Mary Elizabeth Meier on 12 Mar 09College credit via YouTube. How's that for Web 2.0 Pedagogy?

Karen Keifer-Boyd on 12 Mar 09I don't see this as Web 2.0 pedagogy in that students watch lectures on YouTube and complete coursework. It depends what the course work is, if there is any Web 2.0 pedagogy involved. Karen Hi, In my haste, I too questioned this. I was thinking of Web 2.0 in the sense that the professor is empowered to upload lectures to Web - so Web 2.0 as the read/write Web. In generating content and sharing, the professor has the ability to reach beyond the four walls of the classroom. And, in doing so, may increase the opportunity for students to receive education. I do agree, that this is not an example of web 2.0 pedagogy in the sense that we are exploring in our class. I think it is Web 2.0 from the professors point of view but not necessarily from the students point of view. Perhaps Web 2.0 pedagogy really requires reciprocity as was mentioned in our article last week. Thanks for your comment. It is ok with me to put these notes on the diigo group page. :) MEM
