Online organisation techniques and a bit of connected learning theory – LT06

Presenter: Robert Flavell Workshop: A3 and B2 Topic: eLearning 2.0 Tools and Techniques

Where are we going?
Web 2.0 – the “read-write” web
eLearning 2.0
Connectivism
An example - folksonomy
A collection of tools and techniques

Web 2.0
A set of tools to aggregate and remix (and repurposed) microcontent – or “distributed data”
Creating rather than transmission and consumption
Read-Write Web – Web 2.0 (Two Point Oh)
Rollyo , writely , wayfaring , youtube , Google maps API : bikely
Social networking: linkedin , flickr , del.icio.us
blogs , wikis - great example of idea mash-ups

The process: Around time of death 1 2 An hour later

eLearning 2.0
Stephen Downes – eLearning 2.0
Less prescriptive – from institution to individual
Combination of discreet, but complimentary tools
Ad-hoc learning communities
Extends beyond classes, schools, and borders (eg: blogs, wikis, podcasts, etc.)

MY BLOG Flickr - Images YouTube for video Del.icio.us - Links Google Maps – Geo-positioning RSS

George Siemens - Connectivism
The pipe is more important than the content within the pipe
Learning is no longer an internal, individualistic activity
Know-how and know-what is being supplemented with know-where
Decision making – what/when to learn
Connections between fields/ideas (sometimes disparate, fosters innovation)

An example: Folksonomy
Internet-based information retrieval methodology – collaboratively generated
Tags – used for categorizing web sites (del.icio,us), photos (flickr), emails (Gmail) and anything else…
Public – see who has tagged with the same term – a connection

Social Tagging
Tagging provides immediate self and social feedback with low cognitive cost. ( Rashmi Sinha )
Common ground without conversing
Unlikely connections = innovation
Trends – digg , populicio.us

Blogs and RSS
Free blog sites – blogger
RSS – a standard for data exchange
Free aggregators - bloglines
Learners write – Aggregate – Blog/Comment

Del.icio.us Search Engine
del.icio.us/tag/search_term_here
Digging for gold made easy
Human (tags) vs. computer (google)
RSS feed of a particular tag ( popular or all )
