Web 2.0

The Net Generation creates its own media… Identity Production in a Networked Culture: Why Youth Heart MySpace … Danah Boyd http://www.danah.org/papers/AAAS2006.html “ The dynamics of identity production play out visibly on MySpace. Profiles are digital bodies, public displays of identity where people can explore impression management.”

Blogs and Wikis "Never have so many people written so much to be read by so few..." -- Katie Hafner NY Times. Blogger - Live Journal - Movable Type - Wordpress Educational Blogging – article Educational Weblogs - Edublogs .org Wikipedia – as compared to Britannica by Nature

Social Networking

Tagging

Asynchronous Javascript and XML (AJAX)
Jesse James Garrett in February 2005. https://bpcatalog.dev.java.net/ajax/textfield-jsf/design.html

Representational State Transfer (REST)

Application Program Interface (API) and Mash-Ups

Javascript Object Notation (JSON)

OpenID

The way networks learn is the way people learn…
they are both complex systems
the organization of each depends on connections
Connectivism (George Siemens)

E-Learning 2.0 The idea is that learning is not based on objects and contents that are stored, as though in a library

Rather, the idea is that learning is like a utility - like water or electricity - that flows in a network or a grip, that we tap into when we want

Learner centered
Learning is centered around the interests of the learner Learning is owned by the learner This implies learner choice of subjects, materials, learning styles The Concept

Immersive learning
This learning is immersive – learning by doing

Connected Learning
The computer connects the student to the rest of the world Learning occurs through connections with other learners Learning is based on conversation and interaction

Game-based learning
Examples Types: Branching, Spreadsheet, Quiz Game, Simulation Lab… http://www.downes.ca/post/11

Workflow (Informal) Learning
Types: EPSS, Community of Practice, Environment, Visualization… http://metatime.blogspot.com/

Mobile Learning
Examples: Co-op learning, drill and flash-card, instant mesaging, field trips, resource capture (like this talk!)

Online Learning at the Crossroads
On the one hand – we have developed tools and systems intended to support traditional classroom based learning
On the other hand – we could (should?) be developing tools and systems to support immersive learning. We should be developing for dynamic, immersive, living systems…

First Iteration:
User-Produced Media
Blogs and Blogging
Podcasting and
Vodcasting
Game mods and other
multimedia

Web 2.0: The Learning Network
The e-Portfolio lives in the intersection between the worlds for education, work, and home
A model for e-Portfolio as a learner-managed construct
Key requirement is easy-to-use tools and hosting services*
*E.g. the “e-Portfolio-as-blog” approach
Scott Wilson: http://www.cetis.ac.uk/members/scott/entries/20050523083528

The Idea of the PLE… http://www.cetis.ac.uk/members/ple/resources/edf.ppt

Plex Personal Learning Environment Example http://reload.ces.strath.ac.uk/plex/

Collecting and Filtering RSS http://www.downes.ca/mygluframe.htm

RSS Writr http://www.downes.ca/editor/writr.htm

Edu_RSS Viewer http://www.downes.ca/cgi-bin/page.cgi?action=viewer

The Challenge… How to find the right resource…
at the right time
for the right person

The old way – use descriptions
Dublin Core
Learning Object Metadata
http://www.capuano.biz/Papers/ITS%202000/ITS%202000.htm

The New Way: Recommender Systems
A are mapped between:
User profile – properties of given users
Resource profile – properties of the resource
Previous evaluations of other resources
http://www.slideshare.net/Downes/projecting-quality http://www.slideshare.net/Downes/quality-standards-its-all-about-teaching-and-learning/

Relations between Entities…

Finding Resources is like Finding Patterns in the Mesh the knowledge is in the network the knowledge is the network Old: universals – rules – categories New: patterns – patterns – similarities http://www.bbsonline.org/Preprints/OldArchive/bbs.tenenbaum.html

stands for? Or is caused by? Distributed Representation = a pattern of connectivity Hopfield

Where is the PLE?
