  1. Web2.0a learning and teaching viewpoint Scott Wilson, CETIS http://www.cetis.ac.uk/members/scott/foaf.rdf This work is licensed under a Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 2.0 licence

  2. web 2.0 >>> eLearning 2.0 • Going personal and global • Symmetric relationships • Mashing and remixing

  3. Learning & Teaching in a Web 2.0 world • Discover opportunities to learn • Create and share work • Collect and remix • Collaborate with others • Innovate and develop technique

  4. Discovery and Learning and Discovery and Learning and … • Cyclic process • Sometimes the point of an episode is to shape discovery • For the learner, the processes of doing and choosing what to do next are closely bound together • Shared goals form social bonds and can enable formation of networks

  5. Strategies for discovery • Searching • Matching goals/interests/competencies • Building on previous achievements • Collaborative social filtering • Collaborative social intelligence • Finding a pathway to a future goal • Serendipity

  6. 2.0: Going Global with Learning Networks • Combining (mashups) of formal and informal learning episodes • Using shared goals to forge a social identity • Symmetry of experience in informal and formal discovery and action • Global community of peers • The Long Tail

  7. Aggregating opportunities • Formal learning • Prospectuses • XCRI - RSS for the prospectus! • AND Informal learning • 43Things • LiveJournal Communities • Flickr Groups • MeCanBe

  8. Learning networks • In the future, will learners already be part of a learning network before joining a course? • Will they have a pre-existing community of peers? • Inversion - can institutions be facilitators of learning networks instead of purveyors of courses? • tencompetence

  9. Creating and Sharing • Writing (and photographing, drawing, filming, recording…) • Developing a professional identity • Developing competence, confidence, and independence • Going global for feedback

  10. Collecting and Remixing: Pedagogy • Constructivism • attenuating and labelling a subset of the knowledge environment; re-categorising a conception of the knowledge environment into a personal schema; synthesis (dialectic) • Connectivism • Forming new connections and generating networks that extend the power of the individual; however, actionable knowledge (learning) resides in the network, not necessarily the individual

  11. Tagging and republishing • Sharing playlists • RSS, Atom, OPML, XSPF… • identity, priority, shared understanding • extending (globally) the power of an individual act of tagging/mixing • Flickr, del.icio.us, …

  12. Collaboration • Collaboration is at the heart of many pedagogic strategies • Collaborative knowledge construction • Group activity

  13. Collaborative Knowledge Construction • Wikis • Collaborative bookmarking and remixing • Conversation

  14. Coordination of Group Activity • Who? • Teacher-designed activity • Learner self-organised activity • Why? • Project-based learning • Collaborative research • Study and debating groups • Structured investigations

  15. Coordinated group activity • What? • Planning, scheduling and managing action • Collaborative writing (drawing, recording, filming) • Journaling • Conversation • How? • BaseCamp, TaDaList, Google Calendar, 30Boxes, iCalendar … • Writely, wikis … • Blogger, LiveJournal, TypePad, Wordpress … • Skype, AIM, MSN…

  16. Self-organisation • Learners need to be able to organize themselves • Define their own groups • VLEs are too often asymmetric - what the student can do vs. what the teacher can do • VLEs are too closed - groups can only be within the organisation

  17. Innovation • Learning is all about trying new things. • Teaching requires adapting and learning • The desire to innovate is genuine - but may not coincide with the technological ideas of institutions…

  18. Implementation • Self-service • Hosted services • Self-installed: the Rise of Moodle • Recombinant software • Mashups and composites • The new HyperCard? • Blurring the desktop and the web • desktop web service applications and widgets • AJAX and rich internet clients

  19. Technique • Teachers and learners develop technique in the tools they use • Sometimes a choice of innovation is driven by the desire to acquire or develop technique • Motivation for developing technique is greater for personally-owned technologies

  20. The Challenge • Students and teachers are already using web 2.0 • Web 2.0 emphasizes personal technology connected globally • bypassing institutions?
