    I really enjoyed clicking through your presentation. I got a lot out of it just from a visual standpoint. I'd love to hear you give this presentation face to face. Nicely done.

  • courosa Alec Couros , Professor at Faculty of Education, University of Regina No problem, Leigh. I take your critique very seriously and was genuinely interested. The slides alone can be misleading without the audio. The only time I used those slides was for EdMedia, and unfortunately, the session wasn't recorded. Next time I make the point, I'll record the audio and throw it your way.

    And in case you were wondering about the slide before that, it's a screenshot from http://www.cord.edu/experience . Traditionally, when universities create their institutional presence, they often design it from various viewpoints 'prospective faculty, current students, prospective students' as you know. I used the virtual experience to explain that while you can make this process as pretty as you want, in the end, it's still (like the 'choose your own adventure' books) finite choice, illusion, and placebo for unique perspective.

    Thanks for your time.

  • leighblackall Leigh Blackall , Educational developer at University of Canberra Wow! You did? I had to go back an have another look... so you did! I missed it! There were so many slides that seemed to celebrate the new media we have, and what we could be doing with it, that the critical meaning of 63, 64, and 65 was lost on me! Lucky I commented!

    I saw the over-all critique of the out-of-date education system, and thought slide 65 was a repeat of the cliche that the 'natives' are all connected, yet we (HE) make them sit in rows still.. thinking that was the message only, and missing the message in 63 and 64, I thought I was being smart by pointing out what in fact you WERE pointing out.. that in all this choice, it is a mere illusion. Not just in HE, but in our society! We all look the same, we all buy macbooks instead of ring folders now, and we all play the part - in this case 'student'.

    I've underestimated you Alec! Sorry for that.. I'm a bit embarrassed now! Would love to rewatch this with audio now.. and perhaps a condensed version, using the 10 key slides...

  • courosa Alec Couros , Professor at Faculty of Education, University of Regina @leigh - Can you explain your comment on slide #65 (the room full of laptops) - I'm just not sure what you mean. I use that and the 2 preceding slides to explain that as much as we try in formal education, we will never get beyond limited choice. I use the metaphor of 'choose your own adventure books' (slide 64) to say that education merely offers us the illusion of choice. 1 year ago Reply

  • leighblackall Leigh Blackall , Educational developer at University of Canberra But there's something in the reality of slide 65 that contradicts the virtual argument on all the other slides... with all the choice, they made only 2... 1 year ago Reply

  • sarahs Sarah Stewart , Education developer & facilitator at Otago Polytechnic Loved this great summary of why we need to think about why we network online. Will be passing it on to the crew of the 'Facilitating Online 2010' crew. Am thinking I should do a similar presentation in which I wear my hat of midwife, focusing on professional development and networking in health and midwifery. Thanks :) 1 year ago Reply
