Jaap's FB Thread: mooc anthro research, Rhizo14 - 0 views

  •  
    Mooc research, antrhopology study on a mooc as a tribe: new roles in the tribe; communication patterns; language used, neologisms; subgroups in the tribe; central and peripheral places; roles, rules and what ever. Might be the first anthro research on moocs and online communities ever. Participatory research, living among the natives is a accepted qualitative research method.

    "Anyone interested in doing research about the different forms of community interaction and its effects on learning in ‪#‎rhizo14‬? How would we go about that? (I assume it has been done for other cMOOCs but this could take a rhizomatic angle)."

    Competency-Based Education appeals to me because it seems easier for the teacher to be the facilitator/guide if not also responsible for the assessing/grading. Can it lead to independent learning?
  •  
    It appeals to me too...I wonder why same person facilitating as assessing is rarely thought of as a conflict of interest. It's not impossible but can challenge impartiality

    Really helpful post about the rhizome metaphor with outstanding RSA talk by Manuel Lima on networked learning. Encourages a new look at rhizomes and what might lead to diversity (you know they are clones). Bacteria?

  • copying what you love
    • Terry Elliott
       
      Pretty compelling idea. One of the more compelling and accessible ways to learn and play at the same time is to copy. I supose that is why it is such a common practice in master/apprentice relationships.
  • But we also know that we make ourselves stupid when we restrict ourselves to tolerating only the mildest disruptions of our comfort.”

  • “in this world of abundance, knowledge is not a library but a playlist tuned to our present interests. It is not eternally truthful content but subject matter good enough for our current task. It is not a realm but a path that gets us where we’re going.”

      And we are walking the path together.

Independence as Essential for Lifelong Learning | Reflecting Allowed - 1 views

  • This might be the “role” of the teacher here – to make learners realize they are better off becoming more independent.
    • Terry Elliott
       
      I am thinking that this is the difference between inviting participation and permitting participation?
  • I don’t know how to foster this, or if it is possible.
    • Terry Elliott
       
      I bet you do know how to foster this. In social capital theory they describe two ways of connecting that we all use--bridging (across groups) and bonding (within groups). All of this is part of a larger tool-reciprocation.
    • Terry Elliott
       
      In fact annotating and sharing this is a way to reinforce both your independent stance and your interdependent connections. It is like Mrs. Malaprop discovered: she has been speaking dialogue here entire life. I think we all are doing this dance of independence and interdependence all the time.

      the idea of 'minimal necessary scaffolding' is so important here. Have you read Myles Horton's The Long Haul. He addresses this question over and over.
  • because nothing essentially assessable or measurable needs to result from their learning
  • Even worse control because it becomes internalized,
    • Terry Elliott
       
      None of the issues of pre-requisites and order of learning and institutional imperatives matters if we put the power in the heart of the learner. After that 'engine' is started all of the world becomes fuel whether it is credentialing, certification, accrediting--it doesn't matter. It is all grist for each unique learning soul to turn into her or his own bread.

    • Jaap Bosman
       
      Education is expensive, online courses are cheaper. Online courses engage people from all ages, they foster life-long-learning. Online courses are a means to make schools change. If schools do not change they will suffer and go down.

    The system of education will change, teachers should be change agents.

Communications & Society: Decalcomania and CCK11 - 0 views

  •  
    "Keith Hamon'" decalcomania is a process for transferring a pattern from one thing to another, and it describes quite accurately how we create meaning in our minds. In decalcomania, a surface with a potent image or medium is pressed against another surface. After the two surfaces are separated, self-similar images reside on both surfaces

Independent Thinking in an Age of Conformity « Kevin's Meandering Mind - 0 views

  • . We’ve drummed out their curiosity for fear of failure, and we are all to blame.
    • Terry Elliott
       
      I think they are still curious, just not in the school context. I compare it to code switching only what happens is that our 'good' students get very strategic and realize that every minute of class is an extrinsic good. Why waste precious intrinsic, will power on the likes of that? Now, out of school, we get so many examples of the intrinsic game, that infinite play and flow we are seeking.

    Seems to me that building agency and self-efficacy in a rhizomatic learning environment is understanding what your want to learn about. What is your line of inquiry and what is your goal. I love this organization because it focuses on that very simple step of knowing how to ask a question and then figuring out how to answer it.
