A pedagogy of abundance - Open Research Online - 0 views

  •  
    "he digitisation of content combined with a global network for delivery and an open system for sharing has seen radical changes in many industries. The economic model which has underpinned many content based industries has been based on an assumption of scarcity. With a digital, open, networked approach we are witnessing a shift to abundance of content, and subsequently new economic models are being developed which have this as an assumption. In this article the role of scarcity in developing higher education practice and pedagogy is explored. The shift to abundant content has as profound implications for education as it has for content industries. The possible contenders for a 'pedagogy of abundance' are examined and the necessary requirements for such a pedagogy outlined."

But in 2014 the ideas, solutions, and models that have been accumulating in higher education and technology will hit IT organizations-and the institutions they serve-fast and hard. This is the year that the front part of the herd will join the mavericks, tipping the balance for the rest." Interesting article shared by Esther

Three Objections to Learning Objects - Norm Friesen - 0 views

  • This paper outlines a number of problems associated with this movement, all of which arise in some way from the juxtaposition of narrow technical and specialized concepts with the general and varied dimensions and contexts of learning
  • In clear contrast to the dominance of the object-oriented paradigm in programming and software design, there is no consensus among educational experts as to how learning occurs or how it can best be understood. There is no "all-pervasive" approach or "paradigm" for learning or education as is claimed for programming and software design. "Pedagogy as well as instructional design," as Allert, Dhraief, and Nejdl say, "are ill-structured domains" (2002).
  • In this pattern, these innovations are introduced into educational contexts and practices clearly bearing the stamp of their technical origin. Instead of being presented in terms familiar and meaningful to educators, they bear connotations that appear unclear or even negative in these practical contexts

  • Using a term that make sense only in abstruse technical discussions, and that is opaque and confusing to practitioners does not make its potential benefits clear to teachers. Instead, it presents the potential of pitting those responsible for instruction unproductively against those advocating technological change. It is not that the innovation should not come from outside of education, or that it can only come from within. It is simply that innovations must be presented in terms that are meaningful for teaching practice.
  • This research shows that the rate of adoption increases significantly when innovations possess some of the following characteristics: 1) simplicity, 2) compatibility with existing methods and techniques, and 3) relative advantage in comparison with these established methods and techniques (Rogers, 1962).
