2.0 MOOC social web Twitter Facebook learning education

shared by alwaysaddglitter on 20 Jul 18 - No Cached
  • digital social tools and environments located outside of the provision of a formal university-provided Learning Management System.
  • We identified that, although some participants benefitted from social media by crediting it, for example, with networking and knowledge-sharing opportunities, others objected or refused to engage with social media, perceiving it as a waste of their time.
  • Social media sites are increasingly being used for educational purposes and a range of benefits and drawbacks have been documented in the research. We examine how the usage of social media in the MOOC enhanced participants’ overall learning experience and how it led to increased networking and knowledge sharing with peers.

  • When deployed for learning, social media can facilitate the development of online communities, allowing for collaborative and participatory engagement by placing emphasis on collective knowledge and social interaction
  • Social media can help strengthen the social relationships among students, heighten students’ self-esteem, and boost their learning performance
  • social media platforms tend to be more popular with students for peer-to-peer interactions (Davies et al. 2010; Veletsianos and Navarrete 2012) due to their familiarity and flexibility.
  • In MOOCs, where engagement and motivation tend to be low (de Freitas, Morgan, and Gibson 2015; Yang et al. 2013), social media may be beneficial in fostering online learning communities, which, in the context of a MOOC, are necessarily located online, enabled by an LMS (also referred to as Virtual Learning Environment) or social networking site.
  • The participants have a shared goal, support one another, produce material collaboratively, show a sense of belonging to the community, and are interested in the welfare of its members.
  • Online learning communities have been found to engage students in collaborative learning and reflective practice (Oliver et al. 2007).
  • Other studies show that students feel that social media reduces student collaboration because students work separately on different parts of a project, which minimises opportunities for collaborative learning
  • Students may feel that using social media in education distorts the boundaries between their online social and educational worlds, between social and informal and formal spaces, and between public and private spaces
  • Both students and academics may feel that social media for educational purposes interferes with their private lives, which raises concerns about representing identities in the online enviro
  • How and to what extent does social media enhance or complement participants’ overall learning processes and outcomes?’ is the key question that drives us to be particularly interested in investigating two outcomes
  • In addition to the structured LMS, more informal social media elements were offered. The CD MOOC designers selected Facebook and Twitter as social media platforms for participants to use, based on the studies that social media contributes to collaborative learning experiences
  • The Facebook group and the Twitter hashtag (#CDMOOC) were created in February 2014 to coincide with the beginning of the CD MOOC.

      The use of hashtags to organize thoughts and connect virtual users seems to be a best practice with online instruction related to social media.
  • On the Facebook group, moderators guided participants to ask questions about the CD MOOC, seek practical help, communicate and discuss issues around work tasks, and share links to online group work and resources. Twitter was used by both the CD MOOC team and participants to share practical information and resources, while also encouraging participants to share their thoughts and experiences.

