  • Globalisation
    • Leon Cych
       
      Perhaps could do with a bit more explanation. Is this a specifc term in this context. I'd see it as something else in learning...
  • In some organizations
    • Leon Cych
       
      What about more distributed less country centric models of employment and I don't mean call centres i.e. web 2.0 new startups that employ people globally? Like Seesmic , for instance - any figures/ evidence on those?
  • context aware
    • Leon Cych
       
      Are we talking about the Semantic web or Web 3.0 here? I'm not sure this is specific enough...
  • dispersed
    • Leon Cych
       
      Dospersed or distributed?
  • ICT was most frequently used for learning in those enterprises with flatter hierarchies and more devolved decision talking responsibilities and in which employees had greater autonomy in the organisation of their own work. Interestingly, these enterprises also tended to have a more experienced workforce and low turnover of employees
    • Leon Cych
       
      Now that is very interesting
  • either face to face in the workplace or on-line
    • Leon Cych
       
      But perhaps down the pub :)
  • he study showed learning was more likely to take place in organisations with less hierarchical structures and where workers had more responsibility for their own work.
    • Leon Cych
       
      Again really interesting
  • is becoming part of a formal employment requirement
    • Leon Cych
       
      But interestingly at a recent consultation I went to involving the TDA and the new Masters in Teaching and Learning there was no evidence of awareness of the role of use of technology to aid reflectivity...

      serendipitous - accident sounds like they fell over it which they possibly did :)
  • video conferencing
    • Leon Cych
       
      Maybe this might be renamed after Google's introduction of video into email? More ubiquitous than ever before for those who sign up to a gmail account and have some form of webcam built in.
  • unproblematic
    • Leon Cych
       
      What about the phenomenon of teachers working together informally to use these devices whilst teaching amongst each other globally - any reserch been done on that?
  • stimulating and rewarding
    • Leon Cych
       
      Providing there is a flat enough environment for this to happen...perhaps
  • learning to the state
    • Leon Cych
       
      But what about the trend where there is a cultural conflict by distance - and workers have to be schooled in cultural norms of the country they are servicing to get it right otherwise consumers in host countries reject this.
  • by an
  • system,
  • ambiguous and often hostile
    • Leon Cych
       
      Might be worth exploring this more - why - what are the causes of the hostility or is it merely dependency on outmoded systems rather than hostility - a reluctance to engage with cultural change due to being institutionalised - dunno...
  • oung people
  • Facebook
  • the privatization of education has seemed possible
    • Leon Cych
       
      ???
  • The idea of integrating personal learning and working environments
    • Leon Cych
       
      What research, if any, has ben done into the way individuals organise themselves in a more distributed environment - the individual "nodes" and how some "nodes" are more active than others ...
  • nteract with peer groups and communities of practice through the internet
    • Leon Cych
       
      OK answers some of my last question
  • learning spaces
    • Leon Cych
       
      and learner groupings perhaps?
  • costumer
  • reality of experience.
    • Leon Cych
       
      What about global peer to peer aspect?
  • It also implies a new culture of active and autonomous collective learning to be encouraged, valued and recognized in and outside the workplace
    • Leon Cych
       
      So what defines and binds these new communities?
  • Possible Futures
    • Leon Cych

"The Future of ePortfolio" Roundtable | Academic Commons - 1 views

  • ntellectual/philosophical tension around how we open the door for creativity by students
  • How can we use ePortfolio for assessment without losing the flavor and the creativity that brought many of us into the movement?
  • I don’t see institutional assessment as separate from student self-assessment
  • ...13 more annotations...
  • commitment to link student self-assessment with institutional improvement
  • ePortfolio is an outcome, generated by an institution-wide commitment to fostering students’ identities as learners and professionals
  • it really is about organizational change
  • not to start with student deficiencies but with student competencies. That’s a key ePortfolio idea. As educators, we’ve so often focused on deficiencies. But we can start with competencies: what students already know.
  • ocus on learning and integrative learning
  • prior censorship. That doesn’t fit. Prior censorship is when we say: this is the syllabus, these are the four walls, and you follow my path
  • ePortfolios; it’s about your students becoming successful
  • ePortfolios, such as collecting evidence of learning, organizing it, reflecting on it, receiving feedback, and planning for future learning and personal development.
  • ePortfolio is about: learning with and from our students
  • you don’t get to pull out your lecture notes you’ve been teaching from for the last twenty-five
  • ou have to change what you’re doing. Every time you go to back to the classroom it’s new. It’s different. It’s evolving
  • emphasis on ePortfolio for learning and transformation.
  • It’s so important to educate the whole person, not just someone who meets our graduation requirements.

