    OpenID and eLearning - Presentation Transcript

    1. OpenID and eLearning Scott Wilson institute for educational cybernetics university of bolton
    2. Institute for educational what ?
      • "The science of communication and control in animal and machine” (Norbert Wiener)
      • "The science of effective organisation ” (Stafford Beer)
      • "A way of looking at things and a language for expressing what one sees” (Margaret Mead)”
      • The science and art of understanding” (Humberto Maturana)
    3. Cybernetics and identity
      • Linked to concept of autopoiesis; all systems that are autopoietic and maintain homeostasis have identity
      • Regulation in a system is concerned with the maintenance of its identity
      • From a cybernetic viewpoint, an“identity management system” is actually a system for maintaining the identity of the organisation, not those of the people it ostensibly manages
    4. Understanding education as a system
    5. Where is identity used in the elearning system?
      • Individualization
      • Self-organisation
      • Activity
      • Coordination
      • Resource management
      • Monitoring
      • Strategy
      • Adaptation
    6. Where is identity used in the elearning system?
      • Individualization
      • Self-organisation
      • Activity
      • Coordination
      • Resource management
      • Monitoring
      • Strategy
      • Adaptation
      Resource management is the focus of traditional institutional IDM “ Leaked” into Coordination & primary Activity via the LMS/VLE. A consequence of an early technology variety imbalance
    7. Where is identity used in the elearning system?
      • Individualization
      • Self-organisation
      • Activity
      • Coordination
      • Resource management
      • Monitoring
      • Strategy
      • Adaptation
      Past: anonymised data Future: identified data (ULN)
    8. Where is identity used in the elearning system?
      • Individualization
      • Self-organisation
      • Activity
      • Coordination
      • Resource management
      • Monitoring
      • Strategy
      • Adaptation
      User-centric identity, especially OpenID
    9. VLE v PLE
      • VLE
      • Resource management
      • PLE
      • Self-organisation
      • Invidividualisation
      • VLE <-> PLE
      • Coordination
    10. Distributed, user-owned technologies are not merely going to be grudgingly accepted by institutions, they are an inevitable requirement for organisational viability in the 21st Century
    11. Far from threatening institutional viability and control, distributed, user-owned technology offers an escape route from escalating costs, liabilities, and bureaucracy that come from a supply-driven model Rather than spinning us out of control, they offer a way to get back under control
    12. A supply-led approach to provision of education and provision of technology is no longer viable in an age of lifelong learning, user choice, and increasing numbers
    13. Why is OpenID interesting?
    14. it isn’t really an authentication system That’s a good thing
    15. it doesn’t really verify identity or identify the user That’s a good thing too
    16. it doesn’t require or assume policy alignment or trust Nice and flexible…
    17. it isn’t a provisioning system (Apart from SREG and AE, but they aren’t mandatory)
    18. All it does is offer a means of asserting a relationship between an agent and a URL how cool is that?
    19. This makes it a potential boundary mechanism for the coordination of individual, self-organised, and managed activity
    20. OpenID is a pivot
      • It can provide an axis of coordination between the formal system and informal systems
      • OpenID actually doesn’t really authenticate or identify anyone, but it can connect things that use identity
    21. A (bad?) example: Jyte RSS feed

      oAuth? Privacy!
    22. Some potential uses
      • Indirect evidencing & correlation, for assessment or for personal portfolio development
      • Early-commitment coordination, for early engagement without institutional commitment
      • Coordination of home/work/university boundary activities
      • Tracking activity for coordination at group/course level
      • Tracking activity for analytics and planning at course/programme/institution level
    23. Thanks for listening - over to you http:// www.cetis.ac.uk/members/scott (that’s also my OpenID, btw ;-)
