Comments on OpenLearn Presentation
OCHRE's take on Rose's presentation at OpenLearn
Things of interest:
- the wikipedia rebuttal of 'learner generated contexts' as 'non-notable jargon'
- clarification of environment needed
- BECTA's harnessing technology and enhancing learner voice seen as amusing
- audience perception - difficulty in reading light text on dark background
- ecology of resources
- clarification of what is meant by 'agency'
- role of teacher as facilitator of networking and in development of communities
- perception that some teachers may be feeling marginalised by LGC
- how to get teachers to accept LGC
- issue: teachers not trained to teach in LGC mode but differently
- debate: asking teachers to put aside all training and do this now is a pretty huge step
- comparison of LGC with participatory learning enquiry discussed by John earlier
Comment on blog entry by Patrick
-
move from user generated content to learner generated context
-
readiness for change in education
-
idea of 'work for publication' coincides with notion of learners' work being published
-
making learning relevant is key to garnering attention (as per Academia 2.0)
-
how to move forward
- move away from conventional social networking spaces towards learner generated contexts
- comparison made with Bonnie Nardi - activity theory, distributed cognition, situated action (information ecologies)
- contrast between emerging activity and need to meet outcomes
- still not sure what we are dealing with
- lots of tacit knowledge, perhaps best places in a reparatory grid (i.e. labelling idea with more solid labels)