    How can we use ePortfolio for assessment without losing the flavor and the creativity that brought many of us into the movement?

Need Help Building Your Personal Learning Network (PLN)? | The Edublogger - 0 views

  • Personal Learning Networks (PLNs) are all about using web tools such as blogs, wiki, twitter, facebook to create connections with others which extend our learning, increases our reflection while enabling us to learn together as part of a global community
  • PLNs increase our opportunities to ask questions and receive help compared to our normal daily face-to-face interactions
  • It’s really important that we use these tools first for our own personal learning so that we can understand how to use them with our students.

EAEA - Innovation in learning through ICT - new challenges - 0 views

shared by cristina costa on 18 Dec 08 - Cached
  • The impact of ICT on education and training is visible, but not as great as it could be. The extent to which businesses and public services have been transformed through ICT is not yet reflected in educational systems;
  • Embedding ICT in education and training systems requires changes across the pedagogical, technological and organisational settings
  • The potential for ICT to help develop a 'learning continuum' between formal, informal and workplace learning is clear and has to be built upon
  • ...3 more annotations...
  • developing innovative learning approaches, including them in curricula and supporting them through teaching guidelines and teacher training;
  • adapting assessment methods and quality standards to the actual learning needs in education systems, and exploiting innovative learning resources such as open educational resources
  • building on the widespread use of digital devices and tools as an opportunity to foster the creative and critical use of ICT for learning and teaching.

I Am a Slow Blog : Ruminate - 0 views

  • There’s a bit of magic in the process where wholes become more than the sum of their parts and tools and creativity are melded.
  • I just want to make sure we don’t forget that these characteristics are driven by our behavior, not the tools we use, which remain inert whether we sleepwalk through their use or not.
  • All the study in the world won’t produce a painting by itself, so figuring out the tools is necessary. But the end result is mostly interesting without any knowledge of the brand of paint, the weight of the canvas, or even the particular tools used to transfer paint from the palette.

  • Slow blogging is mindful wandering is meditative reflection is an attempt to face the fear, to take a stab at the heart, take responsibility and risk, and in the process create a gift of immense value to others, a manifestation of our particular truth.
  •  
    Slow blogging makes sense to me because it's about practice in both the traditional and meditative senses of the term. It's about going deep and connecting, but maintaining a powerful mental stillness in which we can really hear the world around us: the whispers, the wind, and the sound of our own thinking.

  • It doesn't matter when you learn it, so long as you learn it. A student’s grade should reflect her current understanding of the course, not last month’s, not her understanding when it was convenient for me to assess her. Keep a loose grip on your students' grades. My assessment policy needs to direct my remediation of your skills. My comprehensive test on "Twelfth Night" won't do much for us two months down the road when you come in looking to patch yourself up. Assign separate scores to "Twelfth Night Themes," "Twelfth Night Vocabulary," and "Twelfth Night [whatever else it is you English teachers do]," scores which can be targeted and remediated individually. My assessment policy needs to incentivize your own remediation. How many students will put in the effort to remediate their skills if the reward isn't tangible and immediate? Traditionally, what do you have? The promise that your studying here at lunch is really gonna pay off on the next test? Which is in three weeks. The student's like, awesome, glad I came in.

      Great way to view assessment. He has many posts on assessment if you haven't read it yet.

Vanderbilt Center for Teaching: Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL) - 8 views

  • In an effort to define the scholarship performed by professors in academia as more than just "teaching versus research," Ernest L. Boyer, in his influential book Scholarship Reconsidered: Priorities of the Professoriate (Carnegie Foundation, 1990), concluded that "the work of the professoriate might be thought of as having four separate, yet overlapping, functions.
  • Randy Bass, director of the Visible Knowledge Project (VKP), described the SoTL projects initiated by the participants in VKP. Their central questions were "How did they know that their students were learning?" and "Did the students' learning promise to last?" He writes, "By asking these questions, many faculty discovered early on that what most interested—or eluded—them about their student's learning could not be answered simply by looking at regularly assigned course work."

