Changes
Key: Additions Deletions
I'll be presenting a keynote session sometime during the conference (need to figure that out :))...in advance of the conference - any questions? Any concerns about how technology is impacting things (from whatever perspective you hold)? Feel free to attach comments...
Title: Connectivism: Content, Connections, Conversation Description: Content has, for much of the life of formal education, held the prestigious central position, reflected in bold statements like “content is king”. Over the last five years, the web has shifted from write to a read/write model, where end users contribute to the original voice. Feedback is constant, original content is fluid. YouTube, blogs, wikis, podcasts, social book marking, and other simple, social tools have changed how we relate to each other and to content. These changes in the online space are now being mirrored in our classrooms and courses. Learners perceive content as a conduit to conversation. Changing learner expectations require that educators rethink how learning is fostered – a shift from passive content consumption to active content co-creation. How do these changes impact educators? Institutions? The process of learning?
