Navigating the Marvellous: Openness in Education - #altc 2014Catherine Cronin
Keynote presentation for #ALTC 2014. A fuller link to video & a summary of the keynote is here: http://catherinecronin.wordpress.com/2014/09/09/navigating-marvellous/
Abstract: Inspired by a Seamus Heaney poem (Lightenings viii), I’ll explore “navigating the marvellous”, the challenge of embracing open practices, of being open, in higher education, from the perspective of educators and students, citizens and policy makers. To be in higher education is to learn in two worlds: the open world of informal learning and networked connections, and the predominantly closed world of the institution. As higher education moves slowly, warily, and unevenly towards openness, students deal daily with the dissonance between these two worlds; navigating their own paths between them, and developing different skills, practices, and identities in the various learning spaces which they visit and inhabit. Educators also make daily choices about the extent to which they teach, share their work, and interact, with students and others, in bounded and open spaces. How might we construct and navigate Third Spaces of learning, not formal or informal but combined spaces where connections are made between students and educators (across all sectors), scholars, thinkers, and citizens — and where a range of identities and literacy practices are welcomed? And if, as Joi Ito has said, openness is a survival trait for the future, how do we facilitate this process of “opening education”? The task is one not just of changing practices but of culture change; we can learn much from other movements for justice, equality and social change.

This short slide presentation was prepared for a short "lightning talk" at the Rails Girls Galway workshop, 21st June 2014. The presentation explores the reasons for the under-representation of women in STEM and some of the initiatives which have been tried to redress this gender imbalance. The presentation concludes by advocating a holistic approach including not just initiatives to support and advocate for girls and women, but initiatives to change IT and STEM culture -- in schools, universities, labs, community & maker spaces, and workplaces.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

to openness & open education
critical disposition
“criticism of what exists,
restoring what is being
lost, pointing towards
possible futures; and
sometimes…
being criticized ourselves”
(Michael Apple, 1990)
critical theory
a focus on the concrete
operations of power and a
rejection of all forms of
oppression, injustice,
and inequality
(as in critical pedagogy)
6. Who defines openness?
Who is included and who is excluded when education is ‘opened’,
and in what ways?
In what contexts and ways do open education initiatives achieve
their aims (e.g. increasing access, fostering inclusivity, enhancing
learning, developing capacity and agency, empowering
individuals, groups, and communities), if at all?
Could open education initiatives, in practice, do the opposite of
what they are intended to do? What does that look like?
What does emancipatory open education look like?

8. The role of higher education, and educators, is to
work on nurturing digital literacies across the
curriculum, taking into account the inequalities
of access to opportunities to develop digital
literacies before and outside of higher education,
and keeping in mind the intersectionality of
incoming students and how their priorities within
digital literacies will differ.

9. We define radical digital citizenship as a
process by which individuals and groups committed to
social justice critically analyse the social, political and
economic consequences of digital technologies in
everyday life and collectively deliberate and take action
to build alternative and emancipatory technologies and
technological practices.
… the cornerstone is the insistence that citizenship is a
process of becoming – that it is an active and
reflective state for individual and collective thinking and
practice for collective action for the common good.
Akwugo Emejulu & Callum McGregor (2016)

10. Critical technological consciousness… not only
necessary for creating the mass demand that digital platforms
and tools strive to uphold democratic principles but also for
creating a body politic capable of recognizing the often-
overlooked ways software can alternately impinge or advance
democratic freedoms and steering them accordingly.
Given the universality and urgency of political issues related to
digital tools and platforms, we should recognize the cultivation of
critical technological consciousness as a core responsibility of
educational practices today.

14. The digital divide is a noun; it is the consequence of
many forces. In contrast, digital redlining is a verb,
the “doing” of difference, a “doing” whose consequences
reinforce existing class structures. In one era, redlining
created differences in physical access to schools,
libraries, and home ownership. In my classes, we work
to recognize how digital redlining is integrated into
technologies, and especially education technologies,
and is producing similar kinds of discriminatory results.

The heart of all approaches to open practices…
to develop critical digital and data literacies
and to foster agency on the part of all
learners and educators regarding whether, how,
and in what contexts they choose to be open.

If we lived in a democratic state our language would have to
hurtle, fly, course and sing, in all the undeniable and
representative and participating voices of everybody here.
We would make our language conform to the truth of our
many selves and we would make our language lead us into
the quality of power that a democratic state must represent.
