eLearn: Feature Article - Creating Online Professional Learning Communities - 0 views

  • In the 21st century, working environments are evolving into collaborative places where knowledge is disseminated by autonomous individuals organized into more lateral and less hierarchical structures
  • "These technologies form rich socio-technical networks that have come to constitute life in this digital age, and participation in these networks is becoming commonplace. They exist in various stages, forms, and venues"
  • Recent years have yielded research into the importance of community and online teaching in online courses
  • ...3 more annotations...
  • This has expanded into the idea of a social presence where one is able to be seen as a real person in a virtual environment
  • Study findings have supported the idea that the cause of success in an online environment is the establishment of an effective learning community [9].
  • what steps may be taken to create and establish online PLCs to make them work for a virtual environment

EduDemic » Twitter Launches Official Guide To Tweeting [VIDEOS] - 0 views

  • While we were glad to write up a handy guide to Twitter for teachers, the microblogging service has just rolled out an array of How To videos for their service. The recently launched Twitter Help Center now features a number of videos to answer questions such as “What is Retweet?” “What is Following?” “What is a Timeline?” and “How to Find People and Be Found“. Twitter has also set up a YouTube account for these videos.

A "Complex" Theory of Consciousness: Scientific American - 0 views

  • If Tononi’s equation for Φ proves to plumb the hitherto ineffable—consciousness itself—it would validate the ancient Pythagorean belief that “number is the ruler of forms and ideas and the cause of gods and demons.”
    • Enrique Rubio Royo
       
      Si la ecuación de Tononi para Φ sirviera para sondear lo hasta ahora inefable (incapaz de explicarse con palabras) -la propia conciencia-, sería la confirmación de la antigua creencia pitagórica de que "el número es el gobernante de las formas y las ideas y la causa de los dioses y los demonios."
  • One unavoidable consequence of IIT is that
    • Enrique Rubio Royo
       
      La conciencia es universal. Una consecuencia de la TII es que todos los sitemas que están suficientemente integrados y diferenciados presentarán un mínimo de conciencia asociada a los mismos: no solo nuestros queridos perros y gatos, sino también los ratones, calamarers, abejas y gusanos.
  • The theory does not discriminate between squishy brains inside skulls and silicon circuits encased in titanium.
    • Enrique Rubio Royo
       
      Al menos en principio, las increiblemente complejas interacciones moleculares en el interior de una célula, presenta un número 'fi' distinto de cero. En el límite, un único ion de hidrógeno, un protón formado por tres quarks, tendrán una cantidad de sinergia, es decir de 'fi'. En este sentido, TII es una versión científica del panpsiquismo, la antigua y ampliamente difundida creencia de que toda la materia, todas las cosas, animadas ono, son conscientes en alguna medida.La teoría no discrimina entre entre los cerebros blandos dentro de los cráneos y los circuitos de silicio recubiertos de titanio. Suponiendo que las relaciones causales enttre transistores y elementos de memoria son lo suficientemente complejos, los ordenadores o miles de millones de ordenadores en Internet tendrán un número 'fi' distinto de cero. El tamaño de 'fi', incluso podría llegar a ser un punto de referencia para la inteligencia de una máquina.

  • Do the neural networks that mediate these ­unconscious, zombielike behaviors have lower Φ than the ones that give rise to consciousness?
    • Enrique Rubio Royo
       
      ¿Las redes neuronales que median estos comportamientos inconscientes, tienen un menor nº Φ ('fi'), que las que dan lugar a la conciencia?. La TII de la conciencia puede ser completamente equivocada, pero sin embargo, nos desafía a pensar profundamente acerca del problema mente-cuerpo de una manera novedosa, rigurosa y matemática, y con una mentalidad empírica. Y eso es una gran bendición para esta tarea.

