It’s important to know what open educational resources are and how we might use them. But it’s just as important to pause and take stock — to think carefully about when and why we might have students working openly on the web. This presentation focuses on the ethical and pedagogical considerations in having students using open resources but also on learning in public, doing public work, and engaging with open learning communities.
A Scholarship of Generosity: a Hybrid Pedagogy MixtapeJesse Stommel
This is a collection of articles from Hybrid Pedagogy, a journal of digital and critical pedagogy, and online learning. The slides represent highlights from the journals first few years. The presentation this was made for focused on new approaches to scholarly writing, pedagogy, and publishing.
Rewriting the syllabus: Examining New Hybrid and Online PedagogiesJesse Stommel
We have to carefully build our classroom and educational space online before we start populating it, lest text, hierarchical menus, and pop-up windows be confused with interactivity and community.
Teachers stand to learn more from students about online learning than we could ever teach. Many students come to an online or hybrid class knowing very well how to learn online. It’s often our failure to know as well how to learn online that leads to many of the design mistakes in this generation of online courses.
Against Counteranthropomorphism: The Human Future of EducationJesse Stommel
In Obedience to Authority: An Experimental View, Stanley Milgram coined the term “counteranthropomorphism” — the tendency we have to remove the humanity of people we can’t see. These may be people on the other side of a wall, as in Milgram’s famous (or infamous) experiments, or people mediated by technology in a virtual classroom. Our turn to digital solutionism has frustrated our attempts at imagining a humane future for higher education. The less we understand our tools, the more we are beholden to them. The more we imagine our tools as transparent or invisible, the less able we are to take ownership of them. It is essential that we consider our tools carefully and critically—that we empty all our LEGOs onto the table and sift through them before we start building. Some tools are decidedly less innocuous than others. And some tools can never be hacked to good use. Remote proctoring tools can’t ensure that students will not cheat. Turnitin won’t make students better writers. The LMS can’t ensure that students will learn. All will, however, ensure that students feel more thoroughly policed. All will ensure that students (and teachers) are more compliant.
Ultimately, the future of education is humans not tools, and our efforts at hacking, forking, and remixing education should all be aimed at making and guarding space for students and teachers. If there is a better sort of mechanism that we need for the work of digital pedagogy, it is a machine, an algorithm, a platform tuned not for delivering and assessing content, but for helping all of us listen better to students. But we can’t get to a place of listening to students if they don’t show up to the conversation because we’ve already excluded their voice in advance by creating environments hostile to them and their work.

Technobiophilia: soothing our connected minds and easing our wired lives, Bi...Dr Sue Thomas

Technobiophilia: soothing our connected minds and easing our wired lives
In her 2013 book Technobiophilia: Nature and Cyberspace, Sue Thomas interrogates the prevalence online of nature-derived metaphors, and comes to a surprising conclusion. The root of this trend, she believes, lies in biophilia, defined by E.O. Wilson as ‘the innate attraction to life and lifelike processes’. Working from the strong thread of biophilia which runs through our online lives, she expands Wilson’s definition to the ‘innate attraction to life and lifelike processes *as they appear in technology*’, a phenomenon she calls ‘technobiophilia’. Attention to technobiophilia and its application to urban design offers a way to make our digital lives integrated, healthy, and mindful. In this talk she outlines the key elements of the concept and shows how, even in an intensely digital culture, the restorative qualities of biophilia can alleviate mental fatigue and enhance our capacity for directed attention, thus soothing our connected minds and easing our wired lives.

