  • It seeks to determine how a teacher can scaffold a networked learning approach while providing a foundation on which students take more control of the learning process.
  • Emerging web applications offer unique opportunities to customise the learning environment for individual learners
  • In the past, learning environments were immediately associated with a physical location
  • however, the concept is increasingly expanded to include online learning, virtual schools, and blended opportunities that combine traditional with digital options
  • Traditional, lecture-based classrooms are designed as passive learning environments in which the teacher conveys knowledge and the student responds (Chen, 2009). Imagine the potential frustration that self-regulated learning holds for students who are quite comfortably accustomed to specific teacher directions with finite expectations.
  • learner motivation
  • Personal learning suggests learner autonomy and increased self regulation
  • self-directed.
  • they are also required to take an active role in the learning process by making decisions
  • Teachers, on the other hand, are challenged to provide an appropriate balance between structure and learner autonomy in order to facilitate self-directed, personalised learning
  • Such a scenario further presents challenges to traditional forms of assessment
  • The role of a teacher within a student-centered approach to instruction is that of a facilitator or coach
  • He or she supports the students in their search and supply of relevant material, coordinates the students' presentations of individual milestones of their projects, moderates discussions, consults in all kinds of problem-solving and seeking for solutions, lectures on topics that are selected in plenary discussions with the students and conforms to the curriculum"
  • The purpose of this test case is to introduce a model for the student construction of personal learning environments that balances teacher control with increased student autonomy
  • a level of structure is required to scaffold the learning process
  • Networked learning refers specifically to "learning in which information communication technology is used to promote connections: between one learner and other learners, between learners and tutors, between a learning community and its learning resources"
  • Networked learning is manifested in personal learning environments (PLEs), or "systems that help learners take control of and manage their own learning"
  • a model of the networked teacher that represents an educator's professional personal learning environment (PLE)
  • Figure 1: The Networked Teacher (Couros, 2008) It is a model through which teachers begin to build professional connections to support teaching practice
  • The Networked Student Model adapts Couros' vision for teacher professional development in a format that is applicable to the K-12 student. It includes four primary categories, each with many components evident in the networked teacher version (Figure 2).
  • he networked student follows a constructivist approach to learning. He or she constructs knowledge based on experiences and social interactions
  • Constructivism encourages "greater participation by students in their appropriation of scholarly knowledge"
  • Technology supports this appropriation as a collection of tools that promote knowledge construction,
  • Networked Student Model.
  • Students use RSS and social bookmarking to organise information and build upon prior knowledge with the goal of completing a task or meeting a learning objective. Social media, or web-based applications designed for the purpose of interacting with others online, promote conversations. Blogs are an example of a vehicle through which students can reflect on the learning process. The sub-parts coexist to support a constructive learning experience. The student's personal learning environment pulls them all together.
  • Siemens (2008) associates the concept of connectivism with networked learning
  • in the networked learning environment, blogging is a key component of the personal learning environment through which students respond to and collect the opinions of others. Students identify blogs that target a specific unit of study, and they have the option to respond with opinions of their own.
  • In a traditional classroom setting, the teacher has primary control over the content.
  • Networked learning gives students the ability and the control to connect with subject matter experts in virtually any field.
  • The skill to identify valid content and expertise,
  • The connection to humans is an essential part of the learning process. That connection expands to include access to resources and creative artifacts.

