Mobile devices for learning: Seven things to remember (plus or minus two). John Cook
Pre-dinner talk at Successful deployment: networked handheld devices for learning and teaching. A good practice workshop for schools, colleges, universities, work-based learning and community education. ALT/Becta.
New tools have often got bad press in the past. In the present we are seeing fragmentation of literacy abilities. BUT informal and formal learning better understood. This may hold a solution for on-site and off-campus learning integration. Back to the future: Augmented Contexts for Development. The future “is necessarily less predictable than the past”!
In this paper I argue that the context for learning in the 21st Century has brought about the need to re-conceptualize or extend theories from the past if we are to develop an approach to learning design for the present and the future. Such an undertaking would appear to be timely as the nature of learning is being augmented and accelerated by new digital tools and media, particularly by mobile devices and the networks and structures to which they connect people.

Create, Collaborate and Curate: working and supporting 21st Century learners.debbieholley1
This talk will explore potential ways forward in terms of thinking about how we can reconceptualise materials for the digital age. Open Educational Resources (OERS) offers the affordances for us to create, individually or in groups and to share our artefacts for reuse and repurpose; digital tools can assist us in collaborations across the world, or even just across our own campus. Curating of our own work as well as that of our students can offer affordances of building profiles for different stakeholders in the learning process (for example, librarians, learning technologists, ALS as well as language experts) and by sharing we develop more collegiate ways of working. With modelling the good practices we want our own learners to embrace, we can overcome the challenges of the ‘new’, while retaining and valuing our existing evidence based teaching. The work of Lev Vygotsky frames this approach, and offers insights into how technology can mediate and enhance the ‘more capable peer’role in developing materials for use by, and with, our students.
The aim of this project is to provide a contextualised, social and historical account of urban education, focusing on systems and beliefs that contribute to the construction of the surrounding discourses.
Another aim of this project is to scaffold the trainee teachers’ understanding of what is possible with mobile learning in terms of filed trips.

Mobile technologies in HE: The possible vs the practicalZak Mensah
Mobile technology available through smartphones, iphones and personal digital assistants is becoming increasingly common as web browsers with more wireless capabilities and faster internet speeds are now standard on an average new mobile phone. At the same time the number of students with mobile technology is increasing and there are more opportunities to use these devices for their formal and informal learning within the VLE.
This paper examines how we can use the mobile technology currently available to enhance current teaching and learning practices within the VLE, without complicating them. The paper through both survey data and case study's also investigates how your students may already be using their mobile devices as part of their education. It then uses survey data to examine the reality of today versus the possibilities for the future.

Design to Integrate Knowledge Building with Individual Learning in Open Learn...Bodong Chen
This presentation calls for designs of new social media to fill the gap of learner communication and collaboration in current Educational Resources (OER) movement. While various OER projects have created a vast ocean of quality learning materials, comparably little effort has been put on nurturing a learner community around a single or multiple OER repositories. The Knowledge Building pedagogy which emphasizes social and cultural aspects of learning could come in and play a role in this movement. No design idea has been discussed in this presentation, but many questions that have to be answered are put forward for discussion.
This presentation/paper focuses on an interaction design curriculum within an international collaborative education project as a case-study to demonstrate an approach to constructing hybrid e-learning environment which contains both physical classrooms and online virtual interactive-3D environments.

Using the Participatory Patterns Design (PPD) Methodology to Co-Design Groupware: Confer a Tool for Workplace Informal Learning
Edmedia 2016, June, Vancouver, Canada: https://www.academicexperts.org/conf/edmedia/2016/papers/48568/
John Cook, CMIR, UWE Bristol & Learning Layers team
The Internet-mobile device enabled social networks of today stand accused of being so called 'weapons of mass distraction' or worse. However, we point out that modern fears about the dangers of social networking are overdone. The paper goes on to present three phases of mobile learning state-of-the-art that articulate what is possible now and in the near future for mobile learning. The Learning Layers project is used to provide a case of barriers and possibilities for mobile learning; we report on extensive initial co-design work and significant barriers with respect to the design of a mobile Help Seeking tool for the Healthcare sector (UK). We then provide an account of how the Help Seeking tool is being linked to a Social Semantic Server and report on a follow-up empirical co-design study.
In this paper we define the notion of the Hybrid Social Learning Network. We propose mechanisms for interlinking and enhancing both the practice of professional learning and theories on informal learning. Our approach shows how we employ empirical and design work and a participatory pattern workshop to move from (kernel) theories via Design Principles and prototypes to social machines articulating the notion of a HSLN. We illustrate this approach with the example of Help Seeking for healthcare professionals.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

