    Hola Caceros, no dejes de revisar también la crítica que hace al artículo Dolores Dreig en su blog El caparazón.

    Hola Esteralipa...me gusto la critica de Dolores...muy acertada. El articulo tiene un error en su titulo porque se refiere mas a las aplicaciones que se usan para la web (red) que para mi es esa cosa eterea llena de software, hardware que unen las muchisimas redes en ese espagetti. Creo que lo unico que puede matar a la red es un colapso en la distribucion de Energia global y eso se podra discutir en un futuro cuando la red se autosoporte con solar power o energias alternativas. Matrix puede no estar tan lejos de lo que pensamos. En realidad la evolucion de los sistemas informaticos es sorprendente, como el articulo lo dijo cuando dijo que hace una decada los web browsers eran fundamentales...hoy en dia aunque creo que eso sigue siendo valido ya no son tan fundamentales...pueden ser sustituidos por otras aplicaciones y mas orientadas al servicio que se provee. No vayamos lejos....elluminate solo necesita de Java para correr....el navegador es para tener el link al software y ya. A mi me ha gustado mucho Elluminate ya lo he manifestado. Pero definitivamente estoy de acuerdo las web como red esta y estara mas viva cada vez. Es sucio que por atraer trafico se atrevan a hacer cosas asi...eso de generar sensacionalismo es equivalente a spam...ya lo mencionaba Diego hoy cuando hizo referencia en la sesion sincronica. Muchas gracias por tu sugerencia

  • While there might be a few people who can (and should) take advantage of open-source learning models, there are, I suspect, far more who can’t.
  • More important, I think, is the fact that concepts of open teaching and MOOCs marginalize the role of the teacher and the importance of the act – the art – of teaching.
  • teaching, for better or worse, is a corporeal activity that can’t be replicated with the suite of technologies to which we have access today. Until we find the tools that allow us to replicate the classroom experience in an online environment, MOOCs will remain simulacra, hollow and atonal echoes of what the educational process is really about

  • actually, education *is* an acquisitive process.
  • Learning, however, *is not* an acquisitive process. We learn constantly, experientially, socially. I can sit in a lecture hall for an hour and leave with a dramatically different understanding of a topic than the professor wanted me to have.
  • MOOCs, in contrast to traditional education, require engaged, active, and participative learners.
  • An open course requires students to comment, to create, and to engage with others. Passivity reduces the quality of learning as most learning occurs in the process of doing, creating, sharing, and dialoguing.
  • Social networked learning has a long history – information flows in social networks, parents teach their children, masters teach apprentices.

  • George Siemens, an open education theorist, author and professor thinks that the very fabric of what we understand as education needs to be pulled apart. “What if we completely altered the structure of what learning is?” Siemens asks. “And what if you started to challenge the notion of what a course is? How would a course be different if we were to design a course today.”
  • “The idea hasn’t really penetrated the mass mind yet. Universities aren’t calling me up to teach these classes, they’re asking him to come and talk about them because they’re curious,” says Downes. “The model has a core of people taking the class for credit but that core is working openly with a much larger body of people who are taking it out of interest.”
  • Are students and teachers better off when they open up the learning process and allow interested parties to participate? Can classrooms turn into a place where the contributions of all learners are mashed up into something that is greater than the whole? With our society becoming a more open and transparent one, why keep what happens within a classroom stuck within those walls?

  • Degrees are a statement of quality and a commentary on competence. The person hiring you doesn’t have to know your teacher or what kind of person you are. Instead, they just have to trust the system and the institution that grants the degree. While this scales up nicely it doesn’t necessarily mean that you can be a useful contributor to society.
  • Open accreditation is the recognition of the interplay between formal and informal learning. The recognition of informal learning is already embedded within the post-secondary institions of several provinces in Canada through prior learning assessment and recognition programs. This is a process that helps adults demonstrate and obtrain recognition for learning they have acquired outside of a formal educational setting. Open accreditation merely takes the idea to its logical conclusion
  • Degrees are recognition of what you did five-to-ten years ago, but your reputation is a recognition of what you’ve actually done and what you’re doing right now
  • Of all the open education principles this one is the furthest away from the mainstream. Institutions aren’t going to be rushing to scrap one of their most important metrics in how they receive funding. Businesses expect them and society at large probably isn’t ready for it. However, we have to start having these conversations in order to progress.
  • Of course, access to education is another powerful reason to examine these concepts. Making education accessible could be an incredibly powerful, democratizing force. Stephen Downes entered this field in order to make education accessible to anyone who wanted it. “The whole reason I’m in this field at all is to increase access to education. For all of recorded human history, education has been proprietary to those who can afford it and I think that is a longstanding injustice. I think we have the capacity and the technology to change that but we also have to change the models and this is an effort to change that model.”