  • design of the teacher-facilitated, student-created personal learning environment
  • The teacher was a facilitator in the process helping the student scaffold network learning and manage the content as it became more complex.
  • Construction of a personal learning environment does not necessarily facilitate comprehension or deep understanding
  • The networked student model is one of inquiry, or the process of "exploring problems, asking questions, making discoveries, achieving new understanding and fulfilling personal curiosity"
  • In guided inquiry, the teacher provides the problem and directs the students to the materials for investigation
  • The teacher is necessary to help the students navigate the breadth of content, apply the tools properly, and offer support in the form of digital literacy skills and subject matter expertise. Yet the teacher may not be the only expert in the learning process.
  • The test case for this model took place at a K-12 independent school in the southeastern United States. Fifteen students participated during a nine-week term as part of a contemporary issues research project. The contemporary issues course was unique to the school in its delivery. It was the first time a blended format had been offered. Students attended class three days face to face and two days online. Course assignments and discussions were organised using Moodle,
  • For the networked student project, each student selected a contemporary issue or topic for which he or she had a strong interest
  • Passion for a topic was one means of motivation
  • assessment of each student's ability to synthesise the research
  • The networked student test
  • It addresses the problem of determining the level of structure needed to facilitate networked learning while providing a foundation for greater student control over a personal learning environment
  • to collect student perceptions of the learning experience relative to their autonomy and comfort with the networked learning format
  • two key considerations when introducing the Networked Student Model. The first was student familiarity with web applications used to build the personal learning environment.
  • Second, considerably more structure was required since this was the first time each student embarked on the Networked Student Model.
  • The teacher gauged the level of structure depending upon the student's motivation, comfort with technology, and interest in the topic.
  • Patterns for networked learning
  • The learning environment slowly shifted from the classroom to online.
  • Google is used repeatedly because signing up for one account gave students access to a number of useful learning tools.
  • The level of structure is adjusted based on the prior experience of individual students.
  • Student activitylevel of structure
  • Personal learning environment toolset
  • a new tool was introduced each day over two weeks.
  • personal web page aggregators
  • iGoogle, PageFlakes, NetVibes, and Symbaloo
  • Personal web page compiles learning tools
  • There were four components of the assessment process for this test case of the Networked Student Model: (1) Ongoing performance assessment in the form of weekly assignments to facilitate the construction and maintenance of the personal learning environment, (2) rubric-based assessment of the personal learning environment at the end of the project, (3) written essay, and (4) multimedia synthesis of topic content.
  • Identify ten reliable resources and post to social bookmarking account. At least three new resources should be added each week. Subscribe and respond to at least 3 new blogs each week. Follow these blogs and news alerts using the reader. Subscribe to and listen to at least two podcasts (if available). Respectfully contact and request a video conference from a subject matter expert recognised in the field. Maintain daily notes and highlight resources as needed in digital notebook. Post at least a one-paragraph reflection in personal blog each day.
  • At the end of the project, the personal learning environment was assessed with a rubric that encompassed each of the items listed above.
  • The student's ability to synthesise the research was further evaluated with a reflective essay.
  • The personal blog provided an opportunity for regular reflection during the course of the project.
  • Students were instructed to articulate what was learned about the selected topic and why others should care or be concerned.
  • As part of a final exam, the students were required to access the final projects of their classmates and reflect on what they learned from this exposure
  • to give the students an additional opportunity to share and learn from each other.
  • Creativity is considered a key 21st century skil
  • A number of emerging web applications support the academic creative process
  • Students in this project used web tools to combine text, video, audio, and photographs to teach the research topics to others. The final multimedia project was posted or embedded on the student's personal wiki page.
  • The student-selected topics of study included
  • Video conferences were conducted with
  • All students participated in the video conferences and identified subject matter expertise as a key element of a personal learning environment.
  • Four key areas were targeted to assess the success of the project and determine whether an effective balance between teacher control and student autonomy was achieved:
  • Creation of the personal learning environment as a replacement for a traditional textbook
  • Student use of technology to complete projects was identified as important because the students had little prior exposure to technology as a learning tool.
  • Time management and workload were tangible measures of comparison from the student's perspective and indicated his or her ability to self regulate the learning process.
  • Student perception of whether he or she felt equipped to study other topics in this format with less teacher intervention provided some indication as to whether greater student autonomy was achieved

      La Univ. requiere cambios en 2 dominios: 1.- modelo de pedagogía (cómo se lleva a cabo el aprendizaje) y sustituirlo por el nuevo modelo de 'Aprendizaje colaborativo', y 2.- el modelo de producción de contenidos (producción colaborativa de K). Solo así la Univ. tiene la posibilidad de sobrevivir e incluso de desarrollarse vigorosamente en una economía global en RED.
  • First we need to toss out the old industrial model of pedagogy (how learning is accomplished) and replace it with a new model called collaborative learning. Second we need an entirely new modus operandi for how
  • (the content of higher education) are created.
  • Collaborative Learning: Reinventing Pedagogy
  • In the industrial model of student mass production, the teacher is the broadcaster
  • "In collaborative classrooms, the lecturing/listening/note-taking process may not disappear entirely, but it lives alongside other processes that are based in students' discussion and active work with the course material."
  • Collaborative learning has as its main feature a structure that allows for student talk
  • With technology, it is now possible to embrace new collaboration models that change the paradigm
  • This is not about distance learning
  • Rather, this represents a change in the relationship between students and teachers in the learning process.
  • Collaborative Learning Is Social Learning.
  • we need to focus not on what we are learning but on how we are learning
  • instead of starting from the Cartesian premise of 'I think, therefore I am,' . . . the social view of learning says, 'We participate, therefore we are.'"

