  • Chris Jobling on 07 Nov 13
     
    "This webinar presents a view of digital literacy through a discussion of E-learning and Digital Cultures (known as EDCMOOC), a Massive Open Online Course offered in January 2013 by the University of Edinburgh in partnership with Coursera. The profusion of multimodal artefacts produced in response to the EDCMOOC will provide a number of examples with which to explore sociomaterialism in relation to literacy practices online. It will be suggested that this work constitutes a set of sociomaterial entanglements, in which human beings and technologies each play a part. By looking at these examples, we will suggest that sociomaterial multimodality offers a different way of thinking about digital literacy: not as a set of representational practices, but rather as complex enactments of knowledge, specific to particular contexts and moments." What does this even mean? This is a sample of the language of #edcmooc and it's a barrier to entry.

    I started the theory related reading today and really enjoyed Professor Daniel's 'Technology is the Answer: What was the Question?' I made a blog post about it which I invite you to visit:  http://krustelkrammoocs.blogspot.de/2013/01/technology-is-answer-what-was-question.html You will find Sugata Mitra's TED Talk: 'The child-driven education' about 'The Hole in the Wall' project mentioned by Professor Daniel and a great article about a more recent project by One Laptop per Child ('Given Tablets but No Teachers, Ethiopian Children Teach Themselves').  #edcmooc   #TED   #videos   #autodidactism #blogpost  #SugataMitra #onelaptopperchild

      I'd agree, but in some parts of the world, it is still a viable form of technology, compact and easy
  • four principles that you should apply to thought or action that involves information and communications technology
  • bias,
  • ...32 more annotations...
  • vendor bias has now got a firm grip on much of the public discourse about information and communications technology
  • be sceptical about assertions of the value of technology coming either from those who want to sell it to you or from their surrogates in political life
  • the suppression of research reports or evaluative studies that undermine the thesis that technology improves everything.

      Technology can make one feel very dissatisfied with life. When you know something better is out there, do you pine away for it feeling like it will make your life oh, so much easier?
  • bullshit
  • When we see a concept everywhere it is easy to suspend our critical faculties and assume it must be right
  • breadth
  • think broadly about technology in teaching and learning.
  • Technology always involves people and their social systems
  • Remember that there are many technologies: books, blackboard, film, radio, television, programmed learning and so on. The Internet has not made them obsolete
  • starts with teaching and attempts to use technology to expand the range and impact of the teacher
  • the remote classroom approach
  • the rest of the world had a different tradition
  • started on the other side of the coin, with learning, and used technology to create a good learning environment for the student wherever and whenever the student wanted to study.
  • We must strive for balance on a number of dimensions.
  • When we use technology are we using it to enhance learning or to enhance teaching?
  • Dimension number two means seeking balance in answer to the question: teaching and learning for what?
  • Open University students have an extensive range of online facilities available. Which ones do they use?
  • they like using the web for informational and administrative transactions.
  • communication between students
  • Online technologies can, of course, be useful for learning
  • two key virtues.
  • support active learning experiences
  • devising good active learning experiences is expensive because it requires lots of work by the teachers
  • notably by destroying old jobs and creating new ones.

      Please tell me something new. This is an idea that has perpetuated itself for centuries!The cotton gin destroyed the need to hand pick and clean cotton, It created the opportunity for the enslaved to have yet, another job.

      I hope you are being "cheeky" when you so easily type the words: "enslaved," "job," and "opportunity" in the same sentence. This clip and the full documentary may shed some light on the topic: http://video.pbs.org/video/2192491729
  • The best way to reach learners is to use technology that the learner already has.

      Okay, I'd agree with this one. Start where you are and move on. Too many institutions moan over the lack of "technology." If you have a computer, you have so many social media resources at your disposal IF you know how to access, use and apply them!
  • technology more for activities associated with their studies
  • rather than for the mainline work of studying course content. T
  • Why should we want to use technology? How should we use technology for learning and teaching? What are the basic principles? Who can benefit most from educational technology? Where should we apply it? Which technologies are best? More generally, how do you make judgements about the many claims that are made for technology?
  • illiteracy
  • In both cases technology is changing society, notably by destroying old jobs and creating new ones.
  • vendor bias

      The most effective softwares are the once licensed under Creative Commons and are open source. This gives great power and independence to institutions and individuals. It truly IS the way to avoid the pervasive pitfalls that software tycoons throw education in (costly updates, upgrade caps etc. ).

    Thanks to Rick B's recent Diigo share re: How will our future cities look? I found this project; syncs with what the EDCMOOC is enabling and encouraging participants to partake in.
