Editor's Notes
- #6 A hype cycle in can be broken down into five phases: "Technology Trigger" — The first phase of a hype cycle is the "technology trigger" or breakthrough, product launch or other event that generates significant press and interest. "Peak of Inflated Expectations" — In the next phase, a frenzy of publicity typically generates over-enthusiasm and unrealistic expectations. There may be some successful applications of a technology, but there are typically more failures. "Trough of Disillusionment" — Technologies enter the "trough of disillusionment" because they fail to meet expectations and quickly become unfashionable. Consequently, the press usually abandons the topic and the technology. "Slope of Enlightenment" — Although the press may have stopped covering the technology, some businesses continue through the "slope of enlightenment" and experiment to understand the benefits and practical application of the technology. "Plateau of Productivity" — A technology reaches the "plateau of productivity" as the benefits of it become widely demonstrated and accepted.
- #8 Mobile learning is about the mobility of the learner Mobile learning is about context – what can mobile learning do that desk-bound computing can’t? Mobile learning can provide solutions to personalising learning
- #11 Any number of technologies can support these – Turnitin / Peerwise / Moodle workshops / ePortfolios / Blogs / Wikis / different Social Media & Apps 7 - The impact of new and ubiquitous technologies enable new paradigms of learning & teaching to be developed which increase the possibilities for Personalised Learning and improve Learner Engagement. Although online instructional materials are widely available and make use of digital images, video animation and are great for understanding and replaying processes – they are still in my opinion rather passive so it’s more about learning activities that engage learners to process & assimilate information in new and more exciting ways. Discovery learning and enquiry based approaches / like structured web quests using eResources (e.g. simple activity sheets with hyperlinks to rich resources – means that the onus shifts from being given information to learners finding out information & sharing it with peers – a much more proactive activity) Collaborative learning / with collective outputs that exploit new technologies (e.g. planning an event or constructing a and information resource using software features that enable co-editing that results in tangible output of the collaborative process – WIKI, Google doc) Reflective activities using online tools which measures distance travelled and learning taking place rather than assessment of knowledge or skill and demonstrates to learners their own progress. (using Blogs or ePortfolio to record diary type journal entries) Using multimedia creatively and for assessment purposes. Internet access is all that’s required to access, record, store and stream video and audio to the desktop. (e.g. Digital images may provide a mechanism for students to demonstrate and record skills acquisition, using audio may be a vehicle which would allow learners to provide a much richer account of what they have learnt than a written account ) Peer Review – a formal term to describe the process of commenting or adding to others’ contributions (tools that enable comment , discussion or enable a star rating for example) eAssessment / both formative and summative which can provide quick and relevant feedback to learners and support personalisation of the learning experience. (designing e-assessments – especially those that address higher order skills a critical area for staff development) Learning technologies are collectively becoming known as “learning platforms” and there are more alternatives now to choose from and I guess that’s making strategic decisions even more difficult. If you add to that the move towards open source software & the range of free web based applications that are available now its not hard to see how difficult it is for an institution to accommodate individual preferences.
- #14 over the last 10 years or so the trend for open has become ever more prevalent Open Educational Practices (OEP) have been defined in various ways. Although, there is no one definition, they may be summarised as follows: Open Educational Practices can be described are teaching techniques that draw upon open technologies and high-quality Open Educational Resources (OER) in order to facilitate collaborative and flexible learning.[1][2] Other open movements are Open source, so coders and programmers are a huge community that are probably the best example of reusing and sharing their work to create and develop new services and technologies with other likeminded people Open data, the ability of organisations to make datasets available on many different topics to be mashed up with other sets of data to create new services , data.gov.uk is the governments answer to releasing public data in one searchable website to enable other to create data mashups and create new services and bring together information in different ways has some examples such as Open access publishing… the hot topic in the information sector right now the practice of providing unrestricted access to peer reviewed scholarly research green and gold open access being the two main offers Green open access[7][8] authors publish in any journal and self-archive a version of the article for gratis public use in their institutional repository,[9] in a central repository (such as PubMed Central), or on some other open access website.[10] Open access journals[11] provide immediate open access to all of their articles on the publisher's website.[10] Hybrid open access journals provide Gold open access only for those individual articles for which their authors (or their author's institution or funder) pay an open access publishing fee Open courseware – services such as khan academy, MIT courseware are good examples of this, MIT made their course materials and structure open to everyone, over 200 courses that have had, to date, 125 million visitors
- #17 Techno - literacies characteristic - rapid change with economic and social drivers Academic literacies typically slow change with cultural and institutional inhibitors Key skills required by learners learning in the cloud / future:
- #18 Digital Natives - because learners have grown up with computers that there ‘s an expectation that they would in turn have excellent digital literacy skills but research has not corroborated this theory: - As well as the educators perceptions perhaps being inaccurate, learners have little awareness that their information literacies are relatively weak - their skills are focused on a ‘need to know’ or ‘interest’ basis – maybe gaming / communicating but not articulating or reflecting necessarily. Learners’ experience many difficulties transposing practices from social context into formal learning And there is a clash of academic/internet knowledge cultures, particularly around plagiarism, assessment and originality in student writing
- #19 Some of the issues around digital literacies 1 - A lack of ownership at institutional level means that learning literacies and digital literacies are rarely the basis of an integrated strategy / staff working in the areas that traditionally support information literacy / academic scholarship and ICT still operate in relative isolation from one another 2 - Tutors still insufficiently competent and confident with digital technologies for learning despite evidence that learners are strongly influenced by their example 3 - Still quite poor support for learners to develop strategies to make effective use of technologies for learning - some institutional barriers still exist in terms of the use of personal technologies and social networks 4 - e.g. Be specific about what kinds of collaboration might be appropriate, establish peer review processes and setting group assignments. - in some subjects literacies are so embedded in subject teaching that its not recognised - e.g. visual / media literacies in art and it might be a first step to identify these within programmes
