Set Up Your Social Web
, , September 14, 2011.

---

Welcome to Day 3 of the Change MOOC orientation week. Today it's all about setting up your social web. Here's an introduction to the social web aspect of this online course.

In particular, once you are logged in, you should click on the Options link in the upper right hand corner of course pages. Clicking on this takes you to your options page, where you can manage your online presence in change.mooc.ca. This page lets you manage your social network in the course.

We would especially like to encourage you to add your blog or RSS feed. We will aggregate the posts you write over the year, and if you use the #change11 tag in the title, body or category of your post, we'll be able to link to it in the course newsletter and make it available in the content viewer. To submit your feed, click on the Add a New Feed link. This will take you to a form where you can add your feed information.

Visit and reload the the blog viewer page - we'll be approving and harvesting starting this evening. [Comment]

What Else is Happening?
Stephen Downes, change.mooc.ca, September 14, 2011.

---

We encourage all participants in #change11 to create or manage their own course activities elsewhere on the web. If you set up an activity and send us email then we will:

- provide a description and link in the 'Facilitators Posts' section of the course newsletter
- add your activities to the Web-based Activities page.

Some activities have already been started - a Facebook group, a teleconference schedule, more. Visit the page to see these, and more, listed. You can start participating any time. [Comment]

OpenStudy Group
Ashwin Ram, OpenStudy, September 14, 2011.

---

Web-based Activity: Ashwin Ram writes, "We've created an OpenStudy group for the Change MOOC. The best way to add it as a suggested resource is to embed a small widget that lets your participants see the interactions while on your course page. Here's an example from MIT's Intro CS course - the OpenStudy group is in the left column. It's easy to embed - just a one-line script (just like adding a link)." [Comment]

Change11 Facebook Group
Lars Was, Facebook, September 14, 2011.

Web-based Activity: Lars Was writes, "As I will be attending the Change11 MOOC, I've taken the liberty to create a group in Facebook called "Change11". It's an open group, anyone can participate. Maybe you could share it in your next Daily, so we can start to get to know each other a bit better, before the course actually starts." Done! [Comment]

Hiya Andrew - I've checked, you're subscribed ok, I'm sending, it appears you are not receiving. It may be that the newsletters are being filtered by your service provider.

One way you can test this is to set up an alternative email address (gmail, say) and change your email to that. You should receive the email in the new account. If so, that confirms that your email is being blocked by your host. [Comment]

Live Meeting Facility
, , September 19, 2011.

---

We have set up our online conferencing environment, an open source application called Big Blue Button, and integrated it into gRSShopper. This means that anyone who has a #change11 userid and who is logged in can go to the Live Meetings page and create their own meeting.

This is a greate opportunity to try out the conferencing environment before the scheduled session. When you go to the Live Meetings page you will see a list of meetings in progress. Enter any of them and test your audio and video. The rooms are still in the experimental stage, so we would appreciate your feedback. [Comment]

End of Week 3
, , September 30, 2011.

---

It's the end of week 3 in the #change11 course.

If you just joined recently - perhaps in the last two weeks - you may be feeling a little lost. Not to worry: this is your reset button.

- First, because you probably missed it, Go to the Week 1 Orientation materials over the weekend and get your bearings.

- Second, after looking around this website, go to the Web-Based Activities page and check out the activities offered by participants around the web (and remember, if you are hosting an activity, send a note to stephen@downes.ca so we can add your activity to this page).

- Third, each week in this course is stand-alone. So, starting on Monday, start over. It's a fresh new week, a fresh new topic, and you are starting on the same footing as everyone else.

Have fun, and we'll see you Monday. [Comment]

COLLECTIVE LEARNING: literacies and resources
, , October 6, 2011.

---

Learning effectively from the collective requires open learning literacies and resources which complement traditional types. Some of our work in UK Higher Education attempts to define and consider these and begin to foster them within formal education. These ideas are explored in task 4.

Task 4 is to contribute to the discussion on evolving learning ecologes by considering the following questions: What literacies, resources and mindsets do people need for collective learning? How do you (as participants in the MOOC) create/ share knowledge? Use #change11 #collective4 to share your ideas.

You may wish to critique some of the ideas in the blogpost on literacies and resources for collective learning http://littlebylittlejohn.com/learning-ecosystem/

Today at 12:00 noon Atlantic (11:00 a.m. Eastern, check your time zone), we will have (really this time!) a conversation with Allison Littlejohn about some of these ideas. Click here to enter the meeting.

COLLECTIVE LEARNING: examples
, , October 3, 2011.

