The document cites concepts like the "wisdom of crowds" and how collective intelligence can emerge from groups.
This document discusses communities of practice and how to build and support communities in organizations. Some key points include:
- Communities of practice are groups of people who share a common interest or profession and work together informally to share knowledge.
- Successful communities require nurturing from leaders rather than control, as they are organic groups that form around shared interests.
- The purpose of communities is to enable sharing, learning, problem solving and innovation through collaboration.
- Technology may not always be necessary - the focus should be on facilitating interactions between people.
- Providing opportunities for member interaction like events, discussions, and celebrating outcomes can help build and engage a community.
A community is a group of people linked by social ties who share common perspectives and engage in joint action. A tech community brings together like-minded individuals to learn, build, connect, and help each other progress. Community members are responsible for running the community's affairs by upholding its dignity, participating in activities, and convincing others to join. As a member, one can provide learning guidelines, access opportunities, create mentorship relationships, solve local problems, and engage others through workshops. Members benefit by meeting people outside their network, gaining advice from experts, collaborating, learning new technologies, and building camaraderie.
The document provides an overview of a 21st century global leadership course being taught in spring 2010 by Ms. Allen and Ms. Moorman.

Engaging Audiences Through Social Media and Interactive ArtLeyla Nasib
The document discusses how social media and interactive art can be used to engage audiences. It notes that social media allows for deeper engagement through involvement in the design process, a sense of community, and stronger relationships between users and companies. Interactive art is described as a strong engagement trigger that can spark spontaneous interactions and engage people on a human level, while also creating a sense of local community and potentially influencing long-term behaviors. The document suggests that combining social media and interactive art can provide the benefits of both by facilitating spontaneous interactions at scale and fostering lasting community relationships.
The document outlines the goals and performance outcomes for a 21st Century Global Leadership course being taught in Spring 2010 by Ms. Allen and Ms. Moorman. The course aims to have students investigate the world by discovering global knowledge, recognize different perspectives through cross-cultural understanding, communicate ideas by connecting and collaborating across boundaries, and take action by participating and contributing globally.
The document discusses several learning theories and their application to primary education. It mentions John Dewey's views on experience and reflection in education. It also discusses Piaget's stages of cognitive development and Vygotsky's social learning theory which emphasizes social interaction and the zone of proximal development. The document also references Seymour Papert's constructionism theory and connects learning with constructing tangible objects. It provides links to online resources about various learning theories and encourages exploring the Scratch online community to provide and receive feedback on projects.