  • However, the web enables social learning in other ways as well.
  • Collaborative Learning Embraces Discovery.
  • "The scandal of education is that every time you teach something, you deprive a [student] of the pleasure and benefit of discovery."14
  • Students need to integrate new information with the information they already have — to "construct" new knowledge structures and meaning.
  • Today, every college and university student has at his or her fingertips the most powerful tool for discovery, for constructing knowledge, and for learning.

      el nuevo modelo de educación debe adecuarse a la generación actual de estudiantes: inteligentes, impacientes, colaborativos y que rechazan las lecciones en una sola dirección. Quieren aprender, pero solo aquello que tengan que aprender, y desean aprender en un estilo que es el mejor para ellos'

      Hacia una emergente Red Global de Aprendizaje superior (Meta-universidad), a lo largo de 5 etapas: 1.- Intercambio de contenidos de cursos 2.- Colaboración en contenidos de cursos 3.- Co-innovación de contenidos de cursos 4.- Co-creación de K 5.- Conexión Aprendizaje colaborativo
  • The university needs to open up, embrace collaborative knowledge production, and break down the walls that exist among institutions of higher education and between those institutions and the rest of the world
  • To do so, universities require deep structural changes
  • in the open-access movement, we are seeing the early emergence of a meta-university
  • The Internet and the Web will provide the communication infrastructure, and the open-access movement and its derivatives will provide much of the knowledge and information infrastructure."
  • The emerging meta-university, built on the power and ubiquity of the Web and launched by the open courseware movement, will give teachers and learners everywhere the ability to access and share teaching materials, scholarly publications, scientific works in progress, teleoperation of experiments, and worldwide collaborations, thereby achieving economic efficiencies and raising the quality of education through a noble and global endeavor."17
  • For universities to succeed, we believe they need to cooperate to launch what we call the Global Network for Higher Learning
  • This network would have five stages or levels:
  • Level 1: Course Content Exchange
  • colleges and universities post their educational materials online, putting into the commons what would have traditionally been viewed as cherished and closely held intellectual property. MIT pioneered the concept with its OpenCourseWare initiative (http://ocw.mit.edu), and today more than 200 institutions of higher learning have followed suit.
  • Consider what a change this offers to a typical professor's life
  • Level 2: Course Content Collaboration
  • What higher education desperately needs is a social network — a Facebook for faculty.
  • Sharing materials is an important first step. But the course materials available freely online could also be constructed as a platform for users to collaborate and share experiences with the materials. As the Global Network for Higher Learning gains momentum, the volume of material being posted will become overwhelming, comprising not only text but also lecture notes, assignments, exams, videos, podcasts, and so on.
  • But it shouldn't be a standalone application; it should be integral to the Global Network for Higher Learning.
  • A little effort can yield large returns. For example
  • Level 3: Course Content Co-Innovation
  • the Wikimedia Foundation organized Wikiversity
  • The next level in the Global Network for Higher Learning goes beyond sharing and collaborating on course content to actually co-creating content. Professors can co-innovate new teaching material based on work already available and can then make this newly synthesized content available to the world.
  • For the ultimate course, teachers need more than course materials, of course. They need course software enabling students to interact with the content, supporting small group discussions, facilitating testing, and so on. Such software can be developed using the tried-and-true techniques and tools of the open-source software movement.
  • Sakai
  • Sakai.
  • Level 4: Knowledge Co-Creation
