− | Majority of use by educators is in PD -
| + | |
− | Kahn Academy videos replicated inArabic
| + | == Test 2 == WikiSpaces --> WikiText export --> WinRar zip -->paste |
− | Affordance of media simplifies reuse - e.g. new soundtrack over video
| + | ession: Alan Levine |
− | OERu model
| + | |
− | Collect resources - learn - do PLAR or challenge - or use basis to get upper level entries
| + | **Openness - playful, should be having fun** |
− | Rather than creating courses, create resources
| + | (Liveshare) |
− | Open assessement and student adminstration as parts of the model
| + | Requires open attitudes |
− | Incentives for involvement in OERs and use of them:
| + | Shrinking of distance between students and experts |
− | - framework tied to the literature (from fluidproject.org)
| + | Various ways of following a course without not necessarily participating in a full curriculum (e.g. Grant Potter's radio station) |
− | - much reuse within own organization (UBC)
| + | |
− | Faculty comfortable with traditional model
| + | **Session: Open videos** |
− | Access Copyright is a catalyst
| + | //Open content// |
− | Context - people have a hard time clicking edit on a Wiki
| + | Open educators - access to experts' educating processes |
− | Much knowledge building needs to be done
| + | Open learning - deconstructs knowledge as a moving target - knowledge as negotiated -takes away hierarchy of right and truth - gives us all power in knowledge |
− | Look up Brian Lamb's ->how to keep things open
| + | |
− | Need success stories before cultural shift happens
| + | //Blogging with students// |
− | Ethnographic research required as well - to understand the workflow
| + | Where he does most of his learning |
− | Use librarians to find OERs?
| + | Where he meaningfully connects to other educators |
− | freelearning.ca code (can find open materials)
| + | Personal learning space not PLN |
− | Copyright
| + | E.g Da Vinci project - blog became their notebook and got to share it |
− | Fair use-US concept stronger than Canadian
| + | Learn more by sharing than by searching |
− | Demand letters--e.g Getty images - scouring Internet and getting letters with invoices
| + | Learn with each other and help each other learn |
− | UBC using CC materials for many applications - set up web page for fee educational events - asserted
| + | Keeps everyone connected even outside of school |
− | that UBC was not non commercial enterprise (def of non commercial in CC not as clear as it used to be) -
| + | Students taking over learning in the school |
− | also didn't like the attribution (used Flickr user name rather than real name for attribution)
| + | We often are confined by the laws in our classrooms - we "thin the walls" (Couros) |
− | Share and share alike is seen by artists and creators as being used by like organizations - even blogs that
| + | "How can you use blogs to enhance your own learning?" |
− | carry advertising may be seen as a commercial use - many people making money on the Internet - artists
| |
− | troubled by lack of engagement from users of images
| |
− | Archive.org has repertoire in public domain
| |
− | Difficulties - ok in classroom but not at a conference or classroom setting
| |
− | In Canada - research, private study, criticism, comment, news reporting
| |
− | Limited body of cases in Canada - legal advisors tend to be conservative
| |
− | Fair dealing is a fairness test - subjective
| |
− | -purpose, character, a

− | Open source software - benefits
| |
− | Possible to design university infrastructure using open source software?
| |
− | All faculty staff students actively contributing to OSS community

− | - two roads
| |
− | -- golden road - open journal or green road -self publish
| |
− | AU Press
| |
− | directory of open access journals www.doaj.org (why not have faculty look for open resources?)
| |
− | - Open gov - make government information more available publicly
| |
− | Learning analytics another form of potential open data
| |
− | Move toward datasets toward students - let them see where they're going and receive advice on
| |
− | achievement of their learning outcomes
| |
− | What data is being gathered about students - how available is it to them? Who owns that data?
| |
− | OERs - 4 Rs
| |
− | Open textbooks
| |
− | Open pedagogies - digital storytelling, es106 mooc - PLENK2010 - courses visible to anyone - students