---

with Allison Littlejohn

The aim of this week is to introduce collective learning. By ‘collective learning’ we mean how people learn through sourcing, using and making sense of the collective knowledge – the knowledge stored in people, resources, computers, networks etc. In this sense collective learning is different from ‘collaborative learning’ in that people can learn collaboratively in different configurations (such as groups, networks, etc) or can learn through direct interaction with ‘the collective’.

During the week we will explore what is ‘the individual’ what is ‘the collective’ and examine how technology helps us redefine relationships between the two. We will think about some of the issues surrounding collective learning, and hope to draw on your views, as course participants, to enhance our understanding through collective learning. Each day this week, you can contribute your own perspective.

You can make a start on this right now by reading the position paper (http://littlebylittlejohn.com/change11-position-paper/). Once you have done this, use your blog or twitter (or any other tool) to let me know about examples of collective learning (for learning and for knowledge creation) which you have encountered or participated in. Use the tags #change11 and #collective to share ideas.

Some of my research collaborators, Lou MCGill, Colin Milligan and Anoush Margaryan, are joining our discussions this week. We have prepared a blog post with a few examples at: http://littlebylittlejohn.com/collective-learning-examples
I’ve put some other resources to help with this task at http://littlebylittlejohn.com/task1/

Tomorrow, Tuesday, there is a scheduled synchronous session at 5pm (UK time). We will discuss any responses provided by then, as well as exploring some of the key research questions surrounding collective learning. #week4

COLLECTIVE LEARNING: charting the collective knowledge
, , October 4, 2011.

---

This week we are exploring issues of collective learning. The position paper, linked yesterday contains some background information on collective learning and identifies some key issues.

Today there is a scheduled synchronous session at 5pm (UK time) (12:00 noon eastern, check time zones). We will explore some of the key research questions surrounding collective learning, and discuss some examples of collective learning contributed by course participants.

One key question in Collective Learning is how we understand the binding force that connects people while they are learning. Read this blog post http://littlebylittlejohn.com/charting/ which puts forward some alternative views.

Do you agree? Why not contribute to the debate by posting a response on your blog (or any other tool) to the ideas discussed. What do you think is the ‘binding force’ that connects people while they are learning in groups, networks and collectives? The ‘further reading’ (below) outlines contemporary thinking about binding forces in networks and discusses what these terms mean. Use the tags #change11 #collective to share ideas.

Here is a narrated version of Allison Littlejohn's slides. It's not the same as a live online seminar, but it's close enough for now. The presentation is first-rate and it would be a shame to have people miss it.

As you may know, we've been having more online meeting problems. We're scheduled to try again tomorrow at 11:00 a.m. Eastern (noon Atlantic, check your time zone), probably not with Fuze. Check this page Thursday for access information. [Comment]

COLLECTIVE LEARNING
, , October 7, 2011.

---

This is the last day of the week on collective learning, we hope you have enjoyed thinking about some of the issues we have presented and discussed. In our work, we have tried to define the knowledge actions underpinning collective learning as described in the post here http://littleby littlejohn.com/charting.html Using these actions as a framework has helped us think about collective learning.

Do you think the knowledge actions of consume, connect, create, contribute are a useful framework to think about collective learning? What online (and offline?) tools support these behaviours? Is there anything missing within this toolset? Use #change11 and #collective5 to share your ideas as usual.

Today there is a scheduled synchronous session at 5pm (UK time) where we will reflect on the ideas presented during the week and the different perspectives provided by course participants. (Browse blog posts here)

The online session starts at 12:00 noon Atlantic (11:00 a.m. Eastern, check your time zone). Click here to enter the meeting.

We will continue to synthesise the ideas collected during the course of this week and will provide links on our blogs (list all blogs) tagged as usual: #change11 and #collective

Tony Bates: Managing technology to transform teaching
Tony Bates, , October 17, 2011.

---

This week’s topic is Managing technology to transform teaching and looks at how university and college management can bring about changes to transform the institution. A key theme of the discussions will be: Can change come from within, or do we need to re-invent new forms of higher education that are de-institutionalized?

Why this topic?

New technologies will transform and are transforming post-secondary education in many different ways. Some argue that they will lead to the dismantling of universities and colleges as we know them.

However, it is my view that universities and colleges will be with us for some time into the future. There is always likely to be a need for guidance, structure and assessment of learning, and many learners will look to established institutions for such support, and for ways to validate what they have learned.

Reflecting on #socialartists and #change11
Nancy White, Full Circle Associates, November 9, 2011.

