Navigating the Marvellous: Openness in Education - #altc 2014Catherine Cronin
Keynote presentation for #ALTC 2014. A fuller link to video & a summary of the keynote is here: http://catherinecronin.wordpress.com/2014/09/09/navigating-marvellous/
Abstract: Inspired by a Seamus Heaney poem (Lightenings viii), I’ll explore “navigating the marvellous”, the challenge of embracing open practices, of being open, in higher education, from the perspective of educators and students, citizens and policy makers. To be in higher education is to learn in two worlds: the open world of informal learning and networked connections, and the predominantly closed world of the institution. As higher education moves slowly, warily, and unevenly towards openness, students deal daily with the dissonance between these two worlds; navigating their own paths between them, and developing different skills, practices, and identities in the various learning spaces which they visit and inhabit. Educators also make daily choices about the extent to which they teach, share their work, and interact, with students and others, in bounded and open spaces. How might we construct and navigate Third Spaces of learning, not formal or informal but combined spaces where connections are made between students and educators (across all sectors), scholars, thinkers, and citizens — and where a range of identities and literacy practices are welcomed? And if, as Joi Ito has said, openness is a survival trait for the future, how do we facilitate this process of “opening education”? The task is one not just of changing practices but of culture change; we can learn much from other movements for justice, equality and social change.

Evaluating the Effectiveness of Academic Leadership Programmes - a Way Forward
Presented by Linda McKellar (formerly McLain) at the TEMC conference, Melbourne, October 2010
This powerpoint presentation talks about academic leadership with focus on how to improve instruction and how to empower teachers to be become excellent teachers.
Leadership wasn’t a theoretical concept to Confucius. It was rather a set of qualities and behaviors that you should cultivate in order to guide your thoughts and actions.
This presentation summarizes some of the most important characteristics that Confucius believed a leader (君子/jūnzǐ) should possess using quotes from Book 1 of the Analects.

Information literacy 2.0: experts or expats?Pru Mitchell
This presentation (rescued from the archives) was presented at the 2007 School Library Association of New Zealand Aotearoa Conference. It challenges library staff to reconsider their role in information literacy and how to ensure students and teachers are equipped to navigate the new information landscape. It asks for experts in contemporary information literacy issues, such as online identity, digital rights, social networking, personalisation and collaborative content, rather then expatriates continuing to do things as they did in ‘the old country’?

This short slide presentation was prepared for a short "lightning talk" at the Rails Girls Galway workshop, 21st June 2014. The presentation explores the reasons for the under-representation of women in STEM and some of the initiatives which have been tried to redress this gender imbalance. The presentation concludes by advocating a holistic approach including not just initiatives to support and advocate for girls and women, but initiatives to change IT and STEM culture -- in schools, universities, labs, community & maker spaces, and workplaces.
This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

9. There is a divide between formal and
informal learning.
Students navigate the dissonance
between these – with or without our
support.
10. …furtive thinking and behaviour around open-web
resources such as Wikipedia masks the level of use of
non-traditional resources and also masks the methods
learners use to increase their understanding of
subjects, creating what we have called The Learning
Black Market. The point at which learning takes place
is often not being discussed because either explicitly
or implicitly learners are being told by their educational
intuitions or perceive that the educational institutions
view that their information-seeking practices are not
legitimate.

16. We proposed the idea of a Third Space where
teacher and student scripts – the formal and
informal, the official and unofficial spaces of
the learning environment – intersect, creating
the potential for authentic interaction and a shift
in the social organization of learning and what
counts as knowledge.

We’re now looking at the ‘tag-team model’ of education: the
projects never end, as there is always a cohort to carry on, and
lead into the next group, and when they overlap that’s great –
that’s where the genuine collaboration happens. Traditionally,
we deliver modules/courses, neatly chunked into 12 weeks,
with units of assessment, leading to grades etc. and that’s the
way things are (generally) done. I’m not saying scrap all of
that, but I do think that modules are best served as
springboards to other things.
Increasingly, students are connecting across levels and
cohorts through Twitter and now we have ex-students getting
together with current students, undergrads coming to postgrad
classes (and vice versa) as they’ve connected online and have
a genuine interest in getting involved in other groups/further
curricula outside of their taught modules.”

Groups and learning communities
also can be nodes, e.g. via #hashtags.

Openness...
“
I learned a lot more about writing to the public. Before
this I would have been less likely to express my views to
a group of people online whereas now I would not have a
problem in doing so.
By posting publicly it opened up our world to other
academics or people who are just interested in the
topic... I don’t think anyone would have thought that the
author of one of the works we were researching
would get involved.

Social networks...
“
“
Before studying it, I used Facebook and Twitter mainly
just for keeping in contact with people, but since have
discovered they both have much more to offer.
They are places to discover new information and boost
your knowledge. That both education and socialising can
be rolled into one.
27. Learners need to practice and experiment with
different ways of enacting their identities, and adopt
subject positions through different social
technologies and media.
These opportunities can only be supported by
academic staff who are themselves engaged in
digital practices and questioning their own
relationship with knowledge.
