Transforming education: openness and learning analytics George Siemens October 15, 2010 Presented to: Universidad del Sagrado Corazón

The inadequacy of traditional knowledge processes (institutions?)
Rapid processes of iteration, invention
Complexity & connectivity (Morin)

“more is different”

What would a university look like if created today?

Periods of innovation demand different tactics than those needed in periods of stability

Need idea collision
Openness
Diversity
Spaces for collision to occur

Late February, 2003

Global, networked research, sensemaking, & knowledge growth

April 16, 2003

First concept:

Innovation requires openness

But what does openness mean?

Product?

Process?

Open scholarship

Open teaching & learning 2008, 2009, (soon) 2011

Second concept:

Openness produces more of itself

Criticality of Creation

MOOC
Spaces of multi-voiced/perspective interaction
Coherence of knowledge formed (connected?) through participation

Third concept:

Openness & innovation require creation and participation

Information fragmentation

Knowledge coherence

Need time
Incubation
Idea collision
Randomness

Sensemaking
Through
1. Social and
2. Technological
systems

Fourth concept:

Personal knowledge must be shared and interacted with (Error detection & correction…i.e. peer review)

i.e. explicitation

and…

Once it’s data, it’s analyzable

Fifth Lesson:

Computers should do what they do best. So should people.

Structure & innovation
Hard & soft technologies and methods

The need to know ourselves
We aren't well acquainted with our thoughts (or ourselves)

What does this produce?
Failed innovations, overlooked connections

States of connectedness produce different levels of understanding
What and how something is connected determines what is possible
i.e. What is understood
Capacity, potential

Sixth concept:

Data trails reveal ourselves (intentions)

The adjacent possible

Analytics and revelation of serendipitous connections

Living the connected life
Blending digital world with physical
Connection serendipity provided through social and technological systems
e.g. Feltron, Google analytics, social media monitoring

Seventh concept:

Learning analytics transform teacher and learner roles (and education)