---

You won't want to miss this retrospective post from last week's guest, Nancy White. The post is a rich tapestry of links to blog comments, background readings and discussion of last week's themes. She reflects first on the process of participating in the #Change11 course, and then expands on the idea of "social artistry" that caught out collective imagination during her week. She traces the concept back to its origins in the work of Etienne Wenger and quotes on the topic at length from David Wilcox. She also draws out the closely associated concept of habitus, drawing from Vanessa Vaile, who said, "I see strong traces of habitus in Digital Habitats." According to Wikipedia, habitus is "the set of socially learnt dispositions, skills and ways of acting, that are often taken for granted, and which are acquired through the activities and experiences of everyday life." But if you really want more, you'll want to see Bourdieu's The Logic of Practice. See also this post on setting norms. [Comment]

The nature of technologies
Jon Dron, Athabasca University, November 21, 2011.

---

Jon Dron, Athabasca University
Soft technologies need skill and artistry. It ain’t just what you do, it’s the way that you do it. A bad technology, used well, can work brilliantly, while a good technology, used badly, can be useless. Most learning technology research concentrates on technology (including methods and pedagogies) not the talent and skill with which it is applied that is frequently more significant. The challenge is to devise research methods that capture this usefully. #week11 [Comment]

Week 11: Jon Dron
, , November 21, 2011.

This week #week11 we are pleased to welcome Jon Dron from Athabasca University. We have a live session with him Wednesday, November 23, at 1:00 pm eastern. And Jon has posted a wealth of content online. You can also view his home page.

Jon Dron is (2011) an associate professor in the School of Computing and Information Systems and member of the Technology Enhanced Knowledge Research Institute (TEKRI) at Athabasca University, Canada. Until 2007 he was a pincipal lecturer at the University of Brighton, UK. Straddling the technology/education divide, his research interests broadly centre around social aspects of learning technologies, with a particular emphasis on discovering, designing and employing methods and technologies to enable learners to help each other to learn. He has published a book: Control & Constraint in E-Learning: Choosing When to Choose. He is a National Teaching Fellow of the Higher Education Academy in the UK. [Comment]

Engagement and Motivation in MOOCs
Stephen Downes, Stephen's Web, November 23, 2011.

---

In this presentation I look at the issues of engagement and motivation in Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs). I outline the development of MOOCs and some of the features that make them distinct from traditional courses. Then I look at some of the literature regarding online student engagement, and apply that with respect to MOOCs. I find that many traditional measures - such as counting attendance or page views - do not account for the sort of engagement we'd like to see, and is demonstrated for example in ds106. In addition, provision of the ability to determine one's own educational path or even to satisfy one's other motivations, may be necessary, but are not sufficient, to support motivation in MOOCs. In the end I consider the example of how motivation is created in gaming environments, and wonder whether MOOCs need challenges and the possibility of failure in order to stimulate student engagement.

Slow Learning
Clark Quinn, , December 5, 2011.

---

Our formal learning approaches too often don’t follow how our brains really work. We have magic now; we can summon up powerful programs to do our bidding, gaze through webcams across distances, and bring anyone and anything to pretty much anywhere. Our limitations are no longer the technology, but our imaginations. The question is, what are we, and should be, doing with this technology? Also posted here. #week13 [Comment]

Initial reflections on Slow Learning #change11
Clark Quinn, Learnlets, December 6, 2011.

I have to say that I found the comments on my initial post very interesting and challenging. A couple of themes have emerged that partly I want to elaborate on, and partly want to reflect upon. I believe in, and do try, ‘learning out loud’, so I’ll both try to elaborate and draw myself up short. [Comment]

Making Slow Learning Concrete #change11
Clark Quinn, Learnlets, December 7, 2011.

---

It occurs to me that I’ve probably not conveyed in any concrete terms what I think the ‘slow learning’ experience might be like. And I admit that I’m talking a technology environment in the concrete instance (because I like toys)... The notion is that you might have more formal and informal goals, and the system would layer on information, augmenting your reality with extra information aligned to your interests and goals, making the world richer. It could and would help performance in the moment, but also layer on some concepts on top. [Comment]

Further (slow) thoughts on learning #change11
Clark Quinn, Learnlets, December 9, 2011.

---

I’ve been monitoring the comments on my #change11 posts, and rather than address them individually, I’m posting responses. So, a couple of questions have recurred about the slow learning concept. One is how the notion of quick small bites reflects a slower learning process. Another is how it might play out in the organization. And a final one is about the overall pedagogy. [Comment]
