    I've been having my students use the social bookmarking site Diigo since the start of the school year. They've used it to keep track of information they find on the web, to share information with our class group, and also to respond to digital texts they read.

Open for Learning: The CMS and the Open Learning Network | in education - 1 views

    The course management system (CMS) reinforces the status quo and hinders substantial teaching and learning innovation in higher education. It does so by imposing artificial time limits on learner access to course content and other learners, privileging the role of the instructor at the expense of the learner, and limiting the power of the network effect in the learning process. The open learning network (OLN)-a hybrid of 1 the CMS and the personal learning environment (PLE)-is proposed as an alternative learning technology environment with the potential to leverage the affordances of the Web to dramatically improve learning.

  • you need a mixture of materials, you need a collection of different perspectives, different points of view, in order to come to any new understanding.

      Do teachers approach any class with the ambitions of gaining new understanding? Why not? What would change about a class if they did?
  • Communities have to be open, they have to have some source of new material coming in, whether its raw material, resources, ideas, etc., and then they have to have some place where they can send their creative product, the things that they make, the ideas that they have.

  • A third criterion that distinguishes a community defines as a network from a community defined as a group is autonomy. And what that means is that each of the members of that community are working toward their own sense of values, their own sense of purpose, their own goals or endeavours.

      College classes too seldom incorporate the value of the student into the mix, ignoring the purposes, goals, and experiences of the student and delivering a plain vanilla product, one-size-fits-all.

  • When I say 'interactivity' I say the knowledge in the community is created by the interaction of the members of the community rather than created in one person and then spread through the community.

      This is a key to connectivism: that learning emerges, either in our minds or in our communities, from the patterns and interactions of individual people or neurons.
  • Keith Hamon on 15 Jun 10
     
    Our knowledge, our intelligence, must be based on something emergent from the connective activity of many individual neurons, can't be based on the content of a neuron, has to be based on the pattern of connectivity of these neurons. We replicate that in connectivist teaching.

    Web 2.0 & Connectivist Learning will focus on utilizing new technologies to connect, collaborate, create, and share.  The primary focus will be on teacher professional learning and building a Personal Learning Network.  We will explore in depth how web 2.0 tools like blogs, wikis, podcasts, vodcasts, social bookmarking, social networking, microblogging, and others can be utilized both for personal professional growth and how these tools might be used in the classroom.

  • Sharing content is not considered unethical; indeed, the hoarding of content is viewed as antisocial [9]. And open content is viewed not merely as nice to have but essential for the creation of the sort of learning network described by Siemens [10].
    • Keith Hamon
      Keith Hamon on 21 Jun 10
       
      Open content is one reason we prefer Google tools over Blackboard or Moodle, both of which are closed systems that restrict access to content.
  • In a nutshell, what was happening was that the Web was shifting from being a medium, in which information was transmitted and consumed, into being a platform, in which content was created, shared, remixed, repurposed, and passed along. And what people were doing with the Web was not merely reading books, listening to the radio or watching TV, but having a conversation, with a vocabulary consisting not just of words but of images, video, multimedia and whatever they could get their hands on. And this became, and looked like, and behaved like, a network.
    • Keith Hamon
      Keith Hamon on 21 Jun 10
       
      QEP wants to join this network, adding its smaller class networks to the larger network, thereby enriching both.
  • Blogging is very different from traditionally assigned learning content. It is much less formal. It is written from a personal point of view, in a personal voice. Students' blog posts are often about something from their own range of interests, rather than on a course topic or assigned project. More importantly, what happens when students blog, and read reach others' blogs, is that a network of interactions forms-much like a social network, and much like Wenger's community of practice.
    • Keith Hamon
      Keith Hamon on 21 Jun 10
       
      Student blogging is still one of the more significant strategies for encouraging students to use writing as a tool for learning and communicating.

  • What happens when online learning ceases to be like a medium, and becomes more like a platform? What happens when online learning software ceases to be a type of content-consumption tool, where learning is "delivered," and becomes more like a content-authoring tool, where learning is created? The model of e-learning as being a type of content, produced by publishers, organized and structured into courses, and consumed by students, is turned on its head. Insofar as there is content, it is used rather than read— and is, in any case, more likely to be produced by students than courseware authors. And insofar as there is structure, it is more likely to resemble a language or a conversation rather than a book or a manual.
    • Keith Hamon
      Keith Hamon on 21 Jun 10
       
      This shift from medium to platform is key to understanding writing in Web 2.0 as opposed to writing in print for it radically shifts the relationships between writer and subject and writer and reader.
  • learning comes not from the design of learning content but in how it is used
    • Keith Hamon
      Keith Hamon on 21 Jun 10
       
      This is a radical shift away from the activity of the teacher to the activity of the students.
  • Keith Hamon on 21 Jun 10
     
    E-learning has been around for ten years or so. During that time, it has emerged from being a radical idea-the effectiveness of which was yet to be proven-to something that is widely regarded as mainstream. And now, e-learning is evolving with the World Wide Web as a whole and it's changing to a degree significant enough to warrant a new name: E-learning 2.0.

      Keith Hamon on 21 Jun 10
       
      I really like this phrase - narrative of coherence. I think it captures nicely one of the main techniques of all successful learners: they are able to build a narrative of coherence that connects new knowledge to their existing knowledge base and makes it all coherent.
  • Keith Hamon on 21 Jun 10
     
    In a traditional course, the educator hacks the trails to complex information landscapes. The educator's bias influences what is included and excluded. What we're talking about here is the ability for each learner to create their own narrative of coherence.

      Well, critical thinking is one of five writing literacies taught in QEP classes. Is it the most important?
    • Thomas Clancy
      Thomas Clancy on 17 Jun 10
       
      Indeed, we are all about including the five "literacies" in our writing opportunities, even though, technically, "literacy" cannot be pluralized!
  • Instead of using the Five W’s for developing content (they’re the basics for writing a successful news piece), use the Five W’s to analyze any post/piece of writing.
    • Keith Hamon
      Keith Hamon on 17 Jun 10
       
      This is a nice technique to add to the QEP toolbox, and has a dual use for both writing and reading. Keep in mind that QEP should also address reading, as Tom points out to us.

    critical thinking demands objective examination of a topic and then a conscious response to that examination.
