Learning2gether Episode 201

On Sun Feb 9 Jozef Colpaert discussed 12 CALL Challenges as an Electronic Village Online event for Week 4 (Clustering) in MultiMOOC EVO session and as a Connecting Online 14 conference event (CO14)

What was this about?

Where? WizIQ

Announcements

Our discussion stems from Dr. Colpaert’s presentation at WorldCALL in Glasgow, July 2013

The 12 challenges Jozef Colpaert recently identified and presented at WorldCALL 2013 in Glasgow are classified into three categories:

  1. contextual (academic meritocracy, academic value of CALL, myths/hypes and broad-public perception),
  2. methodological (design, replication, slow research and transdisciplinarity), and
  3. epistemological (open, psychological, smart and sustainable aspects)

A personal learning framework
http://www.wiziq.com/online-class/1553512-co14-a-personal-learning-framework-with-stephen-downes

As we evolved into the next generation of MOOCs, it will become increasingly important to be able to manage our personal learning activities ourselves, rather than to depend on a particular institution. In this presentation, Stephen Downes outlines and defends this proposition, showing how personal learning support will benefit people from school through formal education through to the workplace.

Sun Feb 9 Dr Revathy Viswanathan at CO14
Dr Revathy Viswanathan kicked off CO14 for Sunday Feb 9 noon GMT with a talk entitled
“Scope for Teacher Development in Digital Era”
http://www.wiziq.com/online-class/1571182-co14-scope-for-teacher-development-in-digital-era

Teachers in this digital era have varied teaching experiences in their classrooms. Every session is challenging and educative to both teachers and that is facilitated more by advanced technologies. With the growing trend of using emerging technologies, it has become essential for teachers to update their knowledge of integrating technology in a traditional classroom. It must be stated that universities have to pave way for augmenting the use of new technologies in a classroom by revamping curriculum periodically. In that way it provides opportunity for teachers to develop their teaching and professional skills besides providing exposure to new technological tools to students. In this presentation, the presenter would share her experience of using Wiki and Blogs with her students in teaching written communication. She would further highlight the way those tools had helped her to design materials for learning and also created opportunities for encouraging students to work in online platforms.

And earlier this week, there were also

Hello Little World, Feb 24

Is MOOCs making us stupid?

Here’s the teaser

And now the hangout

It resonates with me where Keith talks about his disorientation since the first MOOC he attended, where he had to figure out how to do it better next time. He concludes, “Almost anything you pick in a MOOC will work for you … One of the things I learned to give up very quickly was trying to get it all.  I’m not going to.”

At 25:01 Dave says, “I wonder if that binding that you’re talking about when we look at … one of the first criticisms that people have of the Internet, of Twitter, of MOOCs,  abundant things generally … and I see certainly the potential of rhizomatic learning totally bundled with abundance … I wonder if the shaping that normally happens in curriculum is about creating certainty through scarcity — so that we say that these are the things that we’re going to learn, and then as learners we’ve gotten accustomed to not missing anything, being getting all the curriculum because we were supposed to get it all, and whether or not that’s one of the sort of underlying  constructs of the paper based world that needs to be opened up for people to be able to learn and think rhizomatically.”
