Text of the page (random words):
the abstract in this paper we look at how the massive open online course mooc format developed by connectivist researchers and enthusiasts can help analyze the complexity emergence and chaos at work in the field of education today we do this through the prism of a mobimooc a six week course focusing on mlearning that ran from april to may 2011 mobimooc embraced the core mooc components of self organization connectedness openness complexity and the resulting chaos and as such serves as an interesting paradigm for new educational post a comment read more publishing copyright and pay walls get link facebook x pinterest email other apps november 25 2011 the mobimooc research team has been working on our third paper further analyzing aspects of moocs and mobimooc in specific our forthcoming paper tackles the topic of emotive language usage in mooc discussions as a predictor of continued or future participation in the course we are currently in the process of going over and refining the paper but i don t want to give away the punchline before it s done in its totality in any case i ve taken the lead on this project to see which journal we can publish our findings in and i have found a journal whose theme is online learning and asynchronous networks which fits in with moocs and mooc pedagogy although to be honest i don t know how much mooc pedagogy there is out there perhaps something to put our heads together about anyway i was looking over the author submission guidelines to see what sort of format they wish to have us submit our paper in terms of citations footnotes and text formatting and 2 comments read more lurkers lurking learners learning what is learning get link facebook x pinterest email other apps november 24 2011 i tried making that rhyme to come up with a catchy title but it didn t really work out oh well maybe next time in any case in the research_mooc mailing list alan selig had an interesting question which i thought i would poke at for a while until i came to an answer or at least something to add to the discussion alan selig one final wonderment from my limited understanding of connectivist learning theory if the reflecting and remixing never leaves the head of the lurker except perhaps in their own behavior is it still learning if the wider community never receives a benefit does that disqualify the experience as being learning well i think that there are different levels of looking at this first of all is it learning if it never leaves the brain mind of the lurker strictly speaking if the learning never manifests itself outside of the mind i don t think it s learning this manifestation doesn t have to involve o post a comment read more soft hard technologies get link facebook x pinterest email other apps november 22 2011 this week in change11 our host is jon dron rhymes with tron and to topic is soft technologies hard technologies and everything in between while reading the seed post i got a distinct mental image of steve job s voice reading jon s initial post it had a jobsian feel to it the article is an interesting epistemological view of technology technology being very broad by definition since pedagogy is also taken to be a technology i honestly don t know what to make of this week just yet anyway it was an interesting read it did engage me mentally but where to go from here i suppose the activity itself might be a good starting point so jon asks us to provide at least one possible educational use for an unenhanced standard email client such as thunderbird or outlook express that requires nothing more than that email client and its usual supporting infrastructure network connection operating system etc are fine but no other distinct applications lik post a comment read more adjuncts accreditation and academic quality get link facebook x pinterest email other apps november 18 2011 the other day i posted some thoughts based on leahgrrl s original post on adjuncts and technology tony bates also posted thoughts on the issue around the topic of accreditation between these blog posts and comments to all three of them the mental gears started to slowly turn and think of additional thoughts around the issue the first one being accreditation tony writes that through his experiences being part of an accreditation agency adjunct labor is something that they pay attention to when new programs apply to become accredited but then there is no follow up i know our campus had a recent aquad review for all programs on our campus and both internal and external reviewers viewed departmental submissions of the resumes of these departments history of department course offerings student information course reviews faculty reviews student evaluations of courses and instructors etc in short everything an accreditor would post a comment read more abundance a tale of student usage get link facebook x pinterest email other apps november 17 2011 i was reading the blog posts that were posted yesterday on change mooc on the topic of learning in times of abundance and it suddenly hit me this learning in times of abundance reminds me a lot of the research i did on digital natives article forthcoming yes technology seems to be ubiquitous and so is information but as eric duval admitted in his intro post really big caveat of course all of this abundance talk is only relevant to us who are the privileged few who do not need to worry about where we will sleep this evening or how we will feed our children i thought of a few more caveats one of which i mentioned before that of literacy abundance is almost useless without the literacy to use it sort of like the old saying so much sea and yet i am thirsty ok i paraphrased a bit right there the other thing that i was reminded of is actual usage of this abundance in a lot of the good digital native research that i came across looked at f post a comment read more learning in times of abundance for quite some time now get link facebook x pinterest email other apps november 17 2011 this week s topic as i mentioned in my initial post is learning in times of abundance eric duval in his definition of abundance goes for the digital element but i wanted to focus on something a little more mundane the disconnected world of the library the fact of the matter is that our abundance of information is no new thing some may go back as far back as the invention of the printing press but i won t since buying books still costs money to the individual and thus while there is an abundance in materials it s not abundant to you because you ve got limited money instead i want to focus on something quaint the library the library has provided us with a lot of abundant information for both learning and pleasure through various consortia if your own town library or libraries don t carry the item you want they can get it for you usually for no extra charge so you can have access to whatever material you need i post a comment read more adjunct technology or pay your adjuncts better get link facebook x pinterest email other apps november 16 2011 i was reading a post by leahgrrl the other day titled adjunct technology or why i can t figure out blackboard it was quite an interesting post and not something completely foreign to me i ve read my fair share of adjunct posts on the chronicle of higher ed and inside higher ed as well as having known many adjuncts personally this past week while attending the sloan c annual conference virtually i saw a session on developing faculty and one of the institutions the name escapes me now had faculty take an 8 week long training seminar which focused on pedagogy but the final product of the course was a full course on blackboard or whatever lms the institution used the faculty were not paid for the workshop but they were paid a stipend for creating the course on blackboard so i guess they were sort of reimbursed for the time they spend on this

