Life-changing Learning: Me as student - 2 views

  • designed to encourage students to become autonomous learners who are actively engaged within a global community

      Using NGL principles to develop a reasoned understanding of participation in an NGL community
  • mmersing themselves in an on-line environment, and acquiring the skills to use a variety of tools that encourage interconnection, students become networked in an on-line community

      Draws on a range of NGL ideas that are linked together as part of the explanation.
  • hat is happening in NGL is what I envision as the purpose of learning. Learning, regardless of the environment, should foster the ability of individuals to actively participate in creating something that they, themselves, find as valuable. It took me many years to realise this, and I realise that I needed to go through learning in environments that provide the opposite to understand that in order to learn anything effectively, I needed to be intrinsically motivated to learn it. If I wasn't, or my students were not, then we were both unlikely to continue with the learning after the subject or course was over. And what was worse, we were both unlikely to feel fulfilled.

      Discussion "as student" is of an appropriate quantity.

9/15-9/28 Unit 1: Why We Need a Why | Connected Courses - 1 views

  • the “whats” to be learned
  • We usually start by addressing the “What” question first
  • If we have time, we address the “How” question by considering how we can best teach the material
  • ...4 more annotations...
  • we rush into the semester, rarely asking, “Why?”
  • Starting with “Why” changes everything.
  • As Neil Postman has noted, you can try to engineer the learning of what-bits (The End of Higher Education, Postman), but “to become a different person because of something you have learned — to appropriate an insight, a concept, a vision, so that your world is altered — is a different matter. For that to happen, you need a reason.”
  • So what is the real “why” of your course? Why should students take it? How will they be changed by it? What is your discipline’s real “why”? Why does it matter that students take __________ courses or become _________ists? How can digital and networked technologies effectively support the real why of your course?

    Intro page to week one of Connected Courses. The connection here to what we're doing in NGL is the text from Mike Wesch - "Why we need a why" It connects with course design - not a big leap from there to what you're doing "as teacher" in NGL - and talks about the importance of why

Some questions to guide your DBR - 1 views

  • What is the problem/challenge/focus? Why is it a problem? Who says, or, who agrees and doesn’t agree? What has been done so far to deal with this? Who tried it and what were their results? In light of all this, what else could be done, and what will be best for this particular problem? What makes this idea viable? What process of implementation will work best, and why?

    A post from Charm that explains DBR - including link to a video of Barab - and ending with a collection of 8 questions to ask about a problem. I recommend applying these to your problem.

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.