5. Vision & position Now’s the time to be an open learner? Yes, learners have more control and a cornucopia of resources and networks to choose from. But, learners need equity of access to cultural resources. Ubiquitous technologies can be viewed as cultural resources for ubiquitous mobility and learning. New patterns of power, participation and inclusion are emerging.
6. Technology is embedded in cultural practices integrated in & determined by an institutions cultural scripts E.G. Anderson (2011) reports a lack of motivation for distance education content developers & Faculty to use OERs define themselves by production of quality content not by consumption & customization of content created by others Technology also emerges from specific socio-cultural structures individualised, mobilized mass communication E.G.

35. Open Scholarship Taking my lead from the likes of Cochran-Smith and Lytle (2009) I take an ‘Inquiry as Stance’ approach, which is where I encourage teams to broadened inquiry from, for example, a study of classroom/online practice to a lifelong habit of mind wherein teams link up to researchers and practitioners from around the world, where teams become networked, using an inquiry lens to question any aspect of the educational system with the social justice goal of more equitable outcomes for students. This is how I helped develop research and development teams within LTRI, the Reusable Learning Objects CETL and the London Mobile Learning Group (LMLG).

36. Open Scholarship Weller (2010) refers to Boyer’s (1990) definition of scholarship in terms of discovery (i.e. the creation of new knowledge), integration (i.e. creating knowledge across disciplines), application (i.e. engagement with the wider community beyond education) and teaching (i.e. applying research to teaching) Weller lists characteristics of digital scholarship: openness and sharing as a default, digital, and networked, a global network of peers to generate and share ideas Weller cites the way in which Twitter, for example, can enable researchers to have access to immediate expertise but points out that you build networks first Weller, M.

37. Open Scholarship Garnett and Ecclesfield (2011, forthcoming ALT-C proceedings) note that building on the Taxonomy of the Many (Anderson & Dron 2007) Anderson looks at how learning is moving from the group to the collective (Dron 2008), challenging Boyer’s institution-centric approach. Anderson additionally sees a key function of Open Scholarship as being “empowering learners as future teachers.” Haythornthwaite (2009) sees “contributory, open and participatory practices” as signifying trends in learning which signify the “emergent work” They update Boyer’s DIAT model suggesting the following set of descriptors (changes highlighted in red) Garnett and Ecclesfield go on to propose an additional ‘type” of Scholarship, that of co-creating based on The Pedagogy, Andragogy, Heutagogy Continuum, which is part of the Open Context Model of Learning (Luckin et al., 2007) developed by the Learner Generated Context group: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Learner_generated_context Luckin, R., Akass, J., Cook, J., Day, P., Ecclesfield, N., Garnett, F.

39. Open scholarly support I have recently been working as one of London Met’s Blended Learning Champions (BLCs) Involves mentoring fellow BLCs and Faculty colleagues in terms of digital literacy Link to slides I used in a session with fellow BLCs in September 2010 “Student engagement and feedback in material design and participation (mobile devices/forums/blogs/wikis)”: http://www.slideshare.net/johnnigelcook/blc-cook Here is an email from the Associate Dean thanking our BLC team for running Faculty staff development day in February 2011: “You all did brilliantly and the day was a great success! The feedback forms are excellent! Well done team!” Here is a comment from a colleague thanking me for a session for fellow BLCs that I ran on using Twitter in Blended Learning, in March 2011 (screen shots from open resources I developed for this follow): “Dear John, A big thank you for this and for the workshop yesterday. I really enjoyed it and I'm sure the others did too. You certainly showed how learning - and Twitter - can be fun. The workshop is definitely a reusable learning object (!) - let's roll it out to other HALE staff! We BLCs need to get confident with it first though, as you said before John. Let's see how we go over the next week or two. Best wishes [name of fellow BLC]”

43. Open Teaching Wiley (no date, slide 17) cites a number of examples of how to adopt open everyday (teaching and learning) practices: “Open your student work through blogs. Use only open materials for your classes. Write your own teaching materials. Put your teaching materials in a wiki and encourage student contribution / alteration. Put you syllabus in a wiki and encourage student contribution / alteration. Completely open participation in your class”. Wiley, D. (n.d.). E-learning and openness. Retrieved from http://mediastudio.unu.edu/download/wiley.ppt, 15 June 2011. Semi-open Teaching of undergrad module 2010/2011 ‘New Technologies and Learning module’ I taught last semester Introduced students to use of open social software like Twitter and Wikis and enabled range group discussions in VLE EG (screen shot that follows this slide) Students put class activity outputs in wiki on module http://hijabfashion.wetpaint.com/