catching up on some recorded ones the recorded ones are not as fun since you don t have the twitter stream going in any case i was watching the session on state perspectives on online education and it seemed to me that there still is tension between the online side of the house and the face to face education side namely that the f2f side doesn t want online to be poaching their students and in some cases refusing to share resources this was a major facepalm moment for me because it s essentially two sides of the same organization fighting each other which is really counter productive so i tweeted competition between online f2f jeez can we get over it already recognize that ol or f2f doesnt matter its just one campus aln2011 which lead to a brief exchange post a comment read more l âge de l abondance get link facebook x pinterest email other apps november 11 2011 je sais que cette semaine n est pas fini mais je ne sais pas si j ai autres choses à dire pour ce sujet alors maintenant je pense à le sujet de change mooc de la semaine prochaine le thème de la semaine prochaine est l apprentissage dans le temps d abondance vraiment je ne sais pas que veut dire éric duval notre facilitateur pour cette semaine mais je me demande ce qui est en abondance l information non ça ne pourrait être correct parce que nos bibliothèques ont eu beaucoup des livres et information pour beaucoup de temps vrai une bibliothèque n as pas toutes les livres du monde mais quelqu un que veut quelque chose que son bibliothèque n as pas cette personne peux demander une livre d une autre bibliothèque utilisant le ill interlibrary loan je pense que nous avons eu l abondance en information depuis gutenberg et l invention de l imprimerie et bien sûr l existence de la système des bibliothèques post a comment read more change the phd phd by publication get link facebook x pinterest email other apps november 10 2011 the other day i was writing about changing the phd and jenny wrote an informative reply to my post informing me that in the uk there are actually three types of phd programs the ones that i had experience with though my researching of phd programs the enter with a dissertation topic those that have required course components and a dissertation what i would term north american style and finally a type of phd program called phd by publication being curious i spent some time looking into what is meant by this type of phd program and it added to my readitlater reading list along with the change11 posts that i wanted to read that day i have to say that i was sufficiently intrigued by this method of getting a phd as jenny alluded it it is hard to get into this type of program since it seems like it s either reserved for staff members of the university so perhaps as a way of getting required credentials for career advancemen 1 comment read more ριζωματική γνώση πως μεγαλώνει αυτή η ρίζα get link facebook x pinterest email other apps november 09 2011 το περασμένο σαββατοκύριακο είδα πως είχαμε μια νέα μονάδα στο change11 με θέμα την ριζωματική γνώση ήθελα να γράψω κάτι περί αυτού γιατί πάνω κάτω συμφωνώ με αυτή την επιστημολογία αλλά δεν μου ερχόταν να γράψω κάτι λίγο δύσκολο να γράψεις για κάτι που ήδη συμφωνείς και φυσικά δεν ήθελα να γράψω μια περίληψη αυτών που διάβασα αυτό με έκανε να αρχίσω να σκέφτομαι το πως τρέφονται και μεγαλώνουν αυτές οι ρίζες γιατί μεγαλώνουν προς μία κατεύθυνση και όχι άλλη ή πως με τι ακατέργαστα υλικά αρχίζουν τα τρέφονται γενικός μετά σκέφτηκα την παρομοίωση της ανάπτυξης της γνώσης ως γυμναστήριο μπορεί να πηγαίνεις και να γυμνάζεσαι αλλά αν δεν έχεις κάποιο μεγαλύτερο σκοπό π χ να πάρεις χρυσό στην άρση βαρών τότε γυμνάζεις το κορμί σου πάνω κάτω ίσια αν έχεις κάποιο σκοπό στο νου τότε κάποια σημεία του σώματός σου είναι πιο γυμνασμένα από άλλα τώρα που πάω με αυτή την παρομοίωση δεν ξέρω το σκέφτηκα και το καταγράφω απλός μου έκανε αυτή η σκέψη πως τρέφεται και μεγ post a

november 07 2011 this post is only peripherally related to rhizomatic knowledge so you can skip it if you want yesterday evening i was looking over my twitter stream and i saw a post re tweeted by george siemens on what to say when someone asks you should i do a phd this post got me thinking again about the differences between a us or perhaps a north american phd program and a uk phd program in the us and i assume canada phd programs that i ve looked at anyway seem to be like a masters most programs again the ones that i have explored are around 60 credits which is about the equivalent of 2 masters degrees which include required coursework elective courses research methodology courses and a dissertation if you enter the phd program with a masters degree in the field you can get some coursework waived but how much is waived is really up to institutional policies by contrast a uk phd at least my understanding of it from when i was loo 4 comments read more rhizomatic knowledge initial thoughts get link facebook x pinterest email other apps november 06 2011 this week s topic in changemooc is brought to us by dave cormier and the topic is rhizomatic knowledge rhizome coming from the greek word for root ok that s my last big fat greek wedding moment for this blog post dave tells us that the idea comes from gilles deleuze and felix guattari in their book a thousand plateaus and the idea at least according to deleuze and guattari is that in a rhizome ideas are multiple interconnected and self replicating a rhizome has no beginning or end like the learning process it s quite an interesting epistemological view of knowledge and i can see how ideas are off shoots of others thoughts and idea we see this every day in sayings like going off on a tangent or the infamous six degrees to game everything is connected which goes nicely with my previous blog post looking at rhizomatic knowledge from a literal perspective there may be no...
