About ONL

The ONL course design builds on open, collaborative and networked learning practices and explores how a problem-based learning (PBL) format can be utilized in an online learning environment. The course pedagogy of ONL includes openness in the educational process, self-determined learning, a real purpose in the cooperative process, a supportive learning environment, collaborative assessment of learning, and, assessment and evaluation of the ongoing learning process. ONL, as a result of using these frameworks, creates an open, collaborative and online learning environment that helps developing a community of practice that can enhance learning in personal learning networks and environments.
