Between the By-Road and the Main Road: Bold Schools: Part I - Learner as Knowmad - 1 views

  •  
    When we conceive of learner as knowmad, the traditional roles assigned to teacher and student become less relevant, necessary, and linear.  The knowmad is mobile and learns with anybody, anywhere, anytime.  As such, the place we now know as school may be too small and perhaps unable to contain the range of learning engagements necessary for those with nomadic tendencies.  Rather, think of the extended community--one that is physical, virtual, and blended-- as potential learning spaces that our knowmadic traveler composes, accesses, participates in, abandons, and changes.

Public Engagement as Collateral Damage : The Digital Scholar: How Technology Is Transfo... - 1 views

  • ‘Public engagement’ involves specialists in higher education listening to, developing their understanding of, and interacting with non-specialists. The ‘public’ includes individuals and groups who do not currently have a formal relationship with an HEI through teaching, research or knowledge transfer.

      As exemplified by the currently difficult area of "public understanding of science", which is a very good example of where academics need to be engaging - not just science academics, but e.g. social science academics.

      While Amazon's long tail is visible, its dimensions ahve been subject to amendment: http://radar.oreilly.com/2005/08/amazons-long-tail-not-so-long.html Looks as if pareto may hold. I'm not aware of more up to date research.
  • This can be realised through specific projects, such as the OER projects many universities are initiating. However, long-tail models only work when there is sufficient content to occupy the tail. In order to achieve this scale of content in a sustainable manner, the outputs listed above need to become a frictionless by-product of the standard practice, rather than the outcomes of isolated projects.

      How does this work with ?increasing? marketisation of universities? Will the long tail contract?

  • In this chapter I have argued that we can view higher education as a long-tail content production environment. Much of what we currently aim to achieve through specific public engagement projects can be realised by producing digital artefacts as a by-product of typical scholarly activity. My intention is not to suggest that this is the only means of performing public engagement; for example, engaging with local schools works well by providing face-to-face contact with inspiring figures. As with other scholarly functions, some will remain, but the digital alternative not only allows for new ways of realising the same goals but also opens up new possibilities.

      I'm in two minds. I like what Martin says about public engagement as a by product as well as PE as a deliberate activity. But I don't think the long tail metaphor fits it.
