Reflections on the course
When I signed up for the ONL211 course I had not really any clear idea of what I was in for. To be honest, I was expecting something a little bit more traditional and something certainly more boring. At some times also something a bit less time consuming, although I think I managed to balance…
To engage students in blended learning environments
I have reflected partly on teaching during this course. So far the world of teaching is completely new to me, I only started in early February, and have thus not the privilege to be able to compare methods – because of COVID-19 everything happens online, at a distance.

A bit about me
My name is Janne and I live in Helsinki, Finland. I have spent most of my life in this city, although I did live for one year in Malmö, Sweden, as an exchange student. Except for that, I have travelled quite a lot. I will not list all places I have visited, but some that…