Presentation CC BY Regents of the University of Michigan.
Training session notes from my presentation to the MELO project group. This group is part of the local chapter of MERLOT contributors at the University of Michigan. We are creating new collections of Learning Objects and incorporating them into several gateway courses at the University.
Open Educational Resources (OER) are teaching, learning, and research materials that reside in the public domain or have been released under an open license that allows free use, reuse, and repurposing. OER include full courses, course materials, modules, textbooks, videos, software, and any other tools or materials used to support knowledge access. While open licensing of learning objects can help their reuse and adaptation, creators of learning objects often do not use openly licensed content or license their own work with open licenses. This workshop introduces creators of learning objects to opportunities of applying open licenses to allow broader use and adaptation of their work.
This document discusses open educational resources (OER) and copyright. It defines OER as teaching, learning, and research materials that are in the public domain or available under an open license allowing free use. The document outlines the differences between open access, OER, and open courseware. It discusses copyright basics and the spectrum of Creative Commons licenses from most to least restrictive. The document provides guidance on assessing learning materials for copyrighted content and choosing actions for embedded objects. It encourages applying OER in the classroom and contacting the Open Education Coordinator for more information.
The document discusses I-Open's interview and conversation research. It conducts interviews with business, government, and civic leaders to share their ideas and innovations online. These interviews help inform economic development by building trust, aligning investment, and providing different perspectives. Interview content is organized by topic and published online under Creative Commons for public use and commentary. The goal is to identify emerging innovations and guide investment in changing regional economies.
Celebrating innovative scholarship through social media #ESLTIS17Sue Beckingham
The document discusses how social media can be used to promote open and digital scholarship. It argues that social media allows scholars to more widely disseminate and discuss their work, reaching larger audiences. This can encourage innovation and changes in teaching practices across disciplines. The document provides examples of how academics are using blogs, Twitter, and other social media to openly share their scholarly work and engage in discussion.
A workshop from Museums and the Web 2009.
This half-day workshop will explore the use of social media (blogs, wikis, digital stories etc.) to support museum communication. The workshop will address:
* The range of web-based social media available to museums.
* The issues that will arise in planning for such applications.
* How to anticipate/address such issues.
see http://www.archimuse.com/mw2009/abstracts/prg_335002068.html for full details.
This document discusses the concept of learning communities in a digital age. It defines communities and networks, and describes how connected learning occurs through connections between learners. Various types of learning communities are described, including professional learning communities, communities of practice, and personal learning networks. The roles of community members and motivations for participation are discussed. Characteristics of healthy communities like norms, groups, conversations and collaboration are also covered.
The document proposes developing an online professional development incubator for the North Kansas City School District. It would pursue a multifaceted approach to adult learning through immersing educators in digital culture, sharing instructional practices, making professional learning teams more transparent, extending learning from consultants, collaborating on curriculum, and providing opportunities for coaching. The incubator would be hosted on a Ning platform to foster collaboration and help educators work beyond physical constraints of time and place.
Facilitating Communities of Practice in the Network EraNancy Wright White
This is the set of slides used for the morning workshop on facilitating communities, along with two other sets of slides that might be useful later to participants, but which we did not conver/talk about. So be forewarned!
This document discusses building vibrant and purposeful virtual learning communities. It provides examples of both successful and unsuccessful virtual communities and analyzes the factors that led to each. The key factors that contributed to success included having a clear purpose, strong leadership, engaging activities, and effective tools to facilitate collaboration and connection among members. Factors that caused communities to falter included a lack of these elements as well as insufficient governance structures and ownership. The document advocates for combining professional learning communities, communities of practice, and personal learning networks to provide different contexts for knowledge sharing and development.
Plenary session presented at the "Creating Communities of Learning" Australasian Professional Legal Education Conference, 14-15 November 2014 at AUT, Auckland
A Community of Practice (CoP) is a group of people who share a common interest and work together to improve their knowledge and skills through ongoing interaction and information sharing. Key elements of a CoP include a shared domain of interest, a community of people who interact and learn from each other, and a focus on sharing practices to improve work. CoPs can exist within or between organizations and can operate at local or national levels. They evolve over time through real work, problem solving, learning, and innovation.
The document discusses learning communities in the digital age. It defines three types of learning communities: 1) professional learning communities which are local, face-to-face groups for job-embedded learning; 2) personal learning networks which are individually chosen online connections; and 3) communities of practice which are committed, collective groups that provide deeper connections than personal networks or professional communities. The document emphasizes that a revolution in technology has transformed how people can connect, interact and collaborate as connected learners online and in safe digital spaces.
Research in current scenario -sgd-adamf-20-apr-2018Sanjeev Deshmukh
Current research is driven by huge developments due to internet and digital disruptions. Democratization of education has opened up new vistas for doing research. It is essential to remain visible.
This document discusses communities of practice and how they evolve through different lifecycles. It begins by providing background on communities of practice and how they were first observed among groups of technicians sharing expertise. The document then discusses the emerging paradigm of communities having lifecycles that include planning, initiating, launching, driving toward self-sufficiency. Barriers to their evolution like lost momentum are also examined, along with tips for reversing trends like providing resources and recognizing contributions. The document presents two case studies, one of a community in an Italian bank and another of a virtual online community, to illustrate successful communities. Mantras for structuring and sustaining communities through variety and breaking monotony are also shared.
The document discusses trends in education moving from analog to digital, closed to open, and isolated to connected. It defines communities as collections of individuals bound by shared ideas and ideals. Networks are created through sharing ideas and connecting with others with shared passions. The document advocates for communities of practice, professional learning communities, and personal learning networks as models of connected learning and professional development in the digital age.

Developing a PLN and open co-learning opportunities #UoRsocialmediaSue Beckingham
Developing your academic online presence with social media
Workshop at the University of Reading led by Sue Beckingham SFHEA, Senior Lecturer in Information Systems and LEAD Associate at Sheffield Hallam University, this workshop will provide an opportunity to learn about new approaches and practical examples of using social media in higher education; and as co-learners share examples of effective practice and consider how these might be applied in your own contexts. The session will also provide participants some time and space to network and potentially make new connections.
The workshop aims to provide participants with an opportunity to:
Gain a better understanding of how social media can be used in a scholarly context
Appreciate the value of developing a rich professional online presence
Learn about opportunities for social and open informal learning through social media
Appreciate five elements of ‘working out loud’ (Stepper 2015) and how these can be of value to both yourself and others
Using the 5C Framework (Nerantzi and Beckingham 2014, 2015) as a lens we will consider how social media can be used to connect, communicate, curate, collaborate and create. In doing so consider the value of:
Developing a digital professional persona to share scholarly achievements
Cultivating your own personal learning network and co-learning communities
Sharing learning journeys through working out loud

