Birds of a Feather? - Do Participants’ Hierarchical Positions activate Homoph...Martin Rehm
Communities of Learning (CoL) are promoted to foster interpersonal knowledge transfer among participants of organizational training initiatives. Moreover, previous studies have posited that homophily can significantly affect the communication processes among participants that exhibit differing background characteristics. However, past research has largely neglected a particular background characteristic, namely hierarchical positions, which have been suggested to constitute a major obstacle for collaborative learning processes. By providing empirical evidence from 25 CoL of a global organization, where participants from different parts of an organization’s hierarchical ladder collaboratively enhanced their knowledge and skills, the current study addresses this shortcoming and investigates whether and to what extent the applicable CoL have been subject to homophily. Based on an underlying social network analysis, our results show no signs of homophily. Instead, we rather find an “externalness”, whereby participants particularly turned to colleagues from outside their own hierarchical position. By incorporating these findings into the design and implementation, organizers of future CoL can device learning activities and facilitation strategies that can further enhance participants’ learning experience and outcomes.

Communities of Learning (CoL) are suggested to facilitate the co-construction of knowledge among participants of online trainings. Yet, previous studies often detached participants from the social context in which learning took place. The manuscript addresses this shortcoming by providing empirical evidence from 30 CoL of a global organization, where 337 staff members from different hierarchical positions collaboratively enhanced their knowledge via asynchronous discussion forums. The results from four dedicated studies clearly indicate that the higher participants’ hierarchical position, the higher their amount of social and cognitive messages, and the more central their network position within CoL. However, we also identified a group of “Stars” that outperformed their colleagues and who were at the centre of CoL networks, irrespective of their hierarchical positions. Based on these findings, HRD practitioners can better design and facilitate future collaborative learning activities that build upon the strength and weaknesses of all participants.

Presentation on 17 July 2015 at the workshop for new academic staff, organised by the University of Johannesburg's Professional Academic Staff Development Unit.
E-learning is part of the biggest change in training since the invention of the chalkboard or perhaps the alphabet.
The development of computers and electronic communications has removed barriers of space and time. We can obtain and deliver knowledge anytime anywhere.
Online classes are consistently imparting and improving knowledge of learners separated by geographical distances.
learning in the digital age looks at the way our students our controlled and constrained by orthodox protocols and methodologies. The presentation challenges conventional beliefs yet grounds the challenge in a 'can do' way. We have to work from within a system in order to be able to change it.
Open Educational Resources and Learning Spaces: Abstract
Josie Taylor
The Open University
Abstract
Education, and in particular higher education, has seen rapid change as learning institutions have had to adapt to the opportunities provided by the Internet to move more of their teaching online and to become more flexible in how they operate. However, whilst many institutions across the world have made content available in OER, we believe that higher education needs to prepare itself to exist in a more open future by embracing openness and the implications for change entailed.
The Open University started its open content initiative, OpenLearn, in 2006, and has attracted more than 11 million unique visitors. Studies carried out across OpenLearn users included analysis of user behaviour, targeting those who used the site more heavily, supported by follow-up interviews and monitoring of activities taking place with the open content. The results from one of these studies (n = 2,011) highlighted two distinct clusters of learners: "volunteer" students and "social" learners. The volunteer students sought the content they wanted to learn from, and they expected to work through it. These learners were most interested in more content, tools for self-assessment, and ways to reflect on their individual learning. The social learners were less motivated to work through the content. Rather, they seem to see learning as a way to meet people with shared interests. This cluster of learners ranked communication tools more highly and were more interested in advanced features on the website.
In this talk, I will relate these findings to other research in digital literacies, as well as to studies which try to understand learner behaviour, outlining how we can develop our practice to support these two very distinct kinds of users.
Doing things differently or doing different things?Derek Moore
Almost 2 years of emergency remote teaching (ERT) have passed by and there’s the likelihood that we are all going to “return to normal”. Can we collectively engage in dialogue about the learning from the pandemic? In this session, I propose that we amplify, hospice and create (adapted from J Reich,) from what we’ve experienced. Lets find a way to stabilize an acceptance of circumstances that are beyond our control and identify practices (or different things) hat can aid and improve current digital education capacities. Presentation intended for #Heltasa21
Mliteracy - presentation for OE Global 2019Derek Moore
Getting books into the hands of children is vital if kids are to learn to read. But there are many significant challenges facing those who wish to build a nation of story-readers and story-tellers In South Africa. My presentation is about two ideas, social publishing and mliteracy. The presentation describes the challenges and opportunities associated with reading. It describes how we have been working in public libraries and among librarians in Gauteng and broadening uptake and ownership of innovative forms of reading among marginalized communities where reading needs are most acute. The presentation concludes with a description of a model to describe this approach and how it aligns with open.
mLibrarian badges are the third part of a three pronged initiative developed by Derek Moore and the Goethe-Institut for public librarians. The intention of the whole project is to improve public librarians capacity to access and read "open" reading materials, available in digital formats. The set of mlibrarian badges (osing the Open Badge format) were focused around implementation of a mliteracy campaign in a community library. These badges offer micro application opportunities for librarians and act as a digital form of acknowledgement to those who can put into practice what they learned.

