  • the world contains an unimaginably vast amount of digital information which is getting ever vaster ever more rapidly. This makes it possible to do many things that previously could not be done: spot business trends, prevent diseases, combat crime and so on. Managed well, the data can be used to unlock new sources of economic value, provide fresh insights into science and hold governments to account.

  • the proliferation of data is making them increasingly inaccessible
  • ...15 more annotations...
  • Scientists and computer engineers have coined a new term for the phenomenon: “big data”.
  • Epistemologically speaking, information is made up of a collection of data and knowledge is made up of different strands of information. But this special report uses “data” and “information” interchangeably because, as it will argue, the two are increasingly difficult to tell apart.
  • business of information management
  • Chief information officers (CIOs)
  • statistician and storyteller/artist
  • many reasons for the information explosion
  • technology
  • digitising lots of information that was previously unavailable
  • access to far more powerful tools
  • many more people who interact with information
  • shift from information scarcity to surfeit has broad effects
  • “Data exhaust”
  • in aggregate the data can also be mined
  • In a world of big data the correlations surface almost by themselves.
  • The way that information is managed touches all areas of life. At the turn of the 20th century new flows of information through channels such as the telegraph and telephone supported mass production. Today the availability of abundant data enables companies to cater to small niche markets anywhere in the world.

    "By Alvina Lopez It doesn't matter if you're a veteran teacher or a newbie just now taking college courses - finding new ways to get students engaged in the classroom is always a great thing. One way many teachers are reaching out is with the multitude of material found on the web, allowing them to turn everyday lessons into a multimedia experience. You can find a great amount of helpful material on these sites, including videos to augment your lessons, lectures to inspire students, documentaries to show them how things work, and loads of additional videos to help you become a better, smarter teacher."

  • sensemaking attempts include: blog posts, summary Moodle forum posts, images, analysis of discussion forum activity, social network analysis, etc.
  • Creating and sharing artifacts of sensemaking is an important activity in open online courses.
  • filtering (or forming sub-networks/groups/discussion clusters) happens once the course is underway
  • ...9 more annotations...
  • learners are a diverse group
  • uniformity of university program tracks masks the differences of learners.
  • In an open course, participants aren’t filtered in the same way.
  • Higher education generally homogenizes learners through pre-requisites or subject streams (programs).
  • we begin to connect with those who respond favorably, we gravitate toward those who we find interesting (but not so interesting that we feel no connection),
  • One of the primary ways of connecting with others in an open course is through creating and sharing artifacts of sensemaking.
  • When our learning is transparent, we become teachers.
  • Essentially, we form small sub-networks that connect (lattice-like) to other sub-networks
  • fluidity of interaction across novice-intermediate-expert networks is one of the main points of value in open courses.
