Chapter 3. A Typology of Social Forms for Learning - 5 views

  • In brief, the evolved form illustrates three kinds of aggregation of learners in either formal or informal learning: groups, networks, and sets. We originally conflated sets with a further emergent entity that is not a social form as such, which we have referred to as the collective
  • the tutor can respond directly to questions, adapt teaching to the learner’s stated or implied reactions, and the learner can choose whether to intervene in the course of his or her own tuition without contest with others (Dron, 2007
  • one-to-one dialogue represents an “ideal” form of guided learning, at least where there is a teacher who knows more than the learner and is able to apply methods and techniques to help that learner to learn

  • t continues to play an important role in network forms of sociality because of the essentially one-to-one edges between nodes that lead to what Rainie and Wellman (2012) refer to as “networked individualism”—
  • However, one of their defining characteristics is that their members are, in principle and often in practice, listable.

      For me, this category is where all of Riel and Polin's (2004) types of community fit. The notion of community (as per Riel and Polin) doesn't capture the full set of possibilities that are observable on in netgl
  • People may be unaware that they are part of a set (e.g., people with a particular genetic marker), or they may identify with it (e.g., people who are fans of football or constructivist teaching methods).

      In my context "as teacher" - helping other academics learn how to learn online - the Set may be one of the missing considerations in staff development. i.e. all of those people teaching huge first year university courses could be said to belong to a set. Yet there is - at least at my institution - very little sharing/engagement/learning within this set. Most of it occurs within their group (e.g. the school of education) even though chances are that someone teaching a large first year education course has more to learn from someone teaching a large first year accounting course than from someone teaching a Master of Education course with 12 people in it.
  • Group-oriented systems tend to provide features like variable roles, restricted membership, and role-based permissions. Network-oriented systems tend to provide features like friending, linking, and commenting. Set-oriented systems tend to provide tools like topic- or location-based selections, tags, and categories.

      The design of the technology you use can be very important. Trying to create network learning with a group learning tool (e.g. Moodle) can be difficult. One of the reasons why this course has moved to using an open blog, rather than Moodle.

  • Large-scale learning environments are incredibly diverse: massive open online courses, intelligent tutoring systems, open learning courseware, learning games, citizen science communities, collaborative programming communities, community tutorial systems, and the countless informal communities of learners are all examples of learning at scale.

    Review Will Richardson and Rob Mancabelli have created an essential book for educators, students, and anyone concerned about the future of education. Personal Learning Networks provides the perspectives and the processes we need to use personal learning networks to become educated, empowered and ready for the global economy. --Jason Ohler, Professor Emeritus, Educational Technology, University of Alaska, Juneau This book presents an innovative, comprehensive strategy for reinventing education to meet the needs of 21st century students and society. Much more than familiar rhetoric on what is wrong with education, the authors provide a compelling vision for education as it could and should be and a road map to help get us there. Mancabelli & Will Richardson have provided us with a step-by-step guide to create globally-connected classrooms, implement powerful project-based curriculum, and introduce our students to tools and technologies with transformative potential. --Angela Maiers, President of Maiers Educational Services, Clive, Iowa This book is chock-full of useful information and highlights numerous practitioners who are walking the walk. A fantastic resource for administrators, teachers, policymakers, and others who are trying to lead their organizations into the digital, global world in which we now live. --Scott McLeod, Director at UCEA Center for Advanced Study of Technical Leadership in Education, Ames, Iowa

    Kathy Sierra was very well known in the software development community and online. Her experience - a number of years ago and with ramifications now - of the networked world clearly illustrates some of the negatives of that world, especially when it is misused. Beyond the experience, this post also provides an insight into the community of trollers, their practices and the terminology.

    For Stephen Downes one of the strengths of connectivism is that networks offer an explanation of how learning occurs "all the way down". Something that constructivism/cognitivism tend not to do. This interactive animation/learning object introduces the ideas of Hebbian and anti-Hebbian learning in the context of fears. It provides (at least for me) a useful and interesting introduction of how networks (in the form of neurons learn.

