Donald Clark Plan B: Jay Cross: informal learning guru - 0 views

  • Informal learning is driven by conversations, communities of practice, context, reinforcement through practice and now social media to “optimise organisational performance”. Blogs, wikis, podcasts, peer-to-peer sharing, aggregators, social media and personal knowledge management are all emergent phenomena, unlike the top-down tools and content that traditional e-learning has provided.
  • There’s still a need for underpinning learning with good content, from books to full courses, especially for novices and business critical training such as compliance. You can’t let people who don’t know what they need to know, drift, so there’s a time and place for structured, formal learning.
  • Even ‘e-learning’ is avoided as it also leads to a default of dull, page-turning courses.

  • Cross asks us to reflect on the obvious, but shocking, fact that almost all of our attention (and spend) goes on the formal side, while the majority of the action is informal. Much to his credit he does not abandon formal learning, but asks us to consider the accelerating role of technology in on informal learning. He moves us beyond traditional LMS and content model and beyond blended learning to a newer more naturalistic model of learning, based on real behaviour and contemporary technology.

    Clark introduces Cross, who in turn distinguishes pushed learning from pulled learning. Clark also provides a short bibliography of Cross's work.

Eportfolios: In search of a silver bullet - Kwantlen Mahara Pilot - 0 views

  •  
    "My interest in eportfolio tools grew out of efforts to solve a very practical problem: how to allow students to manage and share files (especially large media files) beyond the confines of the institutional learning management system. Students were increasingly asking for better ways to collaborate with classmates and share course and assignment files, as well as for the ability to access their work beyond the duration of a single course. My experimentation with with eportfolio tools began with Mahara, an open source eportfolio application. I piloted the use of Mahara with a small group of students to test whether it would meet their file sharing needs. It was quickly apparent that without faculty engagement, students would be unlikely to invest time in using such a system on their own. This led me to wonder if other institutions had been down similar paths. "

Consultation on the promotion and validation of non-formal and informal learn... - 0 views

  •  
    "The European Commission is seeking input on the promotion and validation of non-formal and informal learning. The implications of an EU-policy on this issue would be far-reaching, especially if it were to devise an accreditation initiative or  framework evaluating informal learning experiences (e.g., through those gained via open courses such as the ones offered by George Siemens, Alec Couros, Jim Groom, Stephen Downes, David Wiley, & Dave Cormier)." It will be interesting to follow this as a possible model for informal learning at SCoPE and other PD opportunities.

Online Conferences: Professional ... - Google Books - 0 views

  •  
    Anderson and Anderson (2010) characterize online continuing professional education (CPE) conferences as "structured, time[-]delineated" events involving "distributed population[s]" in synchronous or asynchronous use of "online communication and collaboration tools" (p. 15). They suggest that these characteristics may enhance "both the quantity and quality of interaction" in formal CPE sessions, thanks to possibilities for preliminary access to conference materials, world-wide participation, and asynchronous as well as real-time interpersonal engagements (p. 22), which in turn may promote constructivist and connectivist modes of learning within professional communities of practice (pp. 7-10).

Social Networks Adapting Pedagogical Practice - SNAPP - 0 views

  •  
    SNAPP is a software tool that allows users to visualize the network of interactions resulting from discussion forum posts and replies. The network visualisations of forum interactions provide an opportunity for teachers to rapidly identify patterns of user behaviour - at any stage of course progression. SNAPP has been developed to extract all user interactions from various commercial and open source learning management systems (LMS) such as BlackBoard (including the former WebCT), and Moodle. SNAPP is compatible for both Mac and PC users and operates in Internet Explorer, Firefox and Safari.