− | "Open pedagogies" Moodlemoot
| |
− | Teaching technologies - faculty
| |
− | Handling teacher expectations in terms of support
| |
− | Technologist supporting faculty for one semester
| |
− | Challenge - deliver as much support to as many courses as possible
| |
− | Assigned to work with instructors on blog project
| |
− | Instructor wanted to know latest technologies and tools to use
| |
− | Weekly posts aggregated into final posts
| |
− | Worked as collaboration with Ed Tech and instructor/or help out with the dirty work (2 different views)
| |
− | How the solution is framed at the beginning and a clear message is important
| |
− | (IDEA - let instructor and support negotiate own learning goals)
| |
− | Q - solution in search of a problem - support often wants to know how to use tech without identifying
| |
− | need
| |
− | A - anti-technology workshops - don't use tech unless it makes your life easier or supports learning
| |
− | A - doesn't have to be a problem that technology is going to fix (need time to play with it)
| |
− | A - let people play but they have to share some of what they learned in Wiki
| |
− | Sense of play is important - need safe place to try things out
| |
− | Open attitude is important
| |
− | Some faculty commit to technology too early and then need help in middle of course when it's not the
| |
− | right technology
| |
− | Q - How many use parameters before letting people use tech?
| |
− | A - Some are just wide open
| |
− | A - We need a framework for innovation and adoption of technology

| |
− | A - Collaborative process - but also need to be pedagogical guide - sometimes you have to be the voice to
| |
− | speak to them
| |
− | A - No one right answer - depends on individual needs
| |
− | A - Need technology innovation framework
| |
− | A - Use Twitter or other "IM" tool for faculty and techs/IDs to use
| |
− | A - Use social network to help
| |
− | A - Need to build human connection - to make good things happen - can't always force good ideas on
| |
− | others
| |
− | A - Works better to bring disciplines
| |
− | A few summary points from the group
| |
− | - ask questions
| |
− | - play
| |
− | - peer support
| |
− | - know your audience
| |
− | - share things that work
| |
− | - allow needs and goals to emerge
| |
− | - culture is important
| |
− | - this is a "meta profession" - need to apply many different sets of skills
| |
− | - please engage your IT department early in the process
| |
− | Facilitating - Social networking - Sylvie Currie and Cindy Xin
| |
− | Facilitation = moderating functions - communcative acts - cognitive and communicative - support
| |
− | interaction - keep conversation alive - involves both teachers and students - critique of community of
| |
− | inquiry model - get Cindy's paper - cognitive, social, teaching and collaborative presence -
| |
− | - highly context dependent - not just process but process and content
| |
− | - facilitating in the open is quite different - overwhelmed with information and updates (i.e. MOOC)
| |
− | - meaning of open - examples:
| |
− | -- formal, informal
| |
− | --discussion forum for online courses - could be credit course with others invited in or able to view while
| |
− | not officially enrolled
| |
− | --credit students but also audit students
| |
− | --discussion forum is open in that it exposes the thinking of all students in an online course
| |
− | --disagree - online discussion not open because it's limited to the course and it's hard to be aware of those
| |
− | who are in the course but not engaged in the discussion
| |
− | --also need time for private and public times in a course
| |
− | --sometimes being closed is important as well
| |
− | --blogs (e.g. Stephen Downes' blog) or "my amazing stories"
| |
− | --some courses open to wider discussion - invite K-12 students to bring in their families
| |
− | --ephemeral hashtag discussions on Twitter
| |
− | --Open = not prescribed people participating
| |
− | --Hegel - freedom is recognition of necessity - thus need to understand need to participate in open | |
− | activities
| |
− | Activity - Generating cases of open types of activities - gravitate to the one that interests you - take one
| |
− | question from each
| |
− | TWITTER CHATS
| |
− | - unstructured place - not much moderation, can't do much to keep people from crashing the party - give
| |

