Edublogers as a Network of Practice | Virtual Canuck - 0 views

  • Had a core group of either paid or highly motivated contributors • Members workplaces shared much common structural characteristics – similar job requirements, organization etc. • Strong norms of collective behaviour: Members shared common social codes and ‘best practices’ • Trust, affiliation and other affective characteristics were nourished • The network had means to collectively censure inappropriate behaviour • The NOP used an appropriate set of distributed tools to effectively accomplish these goals.
  • ou just start to blog, read blogs and comment on blogs with content related to education and/or learning. But it can be a lonely world if nobody reads your posts. Thus, an aspiring edublogger needs to develop the set of network relationships such that their posts are read and responded to – in essence becoming a full member of the NoP. This is perhaps best accomplished by reading the blogs of others, commenting on them, noting the Blog role listings of other edubloggers that favorite authors are following, reading and responding to and gradually moving into the existing flow. Then, through immersion into the network (caused mostly by allocating  time to read, and  talent to originate and respond) the Edublogger  learns what content is appreciated, commented on and that leads to ongoing discourse

LLB distance learning - an ideal course for those interested in making a career as lawy... - 0 views

  •  
    A multi - billion dollar industry, practicing law requires patience, skill and above all the educational qualifications. Without proper educational qualification one cannot practice law. And if you are thinking of an online law degree, LLB (Hons) Law from Anglia Ruskin University is really worth the penny.

Facebook as LMS? « Experiencing E-Learning - 0 views

  • I agree with Sarah that using social networking tools for a course increases the amount of interaction and probably encourages more assessment of how people interact together. I
  • I wonder for people who already use these tools if the community of a course would really feel any different than the community of their friends.
  • f we’re trying to create lifelong learners, then using social networking tools for learning might be more effective. It has a stronger intrinsic context for interacting with others than a more artificial classroom environment. Practice that is as close to real life as possible is more effective, so practicing using tools for learning in the real world should make it easier for students to transition out of the course and continue using the tools.

  • The field test for one of the courses I developed recently finished, and I got the initial feedback today. This is the first course where I have used blogs, wikis, and other tools. A lot of what students do for this course is outside of the LMS, but they also come back in for the discussion boards. One point in the feedback was that students had a hard time jumping back and forth between the blogs and the discussion boards. The conversations didn’t seem connected to each other, and the discussions “didn’t have a home.” It is one of the problems with all of these tools that everything is so scattered. RSS can aggregate a lot of content into one place, but you still have to be able to bounce back and forth between resources and connect it all. Using these tools creates a much less centralized experience than a traditional LMS.