A "Complex" Theory of Consciousness: Scientific American - 0 views

  • Think of Φ as the synergy of the system
    • Enrique Rubio Royo
       
      sinergia. (Del gr. συνεργία, cooperación). 1. f. Acción de dos o más causas cuyo efecto es superior a la suma de los efectos individuales. 2. f. Biol. Concurso activo y concertado de varios órganos para realizar una función.
  • The more integrated the system is, the more synergy it has, the more conscious it is.
  • To be conscious, then, you need to be a single, integrated entity with a large repertoire of highly differentiated states
    • Enrique Rubio Royo
       
      Para ser conscientes, pues, necesitamos ser una entidad única, integrada, con un gran repertorio de estados altamente diferenciados. Mi ordenador con una gran memoria en disco (megas o terabytes), muestra INFO no integrada. P.e. mis fotografias familiares, no están enlazadas unas con otras. El ordenador no sabe que la persona presente en unas fotos es mi esposa en distintas èpocas de su vida. Par el ordenador, toda la INFO carece de significado, se trata simplemente de un amplio y aleatorio tapíz de ceros y unos.

  • I derive meaning from these images because my memories are heavily cross-linked.
    • Enrique Rubio Royo
       
      Por nuestra parte, extraemos significado de dichas imágenes debido a que nuestras memorias están hiperconetadas, de tal modo que cuanto mas interconectada, mas significativas se convierten.
  • Indeed, Tononi’s IIT postulates that
    • Enrique Rubio Royo
       
      La teoría TII postula que 'la cantidad de información integrada que una entidad posee se corresponde con su nivel de conciencia'. Estas ideas pueden ser expresadas en un lenguaje matemático usando nociones de la teoría de la información, tales como la Entropía. Dado un cerebro particular, con sus neuronas y axones, dendritas y sinapsis, podemos, en principio, calcular con seguridad la extensión a la cuál su cerebro esta integrado. A partir de dichos cálculos,la teoría deduce un número 'fi', que denota el tamaño del repertorio consciente asociado con cualquier toda red de partes causalmente interactuantes. Pensemos en 'fi' como la sinergia del sistema. Cuanto mas integrado sea el sistema, mayor sinergia posee, mas consciente es.

  • The reason is that we lack a coherent framework for consciousness.
    • Enrique Rubio Royo
       
      Planteamiento del problema relativo a 'la conciencia': No se dispone de un marco formal de trabajo para la conciencia, a pesar de que es el único medio del que disponemos para conocer o generar significado del mundo, tanto interior como del exterior que nos circunda. NO existe acuerdo acerca de qué es, cómo se relaciona con la materia altamente organizada, o cuál es su papel en la vida. No obstante, podría empezar a cambiar esta situación.
  • Since the early days of computers, scholars have argued that the subjective, phenomenal states that make up the life of the mind are intimately linked to the information expressed at that time by the brain
    • Enrique Rubio Royo
       
      La lengua franca universal de nuestra época es la información (Internet, computadoras). Desde los primeros días de los ordenadores, los estudiosos han argumentado que los estados subjetivos, fenomenológicos, que conforman la vida de la mente, están íntimamente ligados a la información expresada en ese momento por el cerebro. En ese sentido, Giuilio Tononi (Univ Wisconsin-Madison), ha desarrollado la Teoría de la Información Integrada de la conciencia (TII)

Social Networking: A Platform for Training New Managers Online? by Bill Brandon : Learn... - 0 views

  • Why consider a social network for manager training?
    • Enrique Rubio Royo
       
      también puede preguntarse...¿por qué considerar una red social para formación de formadores?, ¿no?
  • These are the workers who will be your new supervisors and managers
  • workers in their 20s and 30s expect to be able to use the latest IT applications in their workplace. They are used to social networking online, and to online learning, often preferring these to classroom instruction

  • In addition, this also will encourage open communication between companies, employers, HR departments, owners, and managers.” 
  • Without appropriate technology tools and resources available in their work environment, they may look for help from non-work related services such as Facebook.com. Integrating social media into the development environment eliminates this potential challenge and at the same time increases the potential for success of the development effort and of the new managers. 
  • Can social networking provide a practical way to help prepare new managers for their duties? Considering the rapid growth of social networking adoption among younger workers, this is a question well worth asking
    • Enrique Rubio Royo
       
      Frente a la formación tradicional en las ORGs (planteamiento de formación en aula exclusivamente), se propone el Aprendizaje informal online.
  • Creating a curriculum for training new managers and supervisors is a common task that falls to instructional designers
    • Enrique Rubio Royo
       