Emerge is a 28-month, JISC-funded project involving over 28 institutions and 210 participants. The project aims to support the formation of an effective and sustainable community of practice around the Users and Innovation Development Model using Web 2.0 technologies. Emerge provides a platform for sharing ideas and resources to improve educational technology development projects through community development processes and social networking. The future of Emerge envisions continuing the community as a space for sharing practices and ideas related to learning technologies and serving as a front-end for people working in educational technology development.
Communities for learning and professional developmentGeorge Roberts
This document outlines a proposal to study the establishment, development, and support needs of learning communities in diverse professional environments. It has two main aims: 1) to understand how learning communities form and are supported, and 2) to use these findings to help develop learning communities. The research questions focus on how professionals use communication tools and their communities to further their careers. A 4-stage process is proposed that starts with identifying key stakeholders and discovering community aims, resources, members, and practices. Potential benefits include more effective collaboration, capacity building, and sharing ideas across organizations. The goal is to model inter-organizational partnerships between universities, businesses, non-profits, and governments to support community learning and professional development.
Online Learning Objects: Affecting Change through Cross-Disciplinary Practi...Emily Puckett Rodgers
The document summarizes the Michigan Education through Learning Objects (MELO) project which aims to improve education by integrating open learning objects into undergraduate courses across multiple disciplines at the University of Michigan. Over three years, graduate students were trained to evaluate, design, and integrate quality course-specific learning objects while disseminating materials openly online. Evaluation of the project found that learning objects positively impacted student achievement, especially for lower performing students, and that students and instructors generally found learning objects to be helpful resources. Analytics of learning object usage provided additional insights into how to best support student learning.

This document provides an overview of a training on using openly licensed educational resources. The training introduces open education and Creative Commons licenses, teaches how to find and incorporate open resources into projects, and provides guidance on assessing existing works and publishing them with open licenses. Participants will learn to recognize copyrighted material, understand open educational practices, and clear and publish open educational resources.
Open.Michigan is the University of Michigan's open education initiative that enables faculty, students and staff to share educational resources and research openly. It aims to build a culture of sharing on campus through partnerships, community building and increasing support for open educational resources (OER). Open.Michigan provides tools and processes to make it easy to create and use open content, and consults with the university community on open licensing and projects. The initiative has over 1,000 openly licensed materials from across 13 U-M schools and colleges that have received over 1 million YouTube views.
This document discusses the University of Michigan's culture of openly sharing and licensing scholarly works. It provides an overview of Creative Commons licenses, including what they are, how they work, and how to find content with CC licenses. It also gives examples of how other organizations, like Al Jazeera and the International Institute, use CC licenses.

Sharing with Others: An Introduction to Open Education ResourcesEmily Puckett Rodgers
Presentation materials for the 2011 Computers and Writing conference at the University of Michigan. Presentation on May 21, 2011. Session E06- Panel "Copyright Issues in Online Learning"
This presentation was given at the OpenCourseWare Consortium Global Meeting in May, 2011. It describes some of the results from an evaluation project initiated by Open.Michigan in September 2010. Full results can be found at tinyurl.com/omevaluation.
The document discusses open educational resources (OER) and Creative Commons licensing. It provides an overview of key concepts:
- OER are educational materials that can be freely used and adapted under open licenses. This includes materials for teaching like lectures, assignments, and syllabi.
- Creative Commons licenses allow copyright holders to choose how their work can be shared and adapted by others, ranging from commercial use to non-commercial use and requiring attribution or share-alike terms.
- The University of Michigan promotes OER through its Open.Michigan initiative, which helps faculty and students find, create, and share openly licensed educational content and resources.
This presentation is designed to provide faculty members at the University of Michigan and beyond with the tools and knowledge to recognize copyrighted content, search for and use openly licensed content, license their own content and publish this content as Open Educational Resources
This document provides instructions for creating an open educational resource using existing open content. It begins by obtaining lecture slides from the University of Michigan under a Creative Commons license. Images are added from sources like Wikimedia Commons and Wikipremed to supplement the text. The resource is licensed under an open license to allow others to reuse and remix it.
Open.Michigan partnered with the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at the University of Michigan and the Learning Resource Center's Multimedia team to host two brainstorming sessions in January 2011, bringing together U-M community members from across campus. Results and activities can be found at: https://open.umich.edu/wiki/'Textbook'_of_the_Future
Presentation to Ignite 4 in Ann Arbor, MI on October 12, 2010. This presentation features information about creative commons licenses and how these licenses can be used to facilitate creativity and knowledge sharing, especially in an educational context
This document discusses sharing and licensing creative works openly. It notes that as creators of presentations, papers, research, photos, blogs, videos and other works, individuals hold copyright over their creative works by default. It encourages sharing works using open licenses like Creative Commons, which allow others to legally use and build upon the works while still giving credit. The document provides steps for finding openly licensed content, licensing one's own works openly, and sharing works online for others to use and adapt. It directs readers to librarians and copyright offices for help with open licensing and copyright questions.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

