Social Sciences | Free Full-Text | On the Design of Social Media for Learning - 3 views

shared by djplaner on 11 Sep 14 - No Cached
  •  
    Another article from Dron and Anderson extending some of the earlier work. Abstract follows. Is explicitly intended to help "design learning activities that make most effective use of the technologies" This paper presents two conceptual models that we have developed for understanding ways that social media can support learning. One model relates to the "social" aspect of social media, describing the different ways that people can learn with and from each other, in one or more of three social forms: groups, networks and sets. The other model relates to the 'media' side of social media, describing how technologies are constructed and the roles that people play in creating and enacting them, treating them in terms of softness and hardness. The two models are complementary: neither provides a complete picture but, in combination, they help to explain how and why different uses of social media may succeed or fail and, as importantly, are intended to help us design learning activities that make most effective use of the technologies. We offer some suggestions as to how media used to support different social forms can be softened and hardened for different kinds of learning applications.

Beyond the LMS - 0 views

  •  
    Notes and slides from a presentation entitled "Beyond the LMS" may have some interesting perspectives for those thinking about the need for "walled gardens" in high school (and elsewhere). There's a response to this that I'll share next. Audrey Watters - the author of this presentation - provides an interesting and through provoking perspective on all things educational technology. A useful alternative to some of the more common, but less critical perspectives.

MOOCs as Neocolonialism: Who Controls Knowledge? - WorldWise - Blogs - The Chronicle of... - 0 views

  • But I do believe it is important to point out that a powerful emerging educational movement strengthens the currently dominant academic culture, perhaps making it more difficult for alternative voices to be heard.
  •  
    One of the critiques of MOOCs that perhaps can be applied to broader ideas of NGL - or at least need to be considered. In particular this links to the under-developed aspect of NGL in this course - global learning.

The Challenges (and Future) of Networked Learning ~ Stephen's Web - 2 views

  •  
    Presentation from Stephen Downes (slides and audio) - the abstract A conversation about challenges (and future?) of networked learning. A broad understanding of the meaning and potential of networked learning can help educational institutions to rethink their role beyond the provision of LMS and centralized information systems. What skills are needed? What happens if we don't develop them? What kind of technology supports the development of said skills? What's the relation between this and issues of information property and citizenship in a digital context (POSSE models, Indie web movement)?