45. Open Teaching Regarding my lead and teaching on ‘New Technologies and Learning’ module evaluation I am particularly pleased with response in module feedback to q4&5 (that rate the module convenor/lab assistants – the average is a 75% satisfaction rating). There was also some positive student feedback to the open questions and I particularly liked the comment “I have felt the lectures have been brilliant and the aids and videos have made for really enjoyable discussion”.

50. Open Questions To conclude, rather than proffer solutions I instead offer a few questions for further consideration ...
51. Open teaching What cultural practices will give teachers equity of access to cultural resources? In the context of OULDI, Conole (2011) defines learning design as: “We see ‘learning design’ as an all encompassing term to cover the process, representation, sharing and evaluation of designs from lower level activities right up to whole curriculum level designs.” Is open teaching the same as learning design? Conole (2011) Learning Design questions: Can we develop a range of tools and support mechanisms to help teachers design learning activities more effectively? Can we agree a shared language/vocabulary for learning design, which is consistent and rigorous, but not too time consuming to use? How can we provide support and guidance on the creation of learning interventions? What is the right balance of providing detailed, real, case studies, which specify the detail of the design, compared with more abstract design representations that simply highlight the main features of the design? How can we develop a sustainable, community of reflective practitioners who share and discuss their learning and teaching ideas and designs? Conole (2011). Chapter two – Design languages. http://cloudworks.ac.uk/cloud/view/5406, accessed 13 June, 2011.
52. Open pedagogy and scholarship Connectivist models introduced to networked learning can be foundational for lifelong learning in complex contexts? Can Connectivist models be used for linking formal and ‘informal’ learning? (Anderson, 2011) Do learners still need to be scaffolded in a Connectivist world? Does Garnett and Ecclesfield’s (2011) extension of Boyer’s ‘types’ contribute to notions of the open scholar?
53. Open (cultural) practice How can we mediate access for all to cultural resources given the barriers of cultural scripts and practices? Replication or transformation of practice? Should we go for evolution or revolution in terms addressing an institution’s cultural scripts? “The cost of sharing has disappeared … but we act as if it hasn’t.” (Weller, 2009) Why is this? Are we more than our content? How can we motivate distance education content developers & Faculty to use OERs? (Anderson, 2011) Students as agents of change in a stakeholder approach seems to be taking off? (Cook, et al., 2007) . How can we build on this? Do the problems surrounding community practice dimensions of Learning Object Repositories persist for OER practice? “The development of international standards … are easing the development of learning design tools … Despite this, social and cultural barriers are providing more challenging than technical issues. It is difficult to change current ways of working towards more sustainable practices (for example teachers tend to reuse resources within small, localised, tightly bound groups rather than sharing resources with a wider collective).” Littlejohn and Cook, (2010). ALT’ s What Research Has to Say for Practice – Learning Objects and Learning Object Repositories http://bit.ly/iiNzUh
54. Open research Implications of open access movement and open data movement? (Conole, 2010) But what is open research? Is it more than making methods, data and results transparent? Is it taking “gold” road to OA? Is it the same as participative research? If yes, what about users participating in the analysis of research data?
55. Open design “What would a vision of a truly open approach to design mean; beyond open educational resources towards a more explicit representation and sharing of the whole design process?” (Conole, 2010) What is the relationship between open design and other forms like Design Based Research (DBR)? Just make DBR transparent? How do we factor in institutional & organisational issues into open design? Design for who and by who? Is it just about teachers? Where is the locus of control? Who decides what learning is? Do we include participatory design? If so, is there scope in an intervention for users to adapt the content elements of a Mobile Augmented Reality system? Inclusive research with people with learning disabilities. What do we mean by individualized risk? Risk to who? RE MATURE’s work-based learning (WBL) DBR model ‘Learn and problematize about experience and constraints in context’. Is there is a tension between scientific innovation and user needs? Sharing theory with all stakeholder is complex?
56. Open design What about open design for WBL contexts? How do we support transition between contexts as work-based, informal and formal learning contexts merge? During their continuing learning activities, what will the learning trail left behind by learners tell us as they move from one learning context to the next? How can we improve our understanding of how elements of context can be maintained over time, so as to scaffold a perceived continuity of learning? How do we to make explicit to society at large what new abilities are needed to design for the world we live in? How do we place the means for learning these skills at the heart of society? Is the alternative the gradual curtailment of democratic processes as people lose their power to contribute to debates about their future?