      Educating parents is essential
  • The district works regularly with faculty members to explain its acceptable use policy and help them understand how to apply the policy in their classrooms. These lessons have a trickledown effect; when a student violates the AUP for the first time, teachers use the experience as a teachable moment, dissecting the incident and reflecting back on where the student erred.

Martin Dougiamas Keynote at Moodlemoot Canada | Some Random Thoughts - 0 views

  • Martin Dougiamas presented the keynote at the Canadian Moodlemoot in Edmonton.
  • Martin updated us with the current stats on Moodle 54,000 verified sites worldwide. 41 Million users 97 language packs (17 fully complete, the rest are in various states) 54 Moodle Partners who fund the project and its going very well ensuring the project will continue into the future. (such as Remote-Learner who I work for) USA still has the highest raw number of installations and Spain has half of that with much less population. Brazil is now 3rd in the world and has overtaken the UK now in total installs. 3 of the top 10 are English speaking per head of population, Portugal has the largest number of Moodle installations.
  • As many may have seen before, there are 10 steps of pedagogical usage of Moodle, which is outlined on Moodle Docs. It details the typical 10 step progression which looks like: Putting up the handouts (Resources, SCORM) Providing a passive Forum (unfacilitated) Using Quizzes and Assignments (less management) Using the Wiki, Glossary and Database tools (interactive content) Facilitate discussions in Forums, asking questions, guiding Combining activities into sequences, where results feed later activities Introduce external activities and games (internet resources) Using the Survey module to study and reflect on course activity Using peer-review modules like Workshop, giving students more control over grading and even structuring the course in some ways Conducting active research on oneself, sharing ideas in a community of peers

  •  ”a lot of people find that giving students the ability to teach is a valuable learning process” – Martin Dougiamas.
  • A lot of people want that secure private place in the LMS with big gates, with students needing to gain competencies and knowledge.  Many people really want this “Content Pump” focus, becuase it is what they need. Others use it as a community of practitioners, connected activities, content created by students and teachers alike and many methods of assessment. These are the two ends of the spectrum of usage.
  • Moodle has two roles: to be progressive and integrate with things coming up, and a drag and drop UI, with innovate workflows and improve media handling and mobile platforms to be conservative and improve  security and usability and assessment , accredition, detailed management tracking and reports and performance and stability
  • Since Moodle 1.9 came out three years ago,  March 2008 and most are still using the three year old code which has had fixes applied since then (1.9.11 is the current release.) The support for 1.9 will continue until the middle of 2012 as it is understood that it will be a big move to Moodle2.   “If you are going to Moodle2, you may as well go to Moodle 2.1 as it is better with 6 months more work” .
  • However, the ongoing support for each release will be 1 yr moving to the future. Moodle will be released every 6 months which enables the organisations to plan their upgrade times ahead of time.
  • What will be in Moodle 2.1? Performance Restore 1.9 backups Quiz/question refactor Page course format Interface polishing Official Mobile app (there now is a Mobile division)
  • HQ are working on an official app which uses Moodle 2 built-in web services. This provides a secure access to the data in Moodle 2 for people who have accounts in Moodle which greatly benefits mobile apps.
  • Moodle HQ has looked at what is Mobile really good at and identified them one by one and implemented them.  This includes messaging, list of participants in your course, marking attendence (in class roll call). This will be for the iPhone first and then someone will make it for Android so it will lag behind, but will be the same.
  • What is going to happen in 2.2 and beyond?
  • Grading and Rubrics Competency Tracking (from activity level, course level, outside courses to generate a competency profile) Assignment (planning to combine all 4 into one type and simplify it) Forum (big upgrade probably based on OU Forum) Survey (to include feedback/questionnaire – being rewritten currently) Lesson Scorm 2 Improved reporting IMS LTI IMS CC (although it is in 1.9 needs to be redone)
  •  
    An important overview for any one using Moodle, especially useful for those contemplating an upgrade to 2.0 .  (I'll make the move when we have 2.1 or 2.2.)

The future of Schools - 0 views

  •  
    Ask the average adult to describe a school and you are likely to get similar responses. There will be a focus on the places and spaces in which their education occurred, the teachers who taught, the rows of desks, the daily schedule of classes and breaks. But what is the future of schools?

The Joy of Teaching - 0 views

  •  
    For teachers in Australia the year is drawing rapidly to a close. It is a time for packing away classrooms, taking down displays of student learning and saying farewell to students as they move on to new classes. At the ending of one year it is worth taking a moment to ponder what is so remarkable about teaching as a profession.
