Learning design making sense of collaborative knowledge building in the messy...LeRoy Hill
This presentation outlines my exploration into a framework to mediate collaborative knowledge-building in the social networking setting. Presented at the University of Nottingham, School of Education Annual conference.
Activity-Oriented Design Methods (AODM): A way of making sense of the CENLeRoy Hill
Online social networking is an emerging area of interest to educational professionals and researchers alike. Unfortunately, more attention is paid to the process of knowledge-building resulting in less being paid to the processes of design which might enable sustainable collaborative knowledge-building (CKB) to flourish. The relative lack of attention to design, points to the need for methods to guide the development of CKB environments. This paper therefore draws on a larger study within an online social networking setting and focuses on the use of Activity Oriented Design Methods (Mwanza 2002) as a way to facilitate designers to capture a far-reaching perspective of the research and design context. In this presentation, I show how the AODM is used as a guide to operationalise various methods of data collection to gain a deeper insight into the context for further research. I argue that the development of a design framework to support sustainable CKB in online social networking environments is a complex process that demands a comprehensive activity-oriented approach to get a full picture the activity system in order to be responsive to learner needs. This approach suggests that there are implications for the way design for CKB is contextualised in such settings

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.

14. Twitter anatomy
Twitter users have developed short-form syntax to make the most of 140 characters. Here are the
fundamentals.
• Mention
Once you've signed up and chosen a Twitter username, you and others can mention an
account in your Tweets by preceding it with the @ symbol, eg: "Glad your shipment arrived
@janesmith!"
• Retweet
When you see a Tweet by another user that you want to share, click Retweet below it to
forward it to your followers instantly.
• Message
If you want to privately Tweet to a particular user who's already following you, start your
Tweet with DM or D to direct-message them, eg: "DM @joesmith234 what is your order
number?"
• Hashtag
Users often prepend # to words in their Tweets to categorize them for others eg: "Check out
our new products for the Fallhttp://t.co/link2 #fallsale" Think of hashtags as the theme of your
Tweet. Users can then click on a hashtag to see other similarly-themed tweets and find yours
in search.

shorteners:

Framework for CPD using Twitter
Connectivism - learning conceptualized through the lens of today’s world - George Siemens
Learning is a process of connecting specialized notes or information sources
Capacity to know more is more critical than what is currently known
Nurturing and maintaining connections is needed to facilitated continual learning.
Ability to see connections between fields, ideas and concepts is a core skill.
Learning is the creation and removal of connections between the entities, or the adjustment of the strengths of those connections. A learning theory is, literally, a theory describing how these connections are created or adjusted.
