Pathways to Open Resource Sharing through Convergence in Healthcare Education - MEDEV, ... - 2 views

  • This UKOER phase 2 project was working closely with the NHS eLearning Repository to explore sharing open educational resources across clinical (i.e. NHS) and academic (i.e. HEI) settings in the UK. We worked with Jorum to look at potential ways to represent OERs in both repositories to increase access to both datasets via access from NHSNet and JANET.
  • The work of the project built on the excellent partnership established in our previous UKOER phase 1 pilot project, OOER, and extended and embed the good practice development begun in phase 1, together with equivalents such as the eLearning readiness toolkit developed by the NHS.
  • Alongside this important work, we further developed the concept of a Consent Commons to make sure that the interests of patients and non-patients appearing in clinical recordings used in OERs are fairly represented (in accordance with UK Data Protection and Privacy and Electronic Communications legislation, following the guidelines from the Information Commissioners Office), alongside the copyright and ownership interests - typically represented in, for example, a Creative Commons license.

NetworkEDGE: The Future of Education July 2014 - 2 views

  •  
    In this video Downes shares his utopian anti-institutional view of education. He pleads for "learning beyond institutions", towards personal learning in a networked world.  Move towards anarchic learning, based on no models, no systems, no traditional ideals. Move beyond institutions and towards self-organised networks of learners. "Content is the McGuffin it's the thing that gets us talking with each other" "its the connections between people and neurones that is the actual learning"

Is Mobile Learning Relevant in Developing Countries? - 1 views

  • foreign intervention is less desirable than autonomous growth and innovation
  • M-Pesa (“mobile money” in Swahili) is a Kenyan mobile phone service which allows people to pay or transfer money to any other mobile phone user. It came about to meet the needs of a population poorly served by traditional banking services, before spreading throughout Africa, and is now among the most advanced mobile payment systems in the world. It’s different from your typical money transfer, because it doesn’t rely on bank accounts
  • Today, over 50% of adult Kenyans use the service to transfer money and pay for bills and even shopping

  • At first, the internet made the world more global; now, the internet itself is becoming more local. The various fora and message boards serve as increasingly rich archives of dialogues – where a problem has been solved once, that solution can be sought by anyone
  • Anyone with access to Google can leverage the collective wisdom of the masses
  • he advent of cloud computing and crowd-sourcing means that individuals can now create and distribute their own educational content with little to no overhead
  • Udemy is one such platform, enabling educational content to be sourced from individuals rather than publishing houses (though a number of publishers do use the platform). Anyone can upload a lesson, and anyone can take a lesson
  • These platforms, which empower the individual, are significant because they enable highly local, highly specific learning content
  • While publishing houses need to generalise their content and target the largest audience, an individual is under no such imperative.
  • it becomes more and more feasible for anyone, anywhere to share their knowledge
  • it’s not poorer nations that benefit from the benevolence of richer ones – rather, the transaction becomes more individual
  • One person, anywhere, can learn, and can teach, another person. That person can be their neighbour or someone on the other side of the planet. And if the concept of reverse innovation shows anything, it’s that the East can teach the West a thing or two.