7. Strategic Vision
Open.Michigan enables University of Michigan faculty,
students, staff and others to share their educational
resources and research with the world.
Open.Michigan’s efforts contribute to two primary goals:
1. to sustain a thriving culture of sharing knowledge at U-M; and
2. to provide comprehensive public access to all of U-M’s scholarly
output.

8. Face-to-Face Community
"Participation has the most
impact when designers can scale
up collaborative opportunities to
all interested visitors. This means
offering every visitor a legitimate
way to contribute to the
institution, share things of
interest, connect with other
people and feel like an engaged
and respected participant."
- Henry Jenkins, Convergence
Culture
9. Community Interviews
Open.Michigan participants
want recognition for practicing
openness and
acknowledgement of the
skillsets they develop through
those practices.
They also want to know about
the supporters and experts of
open practices within their
professional or academic

networks.
10. Goals for Building Community
How do we acknowledge, support and
connect our largely face to face community
online and in social networks?
How do we remove Open.Michigan as the
gatekeeper or bottleneck around open
behavior?
11. What Motivates Academics
I want to share my knowledge and increase the visibility of my work.
I want to build my reputation as an expert in my field.
I want to be promoted within my field and be compensated for my

These words of motivation:
share, gain visibility, build
reputation, get promotion, make an
impact, create relationships,
contribute to society...

How we’ve been analyzing and researching our own community at U-M.How we’ve developed ways to support and foster a community of sharing at our university. I’ll be talking about our evaluations and research and how it applies to our communityPiet will be talking more about what we’re doing with all this research.
Last year we embarked on an evaluation of the impact of the Open.Michigan initiativeIncluded examining our publication process, who is working with us, and what their own motivations are in partnering with our initiative.Conducted a U-M wide series of surveys aimed to uncover the awareness and use of Open.MichiganOER more generally and motivations for sharing (not OER branded) across U-M. faculty, staff, students, and open survey (98 responses on open survey). 2,000 students, a few hundred faculty and staff.
Themes from survey commentsEstablish Open.Michigan in main channels of U-M communicationClarify copyright in OER and provide resourcesMake short-term improvements to OEREncourage cultural shifts in learning
dScribe evaluation, data from 2007-2010 82 participants in the process exit interviews and quantitative data Participants learned:Copyright knowledge and applicationRecognizing and searching for high quality open contentShift in perspective to using and creating open contentMotivations:Desire to do goodShareProvide access to learning resources
Many barriers to ‘doing good’ dscribe model is a good functional process but does not really foster a growing community. dScribe process is tedious and detail oriented no continuity between projects or continued involvement with Open.Michigan segregation of dScribes and other members of open community at U-M had to start process over from beginning to continue involvement in Open.Michigan
Part of this evaluation project was also develop a strategic vision for Open.Michigan Foster and grow a community of sharing at U-M Not focus on OER production Discovered: to grow community awareness and make it easier for folks to participate in openness at U-M
Fall 2010 also started experimenting with providing U-M with different ways of engaging with Open.Michigan and open projects. Using principles of in-person engagement (e.g. participatory museum, volunteering, community engagement). Went from hosting workshops for dScribes and occasional larger events to a variety of events and partnerships. Events based on leveraging current projects and embedded interest of open advocates. Started getting more feedback to inform our evaluation from these events, working to standardize this feedback this year.
Summer 2011, intern Anya Shyrokova conducted seven interviews with stakeholders. Goals: to uncover motivations for sharing and working with Open.Michigan, community interests and needs, behaviors around sharing.These were faculty, staff and students.
Now our challenge is to develop ways to recognize multiple avenues for participation, not just through dScribe or through content contributions. Acknowledge the broad range of community members that work with us, for example, staff are often strong advocates for our work. Must: identify behaviors, skills, tasks, and practices that students, faculty, staff, others engage in and then develop a set of mechanisms to recognize these activities.