‘Now’s the time’ to be an open learner. There is a cornucopia of resources out there for learning ... Meghan YouTube examples.‘But’. Need to balance optimism. Learners and teachers need equity of access to essential conceptual, cultural and social resources. Note: As a starting point I take an anthropological view of culture, namely as encompassing all human phenomena that are not purely results of human genetics. In this sense mobile phones can be viewed as cultural resources for meaning making.
However, technology is embedded in cultural practices, which are integrated in, and determined by the school’s cultural scripts. So we get schools banning some technologies like mobile phones. At the same time, technology emerges from specific socio-cultural structures like the individualised, mobilized mass communication. For example YouTube. Anderson (2011) reports a lack of motivation for distance education content developers to use OERs.Many DE developers and Faculty define themselves by the production of quality content – not by the consumption and customization of content created by others.

Technology is also socio-culturally constructed, with the agency of learners and teachers playing a key role.user-generated context (Cook et al., 2011) is conceived in a way that users of mobile digital devices are being ‘afforded’ synergies of knowledge distributed across: people, communities, locations, time (life-course), social contexts and sites of practice (like socio-cultural milieus) and structures. Of particular significance is the way in which mobile digital devices are mediating access to external representations of knowledge in a manner that provides access to cultural resources.
Paul Bacich anecdote related to HE Academy benchmarking and how close we were to “getting it right” with model in BJET!Cut and paste from Cook et al. 2007for the purposes of this paper, Figure 2 is used as a benchmarking tool to explain the process redesign and ‘informal change’ that has taken, and is taking place at London Metropolitan University. The trajectory of the CETL is indicated by the arrow. Our resulting model places a premium on informal change, feasibility and sequence. By informal change we refer to practitioner initiated change rather than top-down senior management group strategy documents. Furthermore, we are taking the tipping point to be an informal yet powerful target of where we (the authors) believe the university should be travelling to. Consequently, the model is being used by our project as a way of mapping out what we are doing in terms of change management. Figure 2 is split into three phases. Phase 1 of the model (the boxes labelled internal coordination and localised use) has an important self inspection phase, where critical process and interactions within the organisation are identified. This first phase involves extensive effort being spent onexamining the localised use of technology and internal coordination of processes. An analysis at this stage identifies existing and target processes; systems interactions that are both complementary and competing are noted. Our analysis at Phase 1 noted that local users were being enabled, through small pockets of centrally provided resource, to develop e-learning materials in an environment free from centralised control. The formation of the CETL in 2005, together with other institutional activities, provided a springboard for the institutional e-learning development, leading the newly formed London Metropolitan University into phase two (the boxes labelled process redesign and network redesign with subsequent embedding). This is a contrast to the development of e-learning in many other post 1992 universities, many of whom rushed into developing e-learning around the institutional requirements to place materials within a VLE such as Blackboard. The second phase in the middle of Figure 2 involves looking at pockets of change as the process of redesign gets underway. In phase 2 there is a need to determine the degree of difficulty in shifting from existing to target practices. Specifically, at phase 2 the requirement has been found for the need for some type of networked organisation as a premium is placed on innovation and because of the impact of an institutional merger in 2004: “If environmental factors oppose one another they may indicate instabilities that might uncover new more flexible – possibly networked – organisations, with a premium on innovation” (Brynjolfsson et al, 1997). By encouraging a more flexible, organic growth in phase 2, the institution was able to move towards the medium term goals of ‘feasibility and sequence’ of e-learning innovation; this in turn is leading towards the inevitable solidification of processes and networks. The momentum towards the tipping point is being maintained with the added benefits that student led initiatives (e.g. a student network) were able to be capitalised upon and included by the time a draft e-learning strategy was developed for the institution towards the middle of phase 2 (April 2007). The second half of phase 2 may entail a dipping off of the degree of change effort involved as the organisation adjusts to the process redesign. When the right-hand edge of phase 2 hits the tipping point we are about to enter phase 3, which is where large-scale transformations, innovations and change that are self-sustaining take off.