      A lo largo de todo el artículo, estableceremos la aplicación de lo que se dice tanto a 'managers' (artículo en si mismo, y que es también nuestro interés en ORG 2.0) como a formadores, profesores (que es nuestro interés en Aula 2.0)
  • The typical approach for many decades has consisted of a combination of classroom events, each lasting from one to five days (or more). This default design has many problems, including travel expense and time away from the job for the managers. Not infrequently, there are severe mismatches between what is taught and the actual practices supported by the organization’s culture.
  • There is an increasing number of companies and online service providers who are convinced that social networking can help overcome at least some of the issues common to the classroom-only approach
    • Enrique Rubio Royo
       
      Frente a los problemas y dificultades asociados al planteamiento tradicional de 'solo Aula', estamos convencidos de la bondad de la interacción social online. Combinando formación formal de Aula y referencias online y apoyo al rendimiento, junto con 'coaching', 'mentoring' y aprendizaje informal online a través de redes sociales (social networking), un joven profesor o directivo puede alcanzar una sólida formación teórica, ayuda 'justín´time', y adecuadas aplicaciones.
  • By combining formal classroom instruction and online reference and performance support with online coaching, mentoring, and informal learning through social networking, a new manager can gain a solid theory foundation, just-in-time help, and culturally correct application pointers.
  • Informal learning, as an object of attention by researchers, is not a new topic. However, it only appeared on the radar screens of instructional designers less than ten years ago. The emergence of online social media has led to the notion of somehow tapping into the potential of this channel, that carries so much of the real learning that goes on in organizations.
  • In our current age, we have plenty of channels in which informal learning can take place: everything from microblogs (Twitter), to communities (LinkedIn Groups, discussion forums), to user-created content (wikis, Weblogs, YouTube), to social bookmarking (Delicious), and surely more to come.
  • But we also have plenty of examples of attempts at use of these channels in which the attempts failed. The virtual landscape is littered with the remains of abandoned wikis, content-less and comment-less Weblogs, and LinkedIn Groups where the spam has driven out the discussion and all but eliminated any possibility of learning.
  • Existing informal learning groups online include a surprising variety of formats
  • Jay Cross’ Internet Time Community,
  • Participants in the Twitter #lrnchat sessions also comprise an ongoing informal learning group
  • if informal learning is going to take place online, it must be self-sustaining
  • Focus
  • Focus
  • Dialogue
  • here are the factors that seem to drive participation and commitment by members.
  • What makes informal learning online work?
  • Focus
  • Payoff
  • Leadership
  • Membership
  • Process
  • If a group lacks focus, or focus is too narrow, if the group’s process is too complicated, if there are not enough members, and if there are no rewards for participation, the group will fail. Informal groups are a lot of work to establish and maintain, and the work falls equally on all members.
  • Setting up a social network for manager training
  • The first task is to establish a design for the social interaction. This must come before technology selection, so that the limitations of the technology do not drive or constrain the interaction.

eLearn: Research Papers - Predictors of Success for Adult Online Learners: A Review of ... - 0 views

  •  
    Factores de éxito en aprendizaje online (revisión de la literatura). comentarios de Dolors Reig. La autonomía es un factor fundamental: Autonomous, self-regulated learners committ to controlling their own learning experiences Las titulaciones parecen predecir el éxito: Graduate vs. Undergraduate Motivations: Differences have been noted between undergraduate and graduate distance learners and their motivations. Parece que la edad no es lo importante: Age as a Factor in Online Learners' Success: The literature supports the idea that because adult learners are not as technologically savvy and have more responsibilities toward work and family, online learning is more difficult for them (Dubois, 1996). However, Ke and Xie's (2009) study showed that regardless of an adult learner's age, students self-reported the same amount of effort put into learning tasks and reported comparable levels of satisfaction. Características en un buen modelo: Design Model Characteristics and the Impact on Performance and Learner Satisfaction * connect new knowledge to prior learning: conectar nuevo conocimiento con anterior (recordemos el conectivismo) * maintain collaboration and social interaction between students: mantener la colaboración, la interacción social * promote a self-reflective environment: promover un entorno de reflexión. * include current or immediate applications: Incluir ejemplos prácticos (Learning by doing, añado) * advance self-regulated learning: avanzar mecanismos de auto-aprendizaje: la idea de los PLE-PLN responde a ello.