      #EME6414 is structured relatively the same way minus the Facebook group but rather numerous other groups on various Web 2.0 tools
  • The social media postings data revealed that Facebook was most frequently used by the CD MOOC participants, compared to the microblogging site Twitter.
  • with some participants ‘signing off’ by displaying their certificate of completion.
  • The Twitter hashtag attracted 664 tweets over a 9-month period. Initially, Twitter was used by participants to announce their intention to participate in the CD MOOC, and then during the MOOC to gather, provide and exchange resources and information.
  • approximately half of all interviewees used at least one of the social media platforms in the CD MOOC. The most used form of social media was Facebook (used by 31%), a small minority (3%) used Twitter only, while 14% of interviewees utilised both Facebook and Twitter.
  • The Facebook group was used for discussions, while Twitter was used for gathering and providing information.
  • The first theme revealed that the online collaboration through social media assisted participants by enhancing their learning. The second theme showcased that many participants enjoyed and benefitted from using social media to engage with a diverse range of people with whom to network and exchange knowledge.
  • the third theme illuminated the reasons behind participants’ objections or reluctance to use social media within their structured online learning experience.
  • These participants reported various positive social aspects of their learning process enhanced by using Facebook, confirming other studies
  • Participants who used the CD MOOC Facebook group, but did not use Twitter, thought that social media was useful for posting and gathering information, and that Facebook improved their learning outcomes by facilitating discussion with peers and moderators. Facebook was also seen as an easy aid to increase learning and encourage discussions with peers as it facilitated the sharing of videos and images, and hence allowed participants to directly see others’ work. Facebook also served as a spark for a discussion, which could then be built upon within the more structured MOOC environment.
  • Both survey and interview participants spoke of the benefits of networking with people from different backgrounds, locations and professional affiliations when using social media platforms to connect and further their learning outcomes in the CD MOOC.
  • ‘collaborating with participants worldwide made it a great cultural experience, particularly in seeing how social media is taking on the world’.
  • The main objections to using social media can be divided into three categories: a belief that social media might be a waste of time; the perception of social media platforms as confusing or intimidating; and concerns about blurring social and professional identities.
  • these participants believed that social media would ‘take time away’ from what could otherwise have been spent on the structured parts of the CD MOOC,
  • Meanwhile, a number of participants wanted to use the social media with which they were familiar and comfortable. Some of these participants were notably less enthusiastic about the use of CourseSites LMS of the CD MOOC, instead preferring to spend time on social media.
  • learners often prefer to use the social media to which they are already accustomed
  • Another objection by participants related to their lack of knowledge about social media platforms and their resulting confusion.
  • A third key objection of participants to engaging with the social media elements of the CD MOOC dealt with reluctance about what was perceived as a potential merging of professional and social identities
  • The reluctance to blur social and professional identities is a common theme emerging from the literature on online learners and MOOC participants
  • Based on their findings, Jones et al. (2010) recommend that learning design address individual student preferences to either combine or separate their online identities.
  • The benefits included enhancing learning through the social and informal interaction with their peers, and from the online communities that formed around the CD MOOC. Connecting with peers using social media also strengthened participants’ sense of belonging to the CD MOOC cohort.
  • The challenges of online learning include becoming skillful in and comfortable with new technology, developing ways to relate to and communicate with other learners online, and becoming comfortable about having an online presence and digital identity.

    Hi Alyn! You must have been in Dr. Dennen's Web 2.0 class! Great to see you. I know ths is a slow response, but our organization has looked at Articulate. I have no experience with it, but it sounds like an awesome course developer tool... I hope you are doing great!
  • Gale Allbritton on 30 Jun 13
     
    Hi Alyn, Articulate is a fantastic product. I have used Articulate Studio for several years now and find the interface easy, the output quality very good, and the on demand learning features such as tutorials and group blogs exceptional. The product is also very affordable. You don't need to know flash or html to be able to use Articulate. It works as an add-in to PowerPoint, but you can also encode video, create interactive learning components and develop quizzes within the software. In addition to being able to develop content, you can publish it to an LMS or Articulate has their own e-learning hosting service for those who don't need to full scope of an LMS. Articulate Storyline is a new product that has tempted me. It works outside the PowerPoint environment and allows the creation of standalone online instructional content with many different types of interactive objects. Storyline takes the Studio I have been using up a notch. While I have no experience with Storyline, I would recommend you at least try the free trial they offer. Based on my previous experience with Articulate Studio, I think you will be very pleased with the product.

