Embracing Ambiguity and Dewey | My Open Online Self - 0 views

  • We chose to use a collaborative constructivist approach to designing our open online seminar because it is consistent with our beliefs about teaching people how to “learn how to learn,” and it is an approach that can take advantage of online collaboration, dialogue, connections and inquiry.

  • People learning on an informal network will choose the subject they want to learn about or the activity they want to engage in, but in a connectivist environment they have to make other choices as well.
  • For instance, they have to manage time, set their own learning goals, find resources, and try out new tools and make them work.
  • Research shows that the Internet and the Web are not value-free and do not act as non-hierarchical networks
  • These free agents do not have a responsibility or an obligation to provide a critical point of view.
  • need for critical literacies
  • level of presence.
  • critical literacies, such as collaboration, creativity, and a flexible mindset, that are prerequisites for active learning
  • Other benefits were seen in the form of the extension of personal networks and in new blogs and Twitter participants to follow. Participants highlighted the need for a sense of trust and feeling comfortable and confident to be able to participate, a sense of presence and community that some participants found on the PLENK Second Life site.
  • it is impossible to sustain the high level of reading, thinking, and engaging with materials and people that happened at the beginning of the course.
  • building identity and reputation is being developed over time
  • critical ability to not only use network resources, but also to look at them critically in order to “appropriate them and redesign them,
  • for networked learning to be successful, people need to have the ability to direct their own learning and to have a level of critical literacies that will ensure they are confident at negotiating the Web in order to engage, participate, and get involved with learning activities.
  • confident and competent in using the different tools in order to engage in meaningful interaction.
  • takes time for people to feel competent and comfortable
  • level of learner autonomy
  • four major types of activity:

Exploring Curation as a core competency in digital and media literacy education | Mihai... - 0 views

  • Critical media literacy, in this context is utilized to combat the hegemonic power structures in society by training students to become critical thinkers, thereby transferring power from the hands of the distributers to the hands of the receivers.
    • Brendan Murphy
       
      Might be the most importatn point in the entire paper
  • shifting the educational framework from read, write and react, to create, curate, and contemplate.
  • defining sources and credibility becomes an ongoing and nuanced conversation.
  • ...11 more annotations...
  • Curating content shifts the learning from passive to active
  • participatory spaces enable-archive, annotate, appropriate and recirculate
  • Jenkins
  • core set of key skills
  • While traditional techniques remain relevant for students today, there is a need to explore pedagogical models that aim to empower critical thinking within the context of digital realities for youth today.
  • play, performance, simulation, appropriation, multitasking, distributed cognition, collective intelligence, judgment, transmedia navigation, networking, and negotiation
  • Organization is no longer simply for daily routines, pastimes or hobbies, but also for news and current affairs.
  • curation as value-added.
  • When the lists are public, the user becomes a de facto expert in showing the value placed on certain sources, organizations, and individuals over others. This type of curation "allows the people formerly known as the audience to create value for one another every day" (Shirky 2010, 17).
  • Curation is an act of problem solving.
  • task of the curator is to organize the information into a story

  • present the learner with different phenomena and they will learn different things.
    • Brendan Murphy
       
      present two learners with the same content and they will still know the same thing but in different ways. 
  • What happens when online learning software ceases to be a type of content-consumption tool, where learning is "delivered," and becomes more like a content-authoring tool, where learning is created?”
  • The objective of a theory of learning networks is to describe the manner in which resources and services are organized in order to offer learning opportunities in a network environment.
  • ...7 more annotations...
  • The message is coded in a common ‘language’ where the code is open, not proprietary. So no particular software or device is needed to receive the code
  • Learning is instead thought of as a part of living,
  • Learning therefore evolves from being a transfer of content and knowledge to the production of content and knowledge.
  • This is a very important point, because it shows that traditional research methodology, and for that matter, traditional methods of testing and evaluation, as employed widely in the field of e-learning, will not be successful
  • Virtually all networks are chaotic systems.
  • science based on modeling and simulation, pattern recognition and interpretation, projection and uncertainty.
  • theory of connectivism, which asserts that knowledge - and therefore the learning of knowledge - is distributive, that is, not located in anygiven place (and therefore not 'transferred' or 'transacted' per se) but rather consists of the network of connections formed from experience and interactions with a knowing community.
