Insidious pedagogy: how course management systems impact teaching - 0 views

  • The buttons link to pages that simply provide a place to upload a document, which is exactly what most instructors do: upload word–processed files of their classroom materials. They are encouraged to “plug in” their content under the appropriate category instead of envisioning a translation of their individual pedagogical style into an online environment. Blackboard “tends to encourage a linear pathway through the content” [3], and its default is to support easy uploading and text entry to achieve that goal.
  • Even after several years of working with the CMS, faculty requests for help focus on what the technology can do, rather than how their pedagogical goals can be achieved.
  • Morgan notes such improvement as a “side effect of the use of the software rather than a direct result of its use” [5] — those willing to play around with the features tend to discover new directions for their teaching.

Social Media Policies and Procedures (Part 1) | Daniel Hoang: Insights of a Management ... - 0 views

  • It’s a fact of life, social media is here to stay. Sites like Facebook, Linkedin, and Twitter are all reaching critical mass. It’s not just a network for college students or adolescence teenagers anymore. We’re starting to see professionals, celebrities, and even politicians publishing profiles, blogs, and even tweets. Rather than use a wait and see approach, companies should be proactive and take steps to build a framework for a well developed company policy on the use of social media.

4 Ways To Create Brand Content People Actually Care About | Fast Company - 0 views

  •  
    "Content development and process begins with the organization. Perform a communication audit of existing collateral, creative assets, and positioning from the perspective of the customer. There are likely many existing content resources that with a bit of shine can be revitalized into powerful content marketing pieces--just take a look at the amazing photography that the New York Times incorporated into its Facebook timeline. However, be a fierce editor, ruthless about sending things to the cutting room floor. Ask yourself honestly, "Is this any good?" "Do these images make me feel the right kind of something?" "Is this worth sharing?" In addition to reviewing existing materials, gather opinions about content opportunities and upcoming milestones from staff members. Involve your entire organization in a creative brainstorm to uncover the compelling stories that are already happening, ripe for the telling. "

Time for national renewal - 0 views

  • Elements of social capital such as how people identify themselves in relation to others, their levels of trust with others, how they work with others in various networks, and the number and type of networks people can live and work within, are significant and should be explicitly acknowledged and written into a new strategy. The literature sometimes presents human and social capital as a dichotomy, involving a choice to be made between one or the other, a form of vocational/social divide (Perkins 2009:31). We maintain, however, the two forms of capital are interrelated and that socio-economic well-being requires both forms of capital (Balatti, Black and Falk 2006).
  • Literacy and numeracy learning has a significant role to play in other sectors such as health, youth work, and welfare. To date, integrated literacy and numeracy has featured primarily in workplace and VET support programs, and has been slow to feature in these other social policy areas. There have been a number of local crosssectoral initiatives reported in the areas of health (Black, Innes and Chopra 2008), family literacy (Leske, Harris and Francis 2005), youth studies (Widin, Yasukawa and Chodkiewicz 2008) and aspects of community development (Black, Lucchinelli and Flynn 2006, Shore 2009), but these initiatives have been undertaken primarily with short term innovative funding from the federal government.
  • Another area of potential cross-sectoral partnerships involves employers, unions and literacy and numeracy providers.
  • ...3 more annotations...
  • Apart from acknowledgement that integrated literacy and numeracy support is needed and ought to be provided, there is little agreement or indeed debate, about the theoretical underpinnings of the pedagogies that are used. Further, with the exception of Western Australia, there is no designated funding for these programs, and therefore their funding is in competition with many other priorities in declining (in real terms) state VET budgets.
  • While ‘screening’ to identify students in need of literacy and numeracy support is widespread in VET systems, less formal assessment methods which avoid a deficit approach to teaching and learning are likely to be more effective.
  • Adult literacy and numeracy teachers need a focal point, a national ‘centre’ where they can engage with ideas and theories, draw on recent developments in the field, and make a contribution themselves.

    This is a compendium of three reports. The first examines the size and attributes of the vocational education and training (VET) workforce using a variety of data sources. The second looks more specifically at TAFE's workforce. The final report considers the feasibility of a national VET workforce collection. The compendium updates earlier NCVER work on VET workforce numbers and characteristics. A short overview integrating the key messages from the body of work is also provided.

Teachers are Students & Learners Too - 0 views

  • PLNs are learning opportunities that provide a way to move from professional development as a special event, such as a workshop or a once a year conference to “a continuous flow of learning” (Guhlin, 2009). There are many ways to develop a PLN, and many interactive and collaborative tools to use including twitter, nings, social networks, blogs, and social bookmarking sites like Diigo. A PLN becomes a “dedicated learning environment [which] is unique to each individual” and its efficacy depends on how much or how little you chose to share and learn from other individuals in your PLN (Kapuler, 2009).

LH Martin Institute - LH Martin Institute submission to inquiry into the role of TAFE - 0 views

  •  
    The LH Martin Institute recently provided a submission to the House of Representatives Inquiry into the role of TAFE. In our submission we proposed a new national partnership that would supersede the current National Partnership Agreement, which was established in April 2012 at the Council of Australian Governments meeting but has since broken down in key respects such as overall funding of VET and maintaining the capacity of TAFE. The new national partnership we are suggesting would be based on the outcomes of a "TAFE base funding review" recommended by the AWPA; provide for the maintenance of current funding levels per student contact; recognise the role of TAFE as a comprehensive service provider; and consider the efficacy of current national arrangements.

    "4 November 2010, Geneva: Keynote at WIPO "Facilitating Access to Culture in the Digital Age" Meeting. A bunch here is familiar, though I refine a bit the idea of ecologies of culture, and press for WIPO to launch a "blue skies" commission to frame a sensible framework for copyright in the digital age.

    This poster presentation illustrates the outcomes and processes involved in the development of a set of exemplar materials to support the assisted take up of a new digital video archive (Newsfilm Online) in the Higher Education community in the UK. The exemplars are underpinned by a conceptual framework based around learning designs and learning spaces which, we believe, are transferable to other digital learning resources.

Open Source: A Metaphor for E-Learning - 0 views

  •  
    This paper explores open source as a metaphor for e-learning. It builds the case that e-learning and open source movement are rooted in the constructivist movement and the constructivist movement is itself rooted in the pragmatism and instrumentalism that pervades John Dewey's theories of understanding as applied to learning. As a result, it is recommended that the use of open source as metaphor for e-learning be further explored in three areas: instructional practices, instructional platforms, and instructional philosophy.