Webinars offers academics and students a new way possibility for tutorials. In this presentation, I introduce the concept of a webinar, the rationale for using this technology. I suggests how a webinar they might be used in a higher ed context and then highlights 10 common "myths" about the different aspects of their use.
Subject matter experts usually have loads of course available to them. But before cthis content can be uploaded onto the LMS, a few issues three "course content consideration" issues require attention. This presentation introduces the viewer to copyright, file types and style.
When the term "Blended Learning" is used, the assumption is that there is a shared understanding. But like life in the 21st century, the term "Blended Learning" is subject to constant change. This presentation explores how an understanding of the concept depends on our focus. Our understanding of the term "Blended Learning " is conditioned by what is valued in a particular context and the rate of adoption of technology enabled learning.
Disruption is a common theme among many tech evangelists. "Futurists” are predicting that robots and artificial intelligence will result in job losses for employees within professions. I'm not an evangelist or a futurist, but I think we can take it as a given that "Robots" will reshape all professions, including those in the legal field.
In this presentation I've tried to explore how our conceptions of "lawyering" might be changed by the introduction of "robots" into the legal profession. Technology has a habit of both substituting and complementing. Automation will raise output, but it also leads to higher demand for workers who can uniquely supply tasks that machines cannot supply.
Take a look at the range of information technologies of law that are assisting with raising output. The presentation will also offer glimpses of what legal professions can uniquely supply and robots cannot.
RAT & Blended Learning - Blended Learning is NOT about the combination of media or technologies. The mixture of digital and analogue media won't necessarily improve learning. Neither will the combination of Wi-Fi, phones and apps substantially shift our teaching.
We need to shift our gaze from "shiny gadgets" and focus on how we can thoughtfully integrate our learning and teaching activities, whether they be in the classroom or online or both.
The RAT continuum is a useful way to start thinking about the blend. RAT is a framework to describe how ed tech is used. We either replace, amplify or transform our teaching and learning with tech. Often our tech use is focused our replacement. E-books instead of a textbook. An online quiz instead of a test. A video instead of a lecture. The delivery vehicle is different, but the form remains the same. Replacement tech might have novelty value, but it won’t change practices in a typical normal room.
To blend in a way that takes advantage of the affordances of tech, then we should be re-thinking how we want to use technology in the blended learning classroom. RAT is a good place to begin re-conceptualizing our un-examined assumptions about technology can be useful.
An Introduction to mLiteracy: reading in new ways in new timesDerek Moore
MLiteracy (or Mobile Literacy) is an ecosystem of projects and initiatives by a variety of stakeholders that promote, support & enable access to literature. This presentation is to introduce the idea to librarians
Enhancing and extending student learning with lecture captureDerek Moore
Lecture capture technology offers students a new way to access organized course content. In this talk, I introduce staff to the concept of lecture capture, the rationale for using this technology and a lecture capture platform (Panopto) which has been designed particularly for a higher education context and is easy to use for both academics and students.
If information stewards and custodians are to collect, create, appraise, preserve, store, use and access sophisticated, flexible, responsive and future- friendly content at scale, then they will have to think strategically about who's going to use the content, how and where they're going to consume it. COPE – Create Once, Publish Everywhere - is an acronym that describes how content should be conceived once and then disseminated through multiple conduits. The goal of COPE is to capture all content (text, media), context and metadata in a single manner, and then ensure that this content can be accessed and used across a range of publishing platforms.
As the rate of change speeds up, it is likely that some technology or business somewhere/somehow has or will disrupt you and what you are doing. While it may be overdramatic to term these disruptions a “Black Swan”, it is reasonable to assume that as the world grows in complexity, our working lives will be disrupted (if it hasn’t already happened) by some technological “innovation”. In education, many have argued that emergent technologies are going to disrupt the way that schools and universities go about their business. This presentation will introduce you to some of the techniques used by these futurists, survey some of the recent presentations and articles about education and technology and attempt to sketch out some of the scenarios for education that may lie on the near horizon.
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

Editor's Notes
The Internet is not by itself undermining privacy or family life, nor is television responsible for the supposed drop in hours spent by children reading. We must give up on the beguiling idea that technological changes either cause or resolve social problems. Redesigning or regulating particular media cannot on its own revitalize education or youth participation or resolve the difficulties of modern family life. Instead, it is important to recognize that the media are themselves a product of society, and thus are shaped by fundamental processes of social change. The same technologies can be taken up for progressive ormore traditional educational goals. – Connected LearningEnable - to supply with the means, knowledge, or opportunity;Enhance - to raise to a higher degree; intensify; magnify:
A lip dub is a type of video that combines lip synching and audio dubbing to make a music video. It is made by filming individuals or a group of people lip synching while listening to a song or any recorded audio then dubbing over it in post editing with the original audio of the song. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lip_dubPurchase - Buy the songRent - Borrow the songPerform – Use resources record you singing the songFusion - Work with others to create a recording of the songAdapt – Take the song and deliberately modify it Network - Take different versions of the song and make another song

“The dominant focus in education technology is lowering the cost of content delivery, improving instruction and optimising assessment for existing metrics, standards and accountabilities.” “Educational technologies … are situated within this ecology of institutional constraints and possibilities … new technologies will only serve to reinforce existing institutional goals and forms of social inequality.”
