  • Something I am trying to get a handle on in my dissertation has to do with communication (and communication formats) that are imposed on a group/team and those in which groups or teams are able to develop their own forms and forms of communication. What I found is that a team might have “hidden” communication, withholding from some, developing different spaces and different &nbsp;levels of access to various members, depending on the task. Where would that come into your framework? Harold Jarche , on February 11th, 2010 at 19:32 Said: Good question.

    An earlier blog by Harold Jarche referring to Lillie Efimova's work. Note how structure/goal oriented moves over to informal/opportunity-driven network with personal drivers taking over. Perhaps most MCNC groups reside in the opportunity-driven, informal networking place--not so much coordination but cooperation keeps them together, weakly? Has an impact also on facilitator's role.

Harold Jarche » Increased complexity needs simplified design - 0 views

  • As Jay has said, informal learning is a better approach for more complex environments. Given the above, here are some guidelines for what informal learning development could look like: Spend less time on design and more on ongoing evaluation to allow emergent practices to be developed. Build learning resources so that they can be easily changed or modified by anyone (allow for a hacker mentality) Allow everything to be connected, so that the work environment is the learning environment (but look for safe places to fail) There is no clearly defined start or finish so enable connections from multiple access points. Information is no longer scarce and our connections are now many. If an organizational informal learning effort lets people connect more easily and communicate more effectively, then it will have a chance of success. Connecting &amp; Communicating are central roles for organizational leaders whose workplaces are becoming more complex, either in terms of evolving practices, changing markets or advances in technology. Enabling the integration of collaborative learning with work is a more flexible model than designing courses that are outdated as soon as they’re published.

    Interesting approach by PARCC on through-course assessments for K-12 students with particular significance for HS students as they assess how college ready they are, how they are growing content and skills to analyze, understand the content and apply, and how through-course assessments drive interventions, classroom practice, and support needed for teachers to understand CCSS and help their students to achieve them. Really like logic model on p 17. How does this, should this, could this affect MCNC's epi modeling? I-Lab practicum?

Pachyderm Services - 2 views

    Pachyderm is an easy-to-use multimedia authoring tool. Designed for people with little multimedia experience, Pachyderm is accessed through a web browser and is as easy to use as filling out a web form. Authors upload their own media (images, audio clips, and short video segments) and place them into pre-designed templates, which can play video and audio, link to other templates, zoom in on images, and more. Once the templates have been completed and linked together, the presentation is published and can then be downloaded and placed on the author's website or on a CD or DVD ROM. Authors may also leave their presentations on the Pachyderm server and link directly to them there. The result is an attractive, interactive Flash-based multimedia presentation.

Cybertrock: A barter system for the Information Society (project proposal) - 0 views

  •  
    By Colin Harrison in Education and the Knowledge Society: Information Technology Supporting Human Development by Tom J. van Weert, October 2004 (Springer, via Google Books).  Harrison's article is pp 244-246. He looks at how an online barter system (like his proposed Cybertroc) might facilitate ride-shares. One interesting idea is how this barter might help to build social capital in the area in which it is implemented and provides an interesting service to some who might otherwise be uninterested in "Information Society." Frustratingly, no details on the implementation of such an idea, other than to refer readers to a ride-share enacted during a 2003 French transportation strike.

Cultivating Global Cyberinfrastructure for Sharing Digital Resources - 0 views

  •  
    By Andrew Bonamici, Steven G. Huter, and Dale Smith in EDUCAUSE Review, 45(2), March/April 2010, pp 10-11. Those of us in the "developed" world (North America, Europe, etc.) rely on cyberinfrastructure to gain access to the vast amounts of information available on the Web. But what about students and researchers in the rest of the world?

Braxton, Group Relations Reader 3, pp. 421-441. Interesting study on bridging NTL (individual, interpersonal style of facilitation) and Tavistock (group as structural unit) practices. Need to read slowly with pen in hand to begin to apply to our online facilitation work.

The Obstacles to OER - 0 views

  •  
    By Audrey Watters in Hack Education (blog), Oct 25 2012. Watters has conducted informal surveys on why teachers do NOT use OER (open educational resources). Reasons are: difficulty of discoverability, lack of supplementary materials, and confusion over licensing. In her Discoverability section, she has a link called "What's available" that directs readers to more specifics about OERs, including which are most popular.

Ed-Tech PD Focuses on Student Learning Needs - 1 views

  •  
    By Leslie Harris O'Hanlon in Education Week; part of Technology Counts 2013: Building the Digital District, March 11 2013. O'Hanlon looks at ways that K-12 teachers are bringing technology into the classroom. While in some cases this is self-directed, there are districts and national initiatives to do as well. Online professional development is discussed.
  •  
    Last paragraph is really important: "Teachers should find one thing that they would like to change or something they want to make better and look for ways to use a technology tool," [New Hampshire kindergarten teacher Maria Knee] says. And "teachers need to get outside of their school and see what is happening in other places. And be open to learning."

Beyond "Job-Embedded": Ensuring that Good Professional Development Gets Results - 1 views

  •  
    Published by the National Institute for Excellence in Teaching (NIET), March 2012. This paper argues that, based on two recent studies, "job-embedded PD can be highly effective, but only when there is a sufficient infrastructure in place to support it." NIET's own program, TAP: The System for Teacher and Student Advancement, is such a program. Cited studies: Biancarosa, G., Bryk, A.S., & Dexter, E.R. (2010, September). Assessing the value-added effects of Literacy Collaborative professional development on student learning. The Elementary School Journal, 111(1), 7-34. -- and -- Saunders, W.M., Goldenberg, C.N., & Gallimore, R. (2009, December). Increasing achievement by focusing grade-level teams on improving classroom learning: A prospective, quasi-experimental study of Title I schools. American Educational Research Journal, 46(4), 1006-1033

    While this analysis seems somewhat biased (clearly written in support of NIET's own program), many of the characteristics of their program match work that KPI has done in PD.
