  • Yet there is another way - open learning, where the majority of the students interact online with the face-to-face course being taught in a more traditional manner. With this comes a chance to share in the knowledge being offered by a wide range of tutors, photographers and others in the industry.
  • "I'd had to rethink what my product was as a photographer - I'd grown up thinking it was my images, but digital cameras meant everyone was a potential image maker. So I had to think why it was that I'd been successful in the past and I found a number of strands which proved very fruitful. That's the stuff we talk about in class."
  • I realised the real thing of value was not the knowledge but the learning experience.

  • He uses Creative Commons licenses (CC) for his classes. "I'd always been an avid All Rights Reserved user but it just stopped making sense. The open classes can only work with a CC license, which was a big deal for the university because it turns out education establishment are avid All Rights Reserved users too. Much like me thinking I was just an image maker, the uni thought its product was 'knowledge' and their old business model relied on keeping a tight grip on that.
  • Worth's classes live on blogs and on Twitter (hashtag #phonar), and are proving a popular resource amongst photography enthusiasts and professionals alike.
  • accessible nature is appealing
  • list of contributors impressive.
  • Through my work with #phonar I have learnt the world is filled with lots of different people and we all think and learn differently. Coventry University has shown me it doesn't matter what disability you have, anything is possible.

  • It’s the thing that’s informing everything that I do.

      Finding that kernal of drive is important, and then reflecting on it .. even more important.
  • I realised in retrospect that people paid for the mode of delivery, never the mode of information.
  • This next paradigm shift is where the image is breaking away from the photograph

      Fascinating concept here ... and a way to look at the world of digital media, where concepts are breaking away from itself.

  • visual storyteller. One, I need to make something that you couldn’t make with a mobile phone. I could make a print that lasts 200 years for instance. Number two, I needed to be trusted and credible. And number three, I needed to be heard.
  • they’re also about locating yourself on the internet

      Social identity? Digital identity? Important concepts to teach and to understand, particularly with the sand shifting beneath our feet almost daily (it seems).

      Being part of online networks linked by passion or cause or course or anything else, can mean a long term supportive relationship with people but it takes time to learn how to do that, and it would help if it was taught explicitly to school students but in context.
  • Most of my students it turns out weren’t in the room, and I began to have quite close relationships with a number of them.
  • The class moves out of the classroom.

      Hello, open education!
  • What these people need is to be able to be trusted and to be heard, and these are the people that aren’t in the class.

      This makes me think about equity and access issues, for some reasons, and how to ensure that entry into learning is available for everyone. Certainly, that is the guiding ethos of open learning spaces, right?
  • a second paradigm shit at the moment
  • how do we propagate and sustain interest driven learning?

      Interesting choice of words--propagate.  There are lots of ways to propagate.  And like the biological world some of them are a real pain in the ass.  Take the pawpaw tree. Please.  In order to fruit (seed propagate) it has to have a very specific carrion fly to get into its flower (as I recall anyway, I am not a botanist, YMMV).  If it doesn't, then no fruit.  Luckily the tree also propagates rhizomatically.  So...in learning terms we need to be prepared for difficult propagation and easy propagation.  And these vary wildly from discipline to discipline.

    Jonathan responds to Mike, and we should annotate the response, right?
