  • our education systems needs to change, but as Mark notes, the reason for that change is likely not to be found in "changing learners". Instead, in my eyes, we need to change education for two primary reasons:
  • 2) the changed ways in which we can access, interact with, and connect to each other.

      this fits nicely with what we were talking about today for Costa Rica

      Jeff - since George is going to be at UC08 perhaps we should have a discussion with him about some of the "social learning" that we are looking at for eP Costa Rica

  • free Web 2.0 technologies could be a threat to some of the commercial tools

      I don't tend to agree with this philosophy that mashing up of may web 2.0 tools cases a threat to commercial ePortfolios. In the design phase of eP 1.0 something that was paramount to our users was the ability to have one system under one roof and also be able to control access for the users at their institution. Combining many web 2.0 tools doesn't allow for either of these and will offer the end user and very disjoint experience.

  • Is the edupunk ideology saying that the use of social media in commercial learning management systems is an assault on the very philosophy of learning 2.0?Ideologies shouldn’t be rigid should they? Rather they should be adapted and used in pragmatic ways don’t you think? If you’re a trainer embracing learning 2.0, who gives a rats ass where it lives.
  • If you have a population of learners who have already adopted tools (such as blogging and social bookmarking) for themselves that are different than the corporate tool (the LMS) do you ask them to move?
  • If your population has not adopted a tool yet, do you have a responsibility to the individual to show them tools that can live beyond their engagement at the company?
  • ...1 more annotation...
  • I would claim that if you are talking about blogging as an ongoing learning and networking tool, then you are doing a disservice to learners if you show them only internal tools bundled with the LMS or any tool that is locked inside the walls of the corporation.

    It is interesting how there is a backlash against - or at least some concern about - LMS vendors incorporating web 2.0 type features into enterprise software.

  • Networks within academia will become embedded into the applications delivered from academia.
  • Just as Facebook grew though the academic community out to the masses, there will be a class of applications, with detailed knowledge of the needs of education, hosted within Universities, supporting teaching and learning and research, but integrating with distributed services from applications all over the internet.

  • In a recent conversation with the lead developer of Desire2Learn's new ePortfolio system (www.desire2learn.com), I was pleased to hear that the system, which offers infinite management combinations for content and permissions, can also present the user (student or faculty member) with ratcheted-down options and therefore a simpler interface. A user can be set up to use just a minimal essential set of options.

      The recent conversation was with Matt Fisher NOT a "lead developer" :)
  • Users still may not use Desire2Learn's ePortfolio system while they sit on a deck overlooking the water, but they at least have the option of a lower threshold for using it for their academic work.
