    2. objectives
    3. Presentation Objectives
      • Define “Educational Social Software”
      • Identify the unique attributes and challenges of self-paced online learning environments
      • Discuss the theoretical framework for developing socially constructed self-paced learning environments
      • Identify technologies and design approaches to foster socially constructed learning
      • Describe the interaction modalities depicted in the Interaction Matrix
    4. foundations
    5. interaction self-paced learning emerging communication approaches social networking educational social software personalized learning landscape
    6. “Traditional” e-Learning
      • Content delivery via LMS
      • Students must revisit course site to access content
      • No automated notification of new content
      • Instructor has primary control of content creation & delivery
      • Learning to take place in a centralized context

    57. (Derek Wenmoth, 2006)
    58. “ the heart of the concept of the PLE is that it is a tool that allows a learner (or anyone) to engage in a distributed environment consisting of a network of people, services and resources. It is not just Web 2.0, but it is certainly Web 2.0 in the sense that it is (in the broadest sense possible) a read-write application.” - Stephen Downes, 2006

    70. “ Informally connected groups of learners characterized by an environment in which members are autonomous, divers, and able to control the frequency, substance, and duration of their participation” - Downes, 2006
    71.  
    72. “ The largest form of social granularity in which members participate for individual benefit, but their activities are harvested to generate the ‘wisdom of the crowds’...a kind of cyber-organism, formed from people linked algorithmically...it grows through the aggregation of individual, group, and netwoked activities. The distinctive dynamic is one of aggregation, not networking.” - Anderson & Dron, 2007
    73.  
    74.  
    75.  
    76. recommendations
    77. Purposefully design informal interactions into the learning environment Provide opportunities and incentives for learners to explore the educational social software tools Consider alternative approaches where necessary to best meet learner needs
    78. challenge
      • “ Give a man a fish; you have fed him for today. Teach a man to fish; and you have fed him for a lifetime” - Author Unknown
    79. Learning is ongoing... ...provide tools to support learning
