connectivist media course design MOOC reflection

  • Somewhat later (like yesterday while sitting on a beach) it struck me that it’s another case of Korzybski’s line of the map not being the territory – the syllabus is not the class, the experience, but some representation of it.

      Very apt. I often find that syllabi I write are for external consumption. The students don't read them; they very much rely on the teacher for direction. The syllabus is a map for armchair travelers who will never visit the landscape and buildings in my courses.
  • I remain astounded that anyone with a fully functioning neocortex is talking seriously about MOOCs being some model of saving education when the word is each course rings up a tab of $250k (edx) or even more. What does an institution get for dropping a quarter of a million per course?

      There is no way that is sustainable. Edtech bubble.
  • Learning should never be an end game of an answer, but the quest, right?

      It's that word again: inquiry.

  • A cornerstone of the students work is a weekly summary of their work as a blog post on their blog. It was Martha’s idea that we require them to enter that as a URL in Canvas to document their assignment work for the week. I still am in favor of this approach- I get a snapshot of their blog at the time of submission, I can review and give some grade, and students get a better measure of where they stand. I can comment there on things might not do on their blog, and it makes the final grading really straight forward. The downside is I have a glut of work, since 90% of their blogging happens in the last 2 days of the week. I read easily over 1200 student blog posts this semester.

      People still forget that teaching online is often more work, not less. There is no magic efficiency or productivity gain that makes it easier.

  • digital applications for each category of remembering, understanding, applying, analyzing, evaluating and creating are suggested.

      This was one of the most influential readings I took away from the COETAIL course, too. It has stuck with me and continues to be a lens I evaluate my lessons through.
  • the aim of the course is not to teach these digital applications

      There is a fine balance here isn't there. On some level we want to use the best tools available for the ideas we have but on the other they can't become the focus.
  • this was not true--the materials handed out in class and on the wiki were different--a point they realized when they received below-passing scores the final test)

  • The Networked Educator workshop run by Kim Cofino and Chris Betcher was without a doubt the single best PD I have ever attended. (Adam, if you are reading this, please share it with Kim.)

  • this approach is fraught with many hiccups.

      I can appreciate this and at the same time can see that free applications like the google suite offer some potential solutions for frontrunners like you in the system. 
  • Students seem less likely to engage in independent learning related to a course outside of class and spend a very limited amount of time in preparation for classes.

      Occasionally I see the same pattern in even younger (middle school aged) students who come from the Japanese schools to international school. They can find a student centered approach quite inaccessible due to their limited skills as learners.

Shaping Tech: The Medium is the Message | Aaron Paulson's COETAIL Blog - 0 views

  • “If men learn this, it will implant forgetfulness in their souls; they will cease to exercise memory because they rely on that which is written, calling things to remembrance no longer from within themselves, but by means of external marks. What you have discovered is a recipe not for memory, but for reminder. And it is no true wisdom that you offer your disciples, but only its semblance, for by telling them of many things without teaching them you will make them seem to know much, while for the most part they know nothing, and as men filled, not with wisdom, but with the conceit of wisdom, they will be a burden to their fellows.”

      What a great quote for this course, Aaron! It speaks to the tension I, too, have felt between truly knowing something and knowing where to find it.
