Pedagogical Communication is about ...

commitments
a self-regulating process to be organized
5
Pedagogical communication is systemic
circular causality effect (B) retroacts on
cause (A) that produced it.
whole gt sum of the parts

• an element does not make much sense when isolated
  
• from context

6
a set of interconnected parts retroacting on one
another
Feedback loop
circular causality
7

• If I teach with a systemic viewpoint,
• where should I start ?

8
a spiral of causality
a given level of individual development allows
participation in social interactions which
produce new individual states which, in turn,
make possible more sophisticated social
interaction and so on. (Dillenbourg et al, 95)
social interactions
9
A systemic viewpoint...
Focus from a systemic viewpoint

• Instead of Single variables
• Parts
• Linear relationships

• Multiple dynamic interactions
• Patterns of relationships
• (e.g. circular causality)
• The whole

Control from a systemic viewpoint,

• Instead of Goal-Driven
• Negative feedback
• Adjust for error

• Goal-Driven (adjust for error)
• Positive feedback
• Change of goals

• David Hockneys Pearblossom Highway
• For the viewer, Pearblossom Highway is an example
  of Hockney's playful investigation of
  perspective.
• Intrigued by how cubist painters incorporated
  multiple viewpoints of a single subject, here he
  has taken their approach and applied it to the
  medium of photography.
• In fact, Hockney has even described Pearblossom
  Highway as
• "a panoramic assault on Renaissance one-point
  perspective."
• A picture created in one-point perspective has a
  fixed central viewpoint, and objects in the
  picture appear to recede in space as they
  approach a single point on the horizon.

communication hypertext
30
Hypertext is a good metaphor for communication

• The final meaning of a  communication  is the
  result of all comments made on it

•  communication  can be thought of as an
  hypertext

31
The hypertext metaphor
- works by association rather than indexing. -
is a format for nonsequential representation of
ideas. - abolish the linear approach to
information display / processing. - is nonlinear
and dynamic. - content is not bound by structure
and organization.
Hypertext
The term "hypertext" is usually credited to Ted
Nelson, (1962) with the idea of hyperspace in his
mind what he calls "the most fundamental tool of
human thought," a tool that allows you to see
alternative versions on the same screen on
parallel windows and mark side by side what the
differences are. Hypertext was first conceived
as a literary tool that enables the author of a
text to extend his or her text to the multiple
and successive versions of it, in order to
compare them. and the real issue is how can we
hold partially organized materials for
inter-comparison  (Nelson,93)
32
critical thinking
Ceci est un hypertexte
No. In fact, it is just a comment
33
This reminds me of Nelsons hypertext...

•  Ce qui est la supériorité de la raison critique
  est le pouvoir de définir un ensemble par un
  nouvel ensemble à définir, par un principe de
  circularité infinie où chaque mot ne peut être
  défini que par d autres mots 

How about pictures critical thinking?
Roland Barthes

comment on  critical thinking 

• Critical thinking is "reasonably and reflectively
  deciding what to believe or do."

reflective thinking

• It is awfully hard to drive and check the roadmap
  in the meantime

• It is awfully hard to think about thinking while
  thinking, ( but Computers provide tools to help
  us split the tasks
• Trace tools like e-savoir keep a journal of a
  navigation so that one can reflect on it.
• Traces are objects to think (about thinking) with
• Traces are objects to build with

mapping

38
Design of distributed hypermedia for Educational
usage
Conceptual mapping

• This will be the foundation for the correct
  design of hypermedia documents.
• Students will learn how to develop the same topic
  from different curricular fields. This kind of
  approach will introduce smoothly the concept of
  non-linear structures of information.
• We mean with "contextual" an application embedded
  in its educative environment. Students must learn
  how to select the adequate materials according
  to the grade of final users.

Global thinking approach
"Contextual" applications.

Italo Calvino's "Six Memos For The Next
Millennium." SIX DESIGN STRATEGIES FOR THE NEXT
MILLENIUM

• Calvino summarizes his thoughts on what
  constitutes the "quality in literature."
• Allegorical in nature, the memos attempt to
  identify universal qualities of any human work.
• Namely, thinking of his own work and the history
  of literature
  (philosophy), he distinguished six qualities
  that a successful work should
  have
• Lightness, Quickness, Exactitude, Visibility,
• Multiplicity and Consistency.
