- they publish websites, online, starting in Week 2 of the semester, revising and adding to their project all semester, long and reading and commenting on each other’s work.
- step by step, with lots of revision, so even students who find writing difficult create good work
- 4 more annotations...
- - Loosely coupled teaching could also apply to content - e.g. pulling in RSS feeds from a variety of sources.
  - an English teacher uses blogs and wikis.
  - have a class that combines Pageflakes, google writer and our own wiki.
  - Problem is conglomerating these tools into a “loosely coupled” format, as you put it so well, may be well-suited for higher order learning, but not when students need fairly basic and structured information. My biggest fear is that for the introductory-level students that I teach the static and background noise of such an experience will inhibit their learning and application, which may under-prepare them for the next courses in the sequence.

- Recently, notions of personal learning environments (PLEs) have been brought forward and discussed as a viable alternative to the centralized approach to technological support for teaching and studying that most educational institutions employ.

- learning management systems do not support a social constructivist
  approach which emphasizes self-governed learning activities of students.
- distance education or campus based education,
- 20 more annotations...
- - "ICT has penetrated tertiary education, but has had more impact on administrative
    services (e.g. admissions, registration, fee payment, purchasing) than on the
    pedagogic fundamentals of the classroom." (OECD,
    2005, p. 15)
  - t is argued that social software tools enable a different way of using the
    web within an educational context. The article discusses how social software
    can be used to support a social constructivist approach to e-learning, or more
    specifically, how social software can support self-governed, problem-based
    and collaborative activities.
  - The question of organizing
    e-learning tools involves the problem of integration vs. separation.
    On the one hand, it is possible to integrate different tools in a single stand-alone
    system, a learning management system, also called virtual learning environments
    or e-learning systems (such systems include Blackboard, WebCT, Moodle). On
    the other hand, tools can be separated in a number of distributed and independent
    applications used for different purposes.
  - "[...] networked tools that support and encourage individuals to learn
    together while retaining individual control over their time, space, presence,
    activity, identity and relationship."
    
    (Anderson 2005a, p. 4)
  - social software is a very difficult concept to define.
  - A weblog
  - Social bookmarking tools can also support relations between people.
  - Finally, wikis can be catalogued as social software tools.
  - According to a social constructivist approach, learning is considered
    a social and active process (Vygotsky, 1978; Brown,
    Collins & Duguid, 1989; Jonassen, 2000).
    Problem-based activities describe a learning process in which students are
    directed at solving a problem. It is important to a social constructivist approach
    that a student tries to solve the problem him- or herself. In other words,
    students should direct their own problem-solving process.
  - This conception of a learning process means
    that it is not possible to structure or pre-determine the students' activities
    in a learning process – the activities must develop on the basis of the
    student's own problem-solving.
  - Surrounding the
    student are different tools and resources which support the student's problem-solving
    process.
  - However, self-governed and problem-based
    activities are not very well supported by LMS.
  - LMS are to a large extent developed
    for the management and delivery of learning – and not for self-governed
    activities of students.
  - Collaborative personal tools are owned and controlled by students working
    together in groups.
  - Personal tools are defined as tools owned and controlled by students. They
    are used by students for various kinds of construction and reflection; for
    instance, writing, presenting, drawing or programming. T
  - networks between people working collaboratively,
    networks between people sharing a context, and
    networks between people sharing a field of interest.
  - Use of personal tools combined with social networks form the basis of an individualization
    or personalization of the web (Downes, 2004b).
    On the basis of a personal page, a student can use social software to navigate
    the web to find resources
  - However, it would be extremely difficult
    for students to navigate the vast amount of resources.
  - and people that can help solve the problem.
  - Instead, it is important to support
    students' independent work and actively facilitate relations between collaborating
    students and also between students and teachers connected to the same course.

  - students get to control the content.
  - non-intrusive dialogue
  - Virtual meetings
  - News and updates
  - Quiz/informal assessment tools
  - Authentication
  - What I want is to be able to apply the OU authentication to any site I want, so if I create a wiki I simply tell the OU authentication system to include that url.
  - Convenience
  - However, I think there is also an increasing frustration at being limited to these tools,
  - Support
  - Reliability
  - If it is housed on an external system you have no control if it goes down.
  - Monitoring
  - Better quality tools
  - This means they stay up to date, have better features, and look better than most things produced in higher education.
  - Modern look and feel
  - Appropriate tools
  - Cost - using a bunch of free tools has got to be cheaper hasn't it?
  - Avoids software sedimentation
  - isintermediation happens
  - The walled garden of the VLE provides a "trusted brand" (as Grainne Conole discussed at OpenLearn2007) which is very attractive to students.
  - So long as the VLE is tied to broad enough range of collaborative tools, and so long as there is a sensible (ie not overly restrictive) permissions regime,

  - It did not award its own degrees, instead contracting with U.K. universities to offer theirs.

  - A fourth problem arose from platform investment.
  - too narrowly conceived
  - Between 2002 and 2004, UKeU spent millions developing a new platform.
  - It is an open question whether the vision or reality of the UKeU platform is in fact significantly and qualitatively different from the latest version of commercial and open source rivals.
  - Whether or not the UKeU platform is (or would have been) among the best in the world would be very difficult to demonstrate to potential students.