Can you copyright the content you make with generative AI? | Descript - 6 views

AI ChatGPT intellectualproperty authorship ownership

shared by msoichot on 24 Jun 23 - No Cached
msoichot and s_jian liked it
  • because you can’t predict exactly what a generative AI tool will create, you can’t copyright it.
  • The Copyright Office equated the text prompts to telling an artist about an idea you have for a painting, then trying to copyright the work after they paint it.
  • That makes sense if all you provided the artist was ideas, because ideas are not protectable and the painter did the creative work that gives them “authorship,”
  • ...9 more annotations...
  • Lisa says she would’ve expected the Copyright Office to focus more on the nature of the inputs
  • how much human involvement does a creator have to exert over a machine to claim ownership of its output? 
  • This isn’t the first time the legal system has wrestled with that question. It first came up when cameras were invented; the argument then was that you couldn’t protect a photograph as your own, since the machine was the one capturing the image.
  • The Copyright Office, surprisingly, introduced this predictability standard instead.
  • He used the amusing analogy of Jackson Pollock, who made his art by flinging paint around and seeing what happened; nobody questioned his ability to copyright those works.
  • But in a more salient point for creators, the lawyer argued that the Copyright Office was “incorrectly focusing on the output of the tool rather than the input from the human.”
  • the best thing you can do is to be sure you’re employing as much human creativity in the process as possible.
  • This might mean writing prompts with as much detail as possible
  • A final note: as Lisa points out, the Copyright Office did indicate that if someone sufficiently modifies generated output, that could be protectable. So, If you’re using generative AI as a starting point — e.g., using ChatGPT to create a rough draft and then re-writing it for your own voice — be sure you document the changes you made before you try to file for copyright protection, and then explain it in the application.

    This is good information! AI has really opened up a lot of opportunities and resources, but it has also presented a lot of questions!
  • candee051 on 09 Jun 24
     
    This is good information regarding the use of generative AI. I concur with the author that AI-created information should be used as a starting point for developing instructional materials. It should not remove the instructional designer from the process. After all, they would be most knowledgeable about the instructional needs of their learners and the delivery methods available to them.

This is (more or less) a RSS feed. Such a great help for managing information!

    Download full PDF from FSU Library database. Students from American College of Norway, the University of North Dakota, and Nelson Mandela Metropolitan University in Port Elizabeth, South Africa came together through technology with the objective to have engage in a dialogue on topics such as like world peace, sustainable peace and global citizenship. Students were using this as an opportunity to connect to one another. Students were excited for the opportunity to engage, they had exposure to great speakers (digitally) and materials. They were connected to one another via online channels. Students answered questions on a blog and on Facebook, and although at first the answers may have been surface level, eventually student answers became more sophisticated. The study concludes by acknowledging the value of studying abroad, but recognizing that not all students have the opportunity to do so. Some of the value of study abroad is the exposure to culture and enhanced desire to learn, with technology it is possible to help students develop a passion for learning and create a sense of understanding for global issues.

    Couldn't reply to Vanessa's Post, created new one....It makes sense that researchers are taking steps to understand the role of the educator when considering Web 2.0 tools. I don't think this is a simple task for an educator to incorporate these tools into their cirriculum. In addition, I think great thought is needed to make sure that the tools are not just being used for the sake of using them but that they add/enhance learning. While the article suggests that the burden has fallen on the teacher to make use of this, I think it would be wise for institutions to develop a support system that works with the educators. After all, the institution provides them with a chalk board, a classroom, an overhead projector, etc. Why not provide them with proper training and course design suggestions using Web 2.0 technology?

    Cool article. I love storytelling, both telling and listening. This would take it to the next level of not just telling/listening but actively involving yourself in a story with others. Its like the produsage of storytelling where people, while not changing the outline of the original story, get to create, organically, all the inbetweens. Thanks V.

    I love this tool. It does have a collaboration and sharing feature, but I'm not quite sure if it web 2.0. What are your thoughts?

    Gliffy is great! I'm a TA in a web design class and the students use it to diagram their web pages before they start on their project. Really simple to use.

    Gliffy looks awesome! Wish I had known about it in the beginning of the summer. I would have used in it my trends and issues class. There's still a couple more weeks of class, so I may get my chance. If not, I'm sure it will come in handy for a future class.

    This is really cool. I stumbled on Webspriation PRO and used that for this weeks assignment which is similar to this. Does this have collaboration tools and chatting like Webs. Pro?

    I love this tool. Great for teachers!

    Looks easy to use. Does this offer anything different than other polls/survey tools out there?
  • Dana Bauries on 31 Jul 12
     
    I think the basic "free" features allow you just to poll one survey question at a time. What's really cool about it is that students can text their answers in. I am not familiar with it, but it is a great way to generate discussion within a classroom, blog, or website.
