Activity 1: Let’s open a backchannel

 We created a group DIYLMS in Edmodo (code 83rwm5)
 Twitter (hoping there would be some tweets)


   This would be a good opportunity for someone to tweet
               about this session using the tag

                                           DIYLMS12

                                  p.s. Conference tag is TACON12

Activity 2: Brainstorm online

 Facilitator creates an online common space
   http://titanpad.com/WOyYy8R4Tm

 Facilitator seeds the space with general features of LMS
  from participants
 We create and share Tiny URL of that space
       http://tinyurl.com/diylms12
 We form groups according to features
 Each group develops ONE aspect of the document
 We discuss each other’s ideas (something about chickens)

Siemens’s features of good LMS part 1

From: http://www.elearnspace.org/Articles/lms.htm
 Have a place for learner expression (blog/portfolio)
 Have a place for content interaction (LMS' have this)
 Have a place to connect with other learners (discussion
  forum - LMS' have this)
 Have a place to connect the thoughts of other learners in
  a personal, meaningful way - i.e. using RSS and then
  brought back into the "learner expression tool“
 Have a place to dialogue with the instructor
  (email, VoIP, etc. - webct has some of this)

Vance Stevens TESOL Arabia 2012
Siemens’s features of good LMS part 1

 Have a place to dialogue with gurus (apprentice) - the heart of
  online communities is the mess of varying skills and expertise.
  Gurus are people currently in industry or established
  practitioners of the organizing theme of the community. LMS
  limit the interaction to learner and instructor.
 Have a place for learning artifacts of those who've gone
  before - i.e. content management capabilities accessible and
  managed by the learner. Tools like Furl, del.icio.us are
  examples of personal knowledge management (PKM) tools.
 Be modularized so additional functionality and tools can be
  added based on what learners want or need...a bricolage of
  course tools - based on open standards - allow for
  incorporation of new approaches as needed.

Activity 3: Collaborative writing & sharing

From this handout:
http://diylms.pbworks.com/w/file/51521689/diylms12_Collaboration_gdocs_delicious.pdf

 We use Google Docs
 Delicious
 Tiny URL


  By the end of this exercise we should be able to aggregate
                      our work at this url:
             http://delicious.com/tag/diylms12


Vance Stevens TESOL Arabia 2012
Activity 4: Tag Games

How can we aggregate our tags? We'll need some volunteers ...

 Can someone go onto their Delicious account and tag as many sites
  as you can think of relevant to diylms12 ?
 Can anyone take pictures and upload them to Flickr and tag
  them diylms12 ?
 Can someone tweet on the hash tag #diylms12
 Can someone with a Posterous account please
  join http://diylms.posterous.com and email a post message
  to diylms@posterous.com
    Instructions from Posterous: "Replace the subject line and body with your
    first post and hit send! Include pictures, an mp3, or anything else you want to
    share. It's just that simple."
