2. students know stuff.

3. students * students are becoming ever harder to define in traditional ways like, say, someone who shows up to “class”. ** know in ways that are explicit, measurable, quantifiable; but also in ways that are tacit, immeasurable, and, frankly, taken for granted. *** stuff about not only technology and the web, but also about people, practices, potential. know stuff. ******

19. how else can we do this?

20. convert people OER curriculum materials c into producing OER who are these people?

21. what about students?

22. and a team of U-M OER specialists... for use by students, educators and self-learners... Motivated students... collaborate with faculty... to gather, review, edit, and publish course materials... worldwide.

37. create a method that is... : scalable : sustainable : cost effective : enables refresh address main challenges of OCW creation one CC: BY-SACC: BY-SA jfabra (flickr) approach: we could leverage the capacity of institutional technologies and talents we had training in automating and simplifying complex process approach: we could leverage the capacity of institutional technologies and talents we had training in automating and simplifying complex process

38. do-it-yourself, digital, distributed motivated students or individuals who: organize, clear, tag course materials are familiar with technology and software learn about intellectual property & copyright engage with content in new ways “dScribes”

39. benefits to students: master course content learn about copyright and copyleft establish unique connection w/ faculty potential to get course credit collaborate w/ other dedicated classmates make resources available to everyone dScribe publication model

40. benefits to faculty: students in course know best! establishing unique connection w/ students quality assurance of materials obtain user feedback on content >> improve content dScribe publication model

41. issues we have noted: difference between student quality and faculty quality of work limited expertise in subject area limited time to devote to OER production difficult to obtain the right balance of incentives for participation and production dScribe publication model

42. the classroom is changing two CC: BY-SACC: BY-SA jfabra (flickr) social view of learning & learning 2.0

43. a Cartesian view of knowledge and learning :: John Seely Brown and Richard P. Adler : “I think therefore I am” : knowledge as substance & pedagogy as knowledge transfer CC: BY-NC-SA smallestbones (flickr) http://www.flickr.com/photos/jenkim/5535084http://www.flickr.com/photos/jenkim/5535084 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.0/a/2.0/ Cartesian perspective assumes that knowledge is a kind of substance and that pedagogy thinks that the best way to transfer this substance is from teachers to students. See: Brown, John Seely and Richard P. Adler, “Minds on Fire: Open Education, the Long Tail, and Learning 2.0” Educause Review, January/February 2008, pages 17 - 32

44. the social view of learning - learning 2.0 :: John Seely Brown and Richard P. Adler : “we participate therefore we are” : understanding is socially constructed CC: BY-NC berbercarpet (flickr) http://www.flickr.com/photos/flickerbulb/1477994596 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/2.0/ - our understanding of content is socially constructed through conversations about that content and through grounded interactions around problems and actions. not “what” but “how” we learn (JSB) See: Brown, John Seely and Richard P. Adler, “Minds on Fire: Open Education, the Long Tail, and Learning 2.0” Educause Review, January/February 2008, pages 17 - 32

45. learning 2.0 - characteristics :: connected : students, staff, & faculty :: global audience : facebook, slideshare, YouTube :: participatory : commenting as part of assignments :: project based learning : authentic assessments and real clients :: technology as a mindset, not a skill : blogs, wikis, multimedia, social networking : collaborative virtual spaces : permanent records of work and conversations more here in Kim Cofino’s presentation - “The 21st Century Classroom” http://www.slideshare.net/mscofino/the-21st-century-classroom

46. a summary :: sharing as the norm :: learning is more about how than what :: participation and collaboration are key a proposition :: learning how to be open is essential to engaging in social learning and learning 2.0 Not just “learning about” but “learning to be” developing the practices and norms of a the practitioners in a field to acculturate ones self into a culture of practice Not just “learning about” but “learning to be” developing the practices and norms of a the practitioners in a field to acculturate ones self into a culture of practice

47. is a step in that direction.

48. students as makers. students as collaborators. students as teachers. sharing the stuff they know. making learning relevant, interesting, meaningful. making open the norm.
