Developing personal learning networks for open and social learning - 1 views

  •  
    A book chapter describing the design of a 2008 open access, graduate level, educational technology course (a fairly close fit for EDU8117). This course was a direct influence on the MOOC work of Siemens and Downes and a potential model for EDU8117 (and my other courses).

      Whether DBR is the only research method/approach mentioned here, or even it is the one mentioned is still a little open. I do have a personal preference for this. But may be open to flexibility.

      Where you start work on your final essay/DBR-plan to apply NGL to your learners
  • Writer’s workshops???
    • djplaner
       
      The idea is to require some form of peer feedback on your essay. Whether it's in the form of a writers' workshop is to be resolved. It's a great process, but the reality of how to implement it in this course is to be decided.

Using a design-based research study to identify principles for training instructors to ... - 1 views

  • In DBR, the content, structure, and instructional approaches of an intervention are first identified in the analysis and exploration phase of a design project through a literature review and the input of experts and practitioners. This information is then used to design the first iteration of the intervention. A preliminary literature review is conducted with the purpose of identifying draft design principles that have the potential to address the problem the intervention is being designed to solve. In the COAT project, the draft design guidelines included what content, structure, and instructional approaches might best be used to address the training and experiential needs of adjunct faculty who are making the transition to teaching online
  • Two-thirds (16 out of 24) of focus group participants identified that their experience of being an online student in the COAT course had influenced their subsequent online teaching practice.

    I originally missed this activity in Week one David, oops. However it was awesome to see that a simple email has fed directly to Flickr. a very engaging tool for teaching, Just need to see how it can be used in my area.

Half an Hour: Connectivism and the Primal Scream - 2 views

  • Indeed, so long as you think of knowledge and learning as something to be acquired and measured and tested - instead of practiced and lived and experienced - you will be dissatisfied with connectivist learning. And - for that matter - there's probably a limit to how far you can advance in traditional education as well, because (to my experience) everybody who achieves a high degree of expertise in a field has advanced well beyond the idea that it's just information and skills and things to learn. Kind of like Dreyfus and Dreyfus said.
    • ggdines
       
      Perhaps EDU8117 is attempting both - "something to be acquired and measured and tested" and "practiced, lived and experienced". That might be where my discomfort lies and perhaps also what Keith Brennan is articulating in his article.

Me as a teacher | The Weblog of (a) David Jones - 1 views

  • Perhaps the biggest example of that that I think lectures suck. In fact, I have a dislike for most face-to-face teaching practices in a University context. I have – what Bali and Meier describe as – an affinity for asynchronous learning.

  • . For both courses I’m interested in questions like: How I can be a more effective “meddler in the middle”? What learning environment is going to be best engage students most effectively in NGL? For EDC3100 the challenge is scaling this to a course with 100+ students. For EDU8117 the challenge may be to be a bit more experimental in how it’s done. In both the challenge may be for me to break my limitations/conceptions and those of the institutional environment.

      Some identification of future plans. Arguably fairly light on and not fleshed out in details, but probably appropriate for this post's purpose
  • is links to the point made by Goodyear et al (2014) Unless learning is very closely supervised and directed (which it rarely is), there will usually be some slippage between task and activity, for good and bad reasons. This is important to acknowledge, when designing, because what people learn is a consequence of their actual activity, and therefore only indirectly a result of the task set for them. Tasks are designable, activities are not – they are emergent. (p. 1

  • n his post “as teacher” Brendon, one of the other NGL participants, mentions Sugata Mitra’s work and the idea of students being “able to develop their own connections and learning without … explicit teaching”. Brendon identifies as a key challenge for schools the task of developing (or perhaps unleashing learner’s inherent ability to be) “self-directed and inquisitive learners”. For both my courses I see this as the main aim and the main challenge.

      Building on Brendon's post. Pointing to some insights which suggest some limitations of an aspect of what he was talking about.
  • Sorry, but Mahara still doesn’t compete with WordPress (or any other of numerous freely available online alternatives). In reflecting on her “as teacher” Anne relates a similar story around one school’s pilot program with Microsoft where each student has their own tablet device “but the device is not able to be taken home”

  • What do I want to do?

      All of the following really starting to talk about what I'd like to do.
  • Goodyear et al (2014) pick up on the term affordance as both important, but also as “a term that is also very widely critiqued and contested” (p. 137). The idea is that particular technologies afford different possibilities dependent on people’s perceptions of a technology. But an affordance isn’t a single set of possibilities seen by every person. Taking what Goodyear et al (2014) describe as a “relational-materialist” the idea of affordance becomes much more complex and emergent.

    Hi David Could you please indicate how you would mark this? Both overall, and with regards as to how each of your examples meet the criteria? Would I be correct to assume that this is exemplary? I'm somewhat uncertain as to how to interpret the marking criteria. Thanks Laura
