This is a short reflection on our Connecting week in the ONL201 course. I only learned that I would take the course a few days before it actually started, and I am happy to be on board, so to speak. We have had the starting week and then a Connecting week. For me, the first online meeting was a rather neat experience. It was fun to see so many people from different countries and from different academic disciplines. I learned that I will work with colleagues in PBL group 13. We decided to keep the group name with the unlucky number, which I think was a cool decision to make. What else? I managed to create a blog account and I have posted by first blog post. Quite an achievement.
