EAMILMicrolearning/e-learningQuo Vadis?
  • Norm Friesen

  • to speak about pedagogy is to speak about
    everything at once.
  • Jean Paul (c1800)

3
Themes
  • Definitional
  • Styles, habits, attention, practice, tools
  • Overload, organizing, tagging
  • Technology mis-appropriation

4
Microlearning
  • Microcontents as fine granularity learning
    objects that are created in concrete environments
    that have some inherent subjectivity, and that
    are in many cases informal, not following a
    strong educational intention.

5
Microlearning (Wikipedia)
  • deals with relatively small learning units and
    short-term learning activities. Generally, the
    term 'microlearning' refers to micro-perspectives
    in the context of learning, education and
    training. More frequently, the term is used in
    the domain of E-learning and related fields in
    the sense of a new paradigmatic perspective on
    learning processes in mediated environments on
    micro levels.

    Microlearning
  • Aranuld Leene Web 2.0 Using the Internet
    without using the Web.
  • Martin Lindner Always already microlearning.
  • Arnauld Leene What is it it is how I use it.
    (Personal, authentic use.)

Cognitive Styles and Attitudes
  • George Siemens
  • Media Generations
  • Learning as occurring through the
    strengthening/weakening of connections
  • Re-writing these pathways and connection, coping
    with uncertainty
  • Shared symbolic forms, language

9
Cognitive Styles and Attitudes
  • Evolution and acquisition of cognitive habits and
    capabilities
  • we suggest that the objects of thought are not
    always inside the brain.
  • Information habits, tools used, when and why
  • Coulter, 2005 Mind is either a vernacular
    notion with commonplace uses, or a philosophical
    reification. it actually can impede our
    understanding of how we speak and hear, how we
    say and to things, in our everyday lives.

10
Habitus?
  • Habitus can sometimes be understood as those
    aspects of culture that are anchored in the body
    or daily practices of individuals, groups,
    societies, and nations. It includes the totality
    of learned habits, bodily skills, styles, tastes,

11
Habitus?
  • and other non-discursive knowledges that might be
    said to "go without saying" for a specific group.
    The scope of the term has been extended to
    include a person's beliefs and dispositions.

12
Overload
  • Information overload filtering
  • Following voices, or tiny chunks
  • Hypertext navigation and new cognitive styles
  • Attention, behaviour and interfaces
  • How we manage info overload in everday life and
    practices

13
  • Filtering power
  • Ecosystem of ideas healthy ones survive.
  • New literacies

14
Wisdom of Crowds
  • Cognition Market judgment, which he argues can
    be much faster, more reliable, and less subject
    to political forces
  • Coordination of behavior, such as not colliding
    in moving traffic flows, crowding in popular
    restaurants. experimental economics, He examines
    how common understanding within a culture allows
    remarkably accurate judgments about specific
    reactions of other members of the culture.

15
Wisdom of Crowds
  • Cooperation How groups of people can form
    networks of trust without a central system
    controlling their behavior or directly enforcing
    their compliance.

16
The Crowd
  • omnipresent but amorphous anonymity
  • We have all encountered they-selves in our
    traditional classrooms. These are the students
    who refuse to question their own presuppositions
    about the world by appealing to dogma,
    conventional opinion, common sense, or a
    generalized consensus They think as people do,
    as in people think that studying philosophy is a
    waste of time, or people dont wear that style
    any more. David Koukal

Technological Innovation
  • Dodge-ball (Th. Vander Wal) Stay-at home
    parents initially created for bar-scene
  • IRC (Arnauld Leene) Created for remote
    commuication used in wireless classrooms for
    comments additional layer of communication
  • IRC with Skype

19
Social Software
  • Mis-using the technology
  • One artifact, software system is realized as a
    different technology in different contexts
  • Design through participation
  • Contra Technological Determinism
  • Medium is the Message

20
Continuity Principle
  • The new grows out of the old, repeats the old,
    embraces, reimagines and extends the old. To
    understand the Web, Im saying --to understand
    our emerging digital culture-- we need a
    continuity not a discontinuity principle
    (Thorburn, 2004 24, emphasis added).
