Diversity can be a curse
For us who want to develop digital teaching and learning environments
Open course organized by KI, Lund University, Linnaeus University, KTH, Stockholm University (Sweden), Independent Institute of Education (IIE) (South Africa), Arcada (Finland) and more to come...
Feeling like this?
Can it be because...

(Different priorities)
I want to go fast but they're slow (Different tempo, skills)
English is not my mother language I feel insecure (Different Language)
The communication platform sucks! I don't hear anything! (Different IT skills, connectivity)
People here seems to go in different directions...(Different goals)
What are we doing here? Facilitator I am waiting for instructions to proceed (Different PBL experience, cultural background)
I need more structure, I rather think alone
(Different learning styles,
Introverts in a group?)
