over a thousand government employees in Western Australia are using Password123, and

More than 12,000 accounts had passwords with variations of the date and season, such as October17 or Summer17; 6,827 had “123” somewhere in the password; and over 5,000 had different versions of the word “password”.

It is difficult to believe that in August 2018, this type of…

Visualise your Thesis - Stretching my Brain in a Different Direction

Visualise your Thesis – Stretching my Brain in a Different Direction

Earlier this year, my stepdaughter underwent open heart surgery. The procedure went smoothly (thank goodness!) and she recovered well, however during this time, I was a little scattered, and found it difficult to fit in concentrated blocks of time writing my thesis. Even when I did have an hour or two to spare, my brain was all over the place, and I could not get into the zone.

Feeling guilty if…

Personal Learning Networks and Pedagogy - what's the connection?

Personal Learning Networks and Pedagogy – what’s the connection?

A few weeks ago now, I was honoured to visit the University Pedagogy Centre at Lulea University of Technology, in Northern Sweden. During the week I spent working with Oskar Gedda, Malin Larsson Lindback and their team, we discussed the role of PLNs in the professional learning lives of teaching staff, and of the students at the university.

I presented my research to staff and students on…