| |
− | etug-spring-11
| |
− | home
| |
− | people sense of what the unexpected might be in case people "crash the tag"
| |
− | - eg DS106 radio - in open range of expression modes is more flexible - can have sense of fun
| |
− | - people who try to own a Twitter tag don't get the ephemeral nature of the medium - hashtags are a way
| |
− | to facilitate discussion but by nature ephemeral - that's the nature of it
| |
− | ONLINE DISCUSSIONS
| |
− | - how to handle volume - (came up in the MOOC sense) | |
− | - not possible to respond to everything
| |
− | - how to manage a discussion forum in terms of its size - what is optimal size? depends on task inside
| |
− | discussion forum
| |
− | - some expectations (wrong) that we need to respond to every post)
| |
− | - not only facilitator but tap others on the shoulder to take on particular role - e.g. synthesizing and
| |
− | summarizing then cast forward - like traffic control
| |
− | - need guidelines around protocols - e.g. respect toward others
| |
− | - whether there should be time frame (permanently open or start and end date)
| |
− | - allow them to breathe - allow time to grow
| |
− | - having all the past discussions available gets them a sense of the culture that has developed
| |
− | MOOCS
| |
− | - how MOOC might be inclusive - see the profiles and presence of everyone
| |
− | - how do we know if participants are satisfied - follow backchannels
| |
− | - have them create learning path and objectives
| |
− | Turning Social Media to Enterprise
| |
− | UBC wiki - university wide - accessible to anyone (CWL required)
| |
− | not course based | |
− | year long Beta - > 3000 users
| |
− | 3.8 M page views
| |
− | Q - how to keep Wiki organized (e.g. object findable)
| |
− | bottom up rather than top down grown community gathering
| |
− | policies grown from user base
| |
− | ORGANIZATION
| |
− | Wiki divided - no single minded purpose but a space for collaboration and resource development-
| |
− | Spaces:
| |
− | 1. Main Space
| |
− | information about UBC - "encyclopedia"
| |
− | central page with lists of resources (e.g. pubs on campus, lists of pubs
| |
− | 2. Course spaces - LMS - LOs into the Wiki
| |
− | eg Math course - whole course portal including homework pages, discussions, decided not to use Vista
| |
− | Poli sci - use for forum (Liquid Threads add on for discussions)
| |
− | 3. Documentation
| |
− | can be constantly updated
| |
− | eg eportfolio, ETC courses, etc. all is available on the web
| |
− | 4. Sandbox
| |
− | anyone can go in and do what they want - no rules
| |
− | don't index it formally
| |
− | eg student in library education - did project on Wiki rather than turning it in
| |
− | page 6 / 8
| |
− | etug-spring-11
| |
− | home
| |
− | Q - why choose Media Wiki? main criteria - mature active developer community
| |
− | Q - naming protocol for pages - namespace:UBC nomenclature of course codes - not always used but
| |
− | mostly ok - is you use course namespaces it will update index automatically
| |
− | Q - concept of Wiki gardener?
| |
− | Problem with Wiki this size is it isn't seen as community but more as a tool
| |
− | Trying to use best practices in terms of policies
| |
− | Wiki is just now starting to gel together as a community space
| |
− | Don't just service Wiki but also communicate with users
| |
− | Not all content needs to be on Wiki
| |
− | Library uses Wiki as CMS - content then goes out to library website
| |
− | Page in Wiki for library branch hours - then gets pulled into library website
| |
− | also goes into other locations - one person updates and gets updated across the various locations
| |
− | Q - how has it been publicized
| |
− | A - growth has been organic - mainly word of mouth
| |
− | CMS - course content pulled from Wiki - if they have WP plugin or embed code
| |
− | Information is available for wider distribution - all available from Wordpress.org
| |
− | Can develop content as formatted book then download as PDF
| |
− | URLs handled as footnotes
| |
− | Also credits content providers
| |
− | - BLOG
| |
− | BuddyPress in the front end
| |
− | Very few support requests with over 7k users
| |
− | Can set up groups, friend and unfriend
| |
− | Will have privacy control at page level
| |
− | Dynamic platform - getting publishing every few seconds in busy times
| |
− | Every student should have a blog to use as eportfolio
| |
− | Is also available for alumni - in perpetuity
| |
− | Wikiembed - can make course notes available in Wiki and blog and then load into LMS
| |
− | Can push open as far as you want
| |
− | Javascript - wikiembed - refresh based on frequency desired (configure)
| |
− | plug in like Twitter - PulsePress theme (control panel behind to configure - refrehses as you go - can use
| |
− | for students to ask questions etc.
| |
− | Can develop new website based on template - WP panel
| |
− | Now over 350 websites in develop
| |
− | Remove technology overhead from faculties and schools who use it (like Google menu - can expand
| |
− | services available)
| |
− | Three layers - tech, support units, users
| |
− | Q - can provide comments on entries?
| |
− | A - yes
| |
− | Q - University invested in Vista - how can you justify resources put into this?
| |
− | A - Addresses needs where open is required or desired
| |
− | Saves costs of individual websites - one central platform that's aways up to date
| |
− | Didn't mandate - just made available for everyone
| |
− | Q - isn't UBC looking at LMS - was this considered in the deliberation?
| |
− | A - this is a bit of a leap of the imagination - don't have basic things like automatic enrolment - would like
| |
− | to see more people doing it - viable and superior alternatives to LMSs