  • In the next level of the Global Network for Higher Learning, scholars move beyond course materials and collaborate to co-create all subject-matter-appropriate knowledge.
  • Knowledge from university-based research should be a public good.
  • Universities and academics need to embrace the Global Network for Higher Learning as the platform for collaboration in research, creation, communication, and exploitation of new knowledge. With the Global Network for Higher Learning, the current problems of academic journals would go away.
  • The traditional peer-reviewed academic journals would adopt a much more dynamic online process.
  • Level 5: Collaborative Learning Connection
  • How can we network the world's higher education institutions to go beyond the production of knowledge to the consumption of that knowledge by learners?
  • The 21st-century university will be a network and an ecosystem — not a tower — and educators need to get going on the partnerships to make this work for students.
  • Reinvention or Atrophy
  • he combination of the Internet, the new generation of learners, the demands of the global knowledge economy, and the shock of the current economic crisis is creating a perfect storm for universities, and the storm warnings are everywhere.
  • As the model of pedagogy is challenged, inevitably the revenue model of universities will be too.
  • Many will argue: "But what about credentials?
  • Others will argue: "What about the campus experience?
  • If institutions want to survive the arrival of free, university-level education online, they need to change the way professors and students interact on campus.
  • How, then, can universities reinvent themselves, rather than atrophy? What are the steps to be taken?
  • Adopt Collaborative Learning As the Core Model of Pedagogy.
  • Professors who want to remain relevant will have to abandon the traditional lecture and start listening to and conversing with students — shifting from a broadcast style to an interactive one
  • Professors should encourage students to discover for themselves and to engage in critical thinking instead of simply memorizing the professor's store of information. Finally, professors need to tailor the style of education to their students' individual learning styles.
  • The Internet and the new digital platforms for learning are critical to all of this, especially given the high student-faculty ratio in many universities.
  • Collaboratively Produce Higher Education Content and Knowledge by Launching the Global Network for Higher Learning.
  • Right now, universities around the world are embracing level one — course content exchange — of the Global Network for Higher Learning. But they need to move further in the next four levels.
  • Content should be multimedia — not just text. Content should be networked and hyperlinked bits — not atoms. Moreover, interactive courseware — not separate "books" — should be used to present this content to students, constituting a platform for every subject, across disciplines, among institutions, and around the world.
  • Build New Revenue and Collaboration Models between Higher Education Institutions to Break Down the Silos between Them.
  • we will need to build a collaborative revenue model and a new structure of transfer pricing.
  • Change Incentive Systems to Reward Teaching, Not Just Research.
  • If universities are to become institutions whose primary goal is the learning by students, not faculty, then the incentive systems will need to change. Tenure should be granted for teaching excellence and not just for a publishing record.
  • How can this be done?
  • Build the Infrastructure for 21st-Century Higher Education.
  • a new kind of infrastructure is required to realize the University 2.0.
  • The world needs a "Digital Marshall Plan."
  • Where is the University 2.0?
  • A powerful force to change the university is the students.
  • The Industrial Age model of education is hard to change. New paradigms cause dislocation, disruption, confusion, uncertainty. They are nearly always received with coolness or hostility. Vested interests fight change. And leaders of old paradigms are often the last to embrace the new.
  • Changing the model of pedagogy and the model of knowledge production is crucial for the survival of the university