    A short post the summarises the "war" between traditional hierarchica/factory-like approaches to education (almost all formal education institutions) and the more de-centarlised network-based approach characeterised by cMOOCs (the original MOOC model). This is a challenge you (and I) face in trying to bring network ideas into formal education. The link to Dave Cormier's work in the comments is a good one, I recommend following it up.

It also tells us what we as a country need to do to increase our interaction with other countries and digitalisation in the future. A fantastic example of why we need to introduce NGL to young people.

    A TED talk that highlights the transition from the traditional view of human knowledge (hierarchical) to the more modern view (networked). Makes a few points in passing on the limitations and problems with the hierarchical view. This probably would have been a good video to start the course, but I've only just listened to it. Haven't watched the video - I imagine it's even more impactful than the audio

  • not assume the future to be any less problematic than the present).
  • Instead, take this as a challenge to talk through some alternate ways of approaching our field and our work … these are discussions that certainly need to ‘cont’.
  • For instance, technology and education remains an area of academic study, policymaking, commercial activity and   popular debate where promises of what might/could/should happen far outstrip the realities of what actually happens.
  • ...10 more annotations...
  • This marginal standing is reflected in the tendency for educational technology academics to be located often within ‘support’ units and divisions, such as cross-faculty ‘Teaching & Learning Divisions’ or departmental ‘E-Learning Units’. Physically as well as intellectually, then, the field of technology and education is often found to be operating on the peripheries of academe
  • In short, we need to accept that academic work in the area of technology and education is currently falling short of what should now be a significant and substantial area of contemporary education scholarship.
  • Instead, the academic study of technology and education should be developing as much along the lines of critical social science as it does in the guise of a cognitive learning science.
  • attempting to move “outside the assumptions and practices of the existing order and struggling to make categories, assumptions and practices of everyday life problematic”.
  • As Sonia Livingstone (2012) puts it, this problematizing of technology and education usually pursues three basic lines of inquiry: What is really going on? How can this be explained? How could things be otherwise? As these questions imply, a critical approach also involves speaking up for, and on behalf of, those voices usually marginalized in discussions of what technology and education ‘is’ and ‘sh
  • What to do about digital technology?’ remains a high-profile
  • As Alison Hearn has argued, contemporary higher education is now predicated around ambitions to produce human capital rather than critical thinkers; and to foster creativity, innovation and knowledge rather than critical thinking.
  • This stems, at least in part, from the fundamental desire amongst most educational technologists to improve education through the implementation of digital technology. For many academics, then, technology and education is approached as an inherently ‘positive project’. Indeed, I suspect that most people working in this area are driven to some degree by an underlying belief that digital technologies are capable of improving learning and/or education in some way
  • to ‘harness the power’ of technology.
  • I would argue that any academic who is working in the area of technology and education should feel obliged to be critical, or at least justify why they have chosen not to be critical

shared by djplaner on 01 Sep 15 - No Cached
  • This paper raises questions on levels of learner autonomy, presence, and critical literacies required in active connectivist learning.
  • In e-learning, two major traditions have been prevalent: one where connections are made with people and the other where they are made with resources (Weller, 2007)
  • since the emergence and proliferation of information and communication technologies (ICTs) and their increasing encroachment on everyday life, boundaries between settings in which people learn and in which they use technology for other activities have blurred, and perspectives such as connectivism have emerged
  • ...2 more annotations...
  • From observations on PLENK it seems that for networked learning to be successful, people need to have the ability to direct their own learning and to have a level of critical literacies that will ensure they are confident at negotiating the Web in order to engage, participate, and get involved with learning activities.
  • People also have to be confident and competent in using the different tools in order to engage in meaningful interaction. It takes time for people to feel competent and comfortable to learn in an autonomous fashion, and there are critical literacies, such as collaboration, creativity, and a flexible mindset, that are prerequisites for active learning in a changing and complex learning environment without the provision of too much organized guidance by facilitators
