    Digital Writing Month is a (somewhat) insane month-long writing challenge, a wild ride through the world of digital writing, wherein those daring enough to participate wield keyboard and cursor to create digital projects of text, image, and/or sound in the thirty days of November. Modeled after the inspirational National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo), DigiWriMo asks writers to be creative not just with their words, but also with other digital media -image, video, and sound - and with what those media can do. We will work to redefine "writing" in the digital, and not confine it only to words, but open up the possibilities of narrative and exposition within multimedia and multimodal projects. Where that "writing" resides, what it looks like, how it interacts with other works and authors, is entirely up to the wild imaginings of each DigiWriMo participant. Writers may choose to collaborate with one another on a long piece, like a novel or collection. They may conspire, co-author, cooperate, collude, or even compete… Blog posts, Twitter essays, podcasts, music videos, wiki novels, a tv pilot co-authored in a Google Doc, slideshows, academic articles, massively co-authored poems, songs, and novels are all potential ways to cross the finish line. The point is to experiment, to push our boundaries and create, and to locate our creations on the web, in relationship with other creations, other words and other authors. You do it your way, whatever way that is, and we'll provide the applause.

      "Time" becomes different when you are in an open online space. While we might put time constraints around ideas (this Make Cycle, this Learning Cycle), a true open learning space would allow entry and exit, and re-entry, at any point in time. This doesn't always jive with university criteria (finish this during this semester or you get an incomplete!)

      This is so important -- that we are not writing into the wind ... that others are out there, connecting and sharing and asking questions, and pushing us to ask questions, too. When that part of a cMOOC fails, the entire endeavor is pointless. I see a course like CCourses as a place to launch from as much as dive into.

The Zeitgeist - 1 views

  • Businesses often want to see the ROI of something before committing to it. This is just a defence mechanism to ensure the status quo. If we keep the investment low enough, we don’t need to worry about the return on it. This allows for wide experimentation; not quick wins but quick losses.

      Tell the story of the zeitgeist.
  • I usually suggest that it does not matter what you do, just do something. Let people safely experiment. I suggested to a school board that they give $100 to every teacher to invest in whatever they wanted, without any direction. Teachers could buy something for their classrooms, or perhaps a number of them could pool their money and make a larger impact. The cost would be low. The impact would be wide. The possibilities would be greater than any central committee could plan.

shared by Terry Elliott on 08 Oct 14 - No Cached
  • o although I am one of the hosts/facilitators I am doubly a n00b in the connected courses sense - new to cMOOCs as well as new to course design. Which means I am thoroughly enjoying taking the plunge as a learner in all of this and muddling through the why of my teaching as I go.

      Love: 'our heterogenous whys'.
  • he other is the connected course that I am designing together with other DML colleagues.
  • there can’t be a singular why for connected courses
  • Even with different dispositions that pull in different directions, I like that connected courses is pushing us both into productive discomfort and growth.
  • ach facilitator brought a different angle and expertise, and we wanted to honor that and give people space to stretch out and develop their own whys.
  • For the mission statement, first there is the what:
  • he why more broadly
  • ur goal is to build an inclusive and expansive network of teachers, students, and educational offerings that makes high quality, meaningful, and socially connected learning available to everyone.
  • Our goal setting out was to provide a professional development opportunity for faculty who are setting out to teach a connected course
  • the why that we may have set out with as instigators of the course is not the why that all participants bring to the course.
  • And this is a feature of a connectivist experience that should be embraced.
  • every co-learner is facilitating by participating.
  • So if I take off the organizer hat, as a co-learner my personal why is that I want to experience and learn more about the cMOOC approach
  • Connected courses is my first time living through this kind of learning with my own professional community.
  • So as a learner, I guess at least some of my why tracks to the explicit learning goal that we set up as organizers when we started out.
  • newly emergent whys
  • building more ties between educational practice and research
  • I’m starting to geek out on engagement metrics for the course, and thinking through how we can track the cascading effects of an experience like connected courses as it influences educator practice and in turn shapes student experiences.
  • How can we better tell a story through research and evidence about why these kinds of connected learning experiences are important?
  • And can we mobilize our networks to tell this story in a way that supports the diverse collectives that are intersecting here?
  • issues that @mdvfunes and Jenny Mackness have raised on the “tyranny of the open” and the pressures of normative expectations of participation
  • it seems worthwhile to reflect on these more pervasive kinds of risks or exclusions, silencing and just feeling plain old overwhelmed
  • I like this idea of “heterotopia” that Ferreday and Hodgson suggest as a way of charting a pathway through these dynamics.
  • I may be idealistic about this, but I do think it is possible avoid the tyranny of the majority and support and value multiple forms of participation and the varied whys that each co-learner brings to this network.
