Use Twitter #Hashtags to Amplify Your Learning!
Zaid Ali Alsagoff, ZaidLearn

A couple of my earlier posts didn’t get picked up – perhaps because I used the cck11 tag only as a category (and in the blog url) rather than in the content or title of the post. (And adding it retroactively didn’t seem to work either) [Link] 2011-02-24T07:37:54 [Comment]

Teaching and learning come first
Kay Lehmann, Transparent Ignorance
Just a quick post... I have had a lot of big projects on my to-do list and #CCK11 took a big time backseat. I have some thoughts on why my first MOOC experience turned out this way and will share them in a day or two but first, a fun visual.I do a lot of work with the fine folks at ISTE as a project reviewer. Of late I have been steeped in the refreshed NETS-T (National Educational [Link] 2011-02-24T00:12:00 [Comment]

Higher Ed sponsored PLEs...an oxymoron?
AK, Multilitteratus Incognitus
I was reading one of the items for this week's CCK11 session, which happens to be on PLEs. The readings was an Educause "7 things you should know about..." type of document. If you don't know what a PLE (personal learning environment) is, the abstract gives a good succinct overview:The term personal learning environment (PLE) describes the tools, communities, and services that constitute the individual educational platforms that learners use to direct their own learning and pursue ....

Higher Ed sponsored PLEs...an oxymoron?
Stephen Downes, 1110 - Multilitteratus Incognitus, February 24, 2011.

There's a discussion being conducted right now - Cable Green talked about it - under the heading of Open Educational Resources University, where this subject comes up explicitly. There are, it seems to me, two major schools of thought in the field - one in which OERs are 'produced' by publishers and universities, in order to ensure quality, etc., and funded through some sort of sponsorship program or even by charging students fees, and the other in which OERs are created by learners themselves and shared in a wider OER ecology. Not surprisingly, I subscribe to the second [Comment]