shared by Enrique Rubio Royo on 18 Mar 10 - Cached
  • The Web is a non-linear environment which opens up potential for new approaches to learning and teaching, approaches which in many ways more closely approximate naturalistic and authentic approaches to learning. Yet a large proportion of online courses which have been developed in higher education represent conversions of print-based resources into Web-based delivery formats, the majority of which have replicated traditional linear and directive pedagogy. Such development represents something of a ‘miss-match’, not only to the online teaching environment but to the emergent learning approaches of a younger generation who are ‘at home’ with the online environment. This paper discusses the benefits of maintaining complexity and non-linearity in online learning with reference to the development of one tertiary course in computer education for pre-service teachers. The theory of complexity is briefly explored and its relevance to online teaching and learning is highlighted. An action research undertaking conducted over a four year period is drawn upon to illustrate the importance of future teachers understanding and experiencing non-linear and complexity-based online learning, and the metacognitive processes that can support adult learners to adapt to such an environment.

      La Web es un entorno no lineal que abre posibilidades para nuevos enfoques para la enseñanza y el aprendizaje, enfoques que en muchos aspectos se aproximan más planteamientos naturalistas y auténticos para el aprendizaje. Sin embargo, una gran proporción de los cursos en línea que se han desarrollado en la educación superior representan la conversión de recursos basado en papel a formatos de distribución Web, la mayoría de los cuales han replicado la pedagogía tradicional lineal y jerárquica. Tal desarrollo representa una especie de 'miss-match', no sólo para el entorno de enseñanza en línea, sino para a los enfoques de aprendizaje emergentes de una generación más joven que están "en casa" con el entorno en línea. Este artículo discute los beneficios de mantener la complejidad y la no linealidad en el aprendizaje en línea en relación con el desarrollo de un curso superior en la enseñanza de informática de los futuros profesores. La teoría de la complejidad se analizan brevemente y su relevancia para la enseñanza y el aprendizaje en línea se resaltará. Una tarea de investigación-acción realizada durante un período de cuatro años se aprovechará para ilustrar la importancia de que los futuros docentes entiendan y experimenten el aprendizaje en línea no lineal y basado en la complejidad, y los procesos metacognitivos que pueden apoyar a los estudiantes adultos a adaptarse a tal ambiente

      Pensar de manera sitémica (brecha actual de la complejidad) requiere cambiar la manera mediante la cuál percibimos las cosas, las diferentes situaciones, el mundo. A su vez, dicho cambio en la manera de percibir las cosas que nos rodean, nos conducirá a enseñar de forms diferente, a organizar de manera distinta las instituciones y hasta la propia soociedad. Una mentalidad distinta, o mejor dicho una percepción distinta del mundo que te rodea.

      La naturaleza nos enseña que todo en el mundo está conectado a otras cosas. Un SISTEMA es un conjunto de elementos interrelacionados que constituyen un todo unificado. Cosas individuales, comop plantas, personas, escuelas, rios, o economías, son en si mismos sistemas y al mismo tiempo NO pueden ser completamente comprendidos separados de otros sistemas mas grandes en los que existen.

  • There are lots of ways that search will need to evolve in order to easily meet user needs.
  • how search might change over the next 10 years.
  • In the next 10 years, we will see radical advances in modes of search: mobile devices offering us easier search, Internet capabilities deployed in more devices, and different ways of entering and expressing your queries by voice, natural language, picture, or song, just to name a few. It’s clear that while keyword-based searching is incredibly powerful, it’s also incredibly limiting. These new modes will be one of the most sweeping changes in search.
  • ...20 more annotations...
  • Modes
  • Media
  • The media of the results matters.
  • Yet our presentation is still very linear (the results are just a list) and even (no one result is more important or larger than the next).
  • it’s an important first step to exploring the full range of what we can do with rich media.
  • The face of search will change dramatically over the next 10 years. Maybe it should contain even more videos and images, maybe it should sharply differentiate the relative weight and accuracy of the results more, maybe it should be more interactive in terms of refinements?
  • Personalization
  • search engines of the future will be better in part because they will understand more about you, the individual user
  • Maybe the search engines of the future will know where you are located, maybe they will know what you know already or what you learned earlier today, or maybe they will fully understand your preferences because you have chosen to share that information with us.
  • Location
  • Your location is one potentially useful facet of personalized information
  • Since location is relevant to a lot of searches, incorporating user location and context will be pivotal in increasing the relevance and ease of search in the future.
  • Social
  • Another element of personalization is social context.
  • There’s a lot of expertise, knowledge, and context in users’ social graphs, so putting tools in place to make “friend-augmented" search easy could make search more efficient and more relevant.
  • Language
  • We know there are cases where an answer exists on the web, but not in a language you read. This is why Google is investing in machine translation. We want to be able to unlock the power of web search for anyone speaking any language. The basic concept is – if the answer exists online anywhere in any language, we’ll go get it for you, translate it and bring it back in your native tongue.
  • Conclusion
  • Search is a 90-10 problem. Today, we have a 90% solution
  • that remaining 10% of the problem really represents 90% (in fact, more than 90%) of the work

  • The purpose of this paper is to outline some of the thinking behind new e-learning technology, including e-portfolios and personal learning environments. Part of this thinking is centered around the theory of connectivism, which asserts that knowledge - and therefore the learning of knowledge - is distributive, that is, not located in anygiven place (and therefore not 'transferred' or 'transacted' per se) but rather consists of the network of connections formed from experience and interactions with a knowing community. And another part of this thinking is centered around the new, and the newly empowered, learner, the member of the net generation, who is thinking and interacting in new ways. These trends combine to form what is sometimes called 'e-learning 2.0' -an approach to learning that is based on conversation and interaction, on sharing, creation and participation, on learning not as a separate activity, but rather, as embedded in meaningful activities such as games or workflows.
