Editor's Notes
- I’m going to be talking to you about the SocialLearn project, about where it came from, what we’re doing now, and our plans for the future.
- As many of you will know, SocialLearn arose out of discussions and workshops around the future of education IET played a leading role in these – and an important role was played by Martin Weller in drawing this together. SocialLearn emerged from thinking about how universities are shifting away from this model…
- … towards this model And making use of the OU’s expertise, and the available technology in order to do it.
- We were also interested in linking up different silos, so that we don’t all have to keep reinventing the wheel. If there’s a good tool or site at the OU, or on the wider web, we want to be able to make use of it
- Not only do we want to link up the different data silos, we want to get around the time silos which are a feature of study with the OU. Conventionally, institutions are either engaged with the paying student, or not.
- Non-formal and informal learning is a huge part of authentic, life-wide learning. In combination with Open Educational Resources, SocialLearn can sustain OU engagement with learners between periods of formal study, and help them build and sustain learning relationships with peers before, between, and after formal studies
- So, with these ideas in mind, SocialLearn has been developed. In 2009 it was developed as an outward-facing commercial platform, and everything went fairly quiet because that was commercially sensitive Then there was a decision to make it much more OU-focused and to carry out small-scale pilots, and everything stayed fairly quiet because it wasn’t being released outside the OU. However on 1 July there will be a keynote about it at EdMedia (some of these slides come from that presentation) and so the model is becoming more open. In the meantime, however, we are still locked down and only accessible to OU staff, including ALs, and research students.
- So here’s the current situation.
- Here are some of the key areas of interest identified by our pilot users