Graduate Training in 21st Century PedagogyJesse Stommel
If teaching, or related activity, is 40 – 90% of most full-time faculty jobs in higher ed., pedagogical study should constitute at least 40% of the work graduate students do toward a graduate degree.
Digital Pedagogy is about Breaking Stuff: Toward a Critical Digital Humanitie...Jesse Stommel
Pedagogy is not just a delivery device for the digital humanities. It should be at the core of what the digital humanities is as an academic discipline.
The precipitate shift to remote instruction during the COVID-19 pandemic came with no reliable best practices. Finding themselves suddenly distant, learners and teachers had few choices outside of improvisation. A profound lack of literacy in digital pedagogies created a crisis that affected not only the curriculum, but the community of the classroom. The natural synergy of being together in a room abruptly became an unnatural shift to turning mics and cameras on and off in the framework of a video conference. Many have supposed that out of this crisis might grow a new educational approach or institution—one that might support faculty and staff to advance educational equity, and move away from the all too common one-size-fits-all approach of online learning. To affect this transformation, we must consider a critical digital pedagogy, one that integrates digital literacies with equitable practices to create meaningful learning on both sides of the screen.
Learning is Not a Mechanism: Assessment, Student Agency, and Digital SpacesJesse Stommel
An objective and portable system for grading students was created so that systematized schooling could scale. And we’ve designed technological tools in the 20th and 21st Centuries that have allowed us to scale even further. Toward mass-processing and away from subjectivity, human relationships, and care.
A tailored intro to web 2.0. Not much new here. Basically a rehash of much of what I have already posted on Slideshare in other presentations, with a few new slides.
Critical instructional design moves toward realizing the possibility for learning that blends a new form of rigor with agency through a practice of inquiry, empathy, and emergence.

Le tecnologie proposte non sono “la soluzione”, ma solo un punto di partenza dettato dalla mia esperienza e di quella dei tantissimi colleghi che ho incontrato nel mio cammino.
E’ uno starter kit e come tale deve essere inteso è da espandere e modificare secondo le necessità.
Ponendosi nelle condizioni del docente che non ha nessuna competenza tecnologica, nelle tre ore di corso l'obiettivo principale sarà quello di incominciare a conoscere gli strumenti di base per rendere più efficace il proprio lavoro ed essere in grado da solo di costruire un proprio Personal Learning Network che sfrutterà a sua volta per apprendere anche le tecnologie.
Dall'organizzazione del proprio lavoro all'uso di strumenti software.

Alfabeto di arduino - lezione 4
Quarta lezione del corso: Alfabeto di Arduino.
Il seguente corso intende fornire le competenze di base per la realizzazione di lezioni di didattica delle robotica nella scuola secondaria di secondo grado.
Il corso ben si adatta a tutti i maker, studenti ed adulti, che per passione nell’elettronica necessitano di un’introduzione all’uso di Arduino.
Il docente che intendesse sviluppare un percorso didattico in cui si desidera realizzare dispositivi elettronici in grado di interfacciarsi col mondo fisico, potrà utilizzare queste lezioni come base per implementare moduli didattici aggiuntivi, pertanto questo corso è da intendersi come il mio personale tentativo di strutturare un percorso iniziale e modellabile a seconda del tipo di indirizzo della scuola. Chi vorrà potrà effettuare miglioramenti su quanto da me scritto.
Il percorso scelto è un estratto delle lezioni svolte durante i miei corsi di elettronica, sistemi ed impianti elettrici.
Nelle slide vi sono cenni teorici di elettrotecnica che non sostituiscono in alcun modo il libro di testo, ma vogliono essere un primo passo per condurre il lettore ad un approfondimento su testi specializzati.
Il corso è basato sulla piattaforma Open Source e Open Hardware Arduino e fa uso dell’Arduino starter kit.
Questa scelta non implica l’adozione di queste slide in corsi che non fanno uso di questo kit, ma è semplicemente una scelta organizzativa per lo svolgimento di questo corso di formazione.
Alle proposte incluse nel kit ho aggiunto ulteriori sperimentazioni. Tutti i componenti possono essere acquistati separatamente.
Ulteriori approfondimenti e risorse a questo corso possono essere trovate sul mio sito personale al seguente link:

Educational Priorities for the 21st CenturySam Gliksman
The current rate of technology advance, coupled with the rapid growth of the Internet, is revolutionizing society and the ways in which we communicate, connect and learn. In order to remain relevant, schools need to revise their educational objectives and prepare students with skills for a life of continual change and re-learning.
New-form Scholarship and the Public digital humanitiesJesse Stommel
New-form scholarship reconsiders citation and peer-review, while re-imagining the containers and audiences for academic work. Digital platforms, like Twitter, open-access journals, and blogs offer both limitations and possibilities. The public digital humanities is built around networked learning communities, not repositories for content, and its scholarly product is a conversation, one that engages a broad public while blurring the distinction between research, teaching, service, and outreach. In short, the public digital humanities starts with humans, not technologies or tools.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
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.

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.

“Large numbers of the students were making their way through college with minimal exposure to rigorous
coursework, only a modest investment of effort and little or no meaningful improvement in skills like writing
and reasoning. In a typical semester, for instance, 32 percent of the students did not take a single course with
more than 40 pages of reading per week, and 50 percent did not take any course requiring more than 20
pages of writing over the semester. The average student spent only about 12 to 13 hours per week studying
— about half the time a full-time college student in 1960 spent studying.”

35. Content & LMS
“Blackboard is itself an embodiment of the university culture that
Neary and Winn rightly find so troubling: students cycle through a
system that structurally, aesthetically and
rhetorically reinforces the notions that
education is consumption, the faculty
member is a content provider, the classroom
is hierarchical, and learning is closed”

management systems" and build
"understanding
augmentation networks"
instead, moving away from
educational assembly lines
toward intellectual ecosystems of
interest and curiosity.

41. Death of the
Book
Ceci tuera cela (via
Eco & McLuhan)
Hugo's Hunchback of Notre Dame, Frollo,
comparing a book with his old cathedral,
says: "Ceci tuera cela" (The book will kill
the cathedral, the alphabet will kill
images).
McLuhan, comparing a Manhattan
discotheque to the Gutenberg Galaxy, said
"Ceci tuera cela."

California Press. Eco’s afterword is available online at http://

42. Death of an Industry?
it makes increasingly less sense even to talk about a
publishing industry, because the core problem publishing
solves - the incredible difficulty, complexity, and expense
of making something available to the public - has
stopped being a problem.

Save books!
Save Society!

53. Departments
Departmentalization of knowledge and its effects
Mark C. Taylor, a religion scholar at Columbia University, has
a vision of a University where “zones of inquiry can be
organized around a broad range of topics: Mind, Body. Law,
Information, Networks, Language, … and Water.” Can you
imagine a Water program? It could “bring together people
in the humanities, arts, sciences... with professional schools
like Medicine, law...”
“End the University as We Know It”; The New York Times of 27 April 2009,

54. Dave Winer proposes
“We should aim to recreate the
environment that made the Internet
itself spring into existence, in
academic institutions.”

constructivism, etc. (Norman & Spohrer

teaching-learning process (Hannafin 2003)
61. Questions Not Worth
Asking
Is online learning more or less effective than
learning in a classroom?
Who cares. That question is irrelevant. Society
answered the need to use technology through its
broad adoption of the web/internet/online medium.
--G. Siemens

81. MOOC
“What we found was that in a MOOC, instead of
the classroom being the center, it becomes just
one node of the network of social interactions."
--G. Siemens
86. Papert, Minsky & Kay (2005):
• The key educational task is to
make connections
between powerful ideas and
passionate interests.
• Teach to think deeply
• Teach to think rigorously

92. "We're going to have
detailed records on
thousands of students who
have learned these skills,
many of whom will want to
make those skills available
to employers," said Mr.
Evans, the Virginia
professor. "So if a recruiter
is looking for the hundred
best people in some
geographic area that know
about machine learning,
that's something we could
provide, for a fee. I think it's
the cusp of a revolution."
