    This article suggests that educators in HE can generate systemic change by engaging in open and informal professional development outside and beyond their own institutions. An interesting read for anyone in a support role in Higher Education.

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.

      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.

Week 3 Diigo activity: Where has NGL come from? | GG's Blog - 0 views

  • Greater scaffolding to allow people to get familiar with the setup process and tools being used – simpler and fewer tasks in the first couple of weeks. I think this would have helped and allowed time for participants to allocate greater time to connecting with each other. I feel overwhelmed by the number of tasks and readings and tool setup – that I haven’t really been able to concentrate on making meaningful connections. Goodyear talks about access barriers on page 34 in relation to better user interfaces – for me the barrier isn’t about the interfaces but about getting used to “how things work” in this course.

      Uses NGL principles to understand participation and explain what happened. AND Draws on a range of NGL ideas that are linked together as part of the explanation.
  • I think what I am saying also ties in a little with Anne’s post for this activity – but I think that the lack of connection might be because there is too much to be done and not enough time to get to know our environment.

      Hello all, I think this affirms some of the material we have covered so far and personally I find this reassuring. Despite confusion and being out of my comfort zone - I will push through.
