Developing Online Community

Michael Coghlan — Mon, 08 Oct 2007 14:51:33 GMT

This is a long one – 55 minutes. A presentation at the ESL Educators conference in Adelaide. The topic was Developing Online Community, with particular reference to the Webhead community, but it grazes over a number of related topics: • The appeal of online community • The nature of online relationships • Consequences of the ‘digital footprint’ Barbara (Bee) Dieu beamed in to contribute to the session from Sao Paulo. I suspect some (Stephen Downes?) may object to my interchangeable use of the terms ‘community’ and ‘networks’, but I didn’t want to get bogged down with definitions. It was a good session I think. Audio level of audience participants is a bit soft at times, but if you turn up the volume you can hear them. Accompanying slides at Slideshare

Random Comments on Philip Adams/James Farmer at education.au Seminar (Aug 4)

Michael Coghlan — Thu, 10 Aug 2006 13:11:20 GMT

A six minute reflection of the recent education.au seminar (http://www.educationau.edu.au/jahia/Jahia/whatschanged); Audio in full at http://feeds.feedburner.com/eduauweb2 So what's changed? Technology, expectations, connections and collaboration... Philip Adams: Long time media commentator in Australia on politics, media, divinity and spirituality, etc! Compere of ABC’s Late Night Live After beginning with a ritual shot at George Bush, “the silliest man to lead a country since Caligula”) Philip Adams urged us to teach in the new technology and use it to teach students how to protect themslelves from this self-same technology. Data ≠ info ≠ knowledge ≠ wisdom The new technology is both exhilarating and daunting, but beware technological determinism. James: technology does matter! Does the new publishing phemonenon give the ignorant undue influence? James: ‘Citizen journalism’ about as much value as ‘citizen dentistry’ Traditional media reps (like Adams) are ‘gate-keepers’; he is a gatekeeper in a mediated world; in the unmediated world the content is more biased, but full of infinite promise. “Every new technology breaks its promise.” Self-censorhip is the most insidious of all censorships (eg when there is fear of losing job) Censorship does not work – intelligence and a value/belief system works. Students need to be taught the difference between “fact and foolishness”. “We don’t send kids down the coalmines anymore; we send them into shopping malls as consumers.” – corporate paedophilia. Media bombardment is not healthy or therapautic. Cause of ADD? We must use the new technology to ‘vaccinate students’against the ‘toxic sludge’; it displays the best and worst (technology is amoral); we must build up their immune systems. James Farmer: Online Community Editor editor of the Age (Melbourne), and founder of edublogs.org - http://edublogs.org/ Prefers to engage people not software. Tech + education ≠ engagement + empowerment; principally because of the use of forum software (disengaging) Edublogs: 16,000 blogs in the first year Many roads lead to Rome

Will Blogger Last Forever?

Michael Coghlan — Fri, 14 Apr 2006 15:17:53 GMT

From a discussion on the TALO list (http://groups.google.com.au/group/teachAndLearnOnline/) Machine Bits: 1) Leigh Blackall Anyone else noticing how bloody slow Flickr and Del.icio.us is these days? Wouldn't be anything to do with those yahoos and their servers would it? Isn't this all our local IT guys need to say, "see, we told you so! You can't rely on Google and Yahoo, you should rely on me, Sam and our Microsoft servers instead!" 2) Peter Allen Actually this is an issue that needs addressing. If we build our "castles in the air" using web 2.0 resources - we have no control over the reliability or availability of those tools or teaching resources. If we use Ning to build some amazing mash-up that we want to use again and again. What do we do when Ning goes "bottom up"? - or flickr disappears or gets replaced by a version that requires payment? I like the idea of a distributing learning across a number of services available across the 'net - but it has its risks. - I think it also assumes a high level of competence from your students. Webhosting sites eg hostrocket give you the ability to build a site that can supply your students the essential stuff (Moodle, payment gateway, blogs, wikis ) and then you could link out to other services. but you would need to have a backup plan in case your external resources become unavailable. You could offer your students a range of choices on how a particular exercise in course might be done, this would perhaps allow you to cater for different learning styles , and, avoid a single-point-of-failure in your online./ blended course. 3) James Neill I think its equally fair to ask what happens when school Ding or institution Zing goes belly up - where do the resources end up then? I would also say that in my experience overall downtime for learning institution-managed resources is greater than for externally hosted content - a broad claim and obviously there's exceptions, but I know which basket I prefer to put my eggs in and that's not under lock & key by a single institution. By making sure learning content is robot-crawled, Google cache at least gives pretty good access to text/image pages even when the host server is down.

Using Text to Audio Files (and incidentally, the Use of Computer Labs

Michael Coghlan — Thu, 19 Jan 2006 13:36:13 GMT

Text of converted of text file: Use of Computer Labs Computer labs were born in the days when people studied computing. That’s why you went to the computer room – to study computing. It was a separate subject. Nowadays people study CALL, or computer assisted accounting, or computer assisted aged care. The predominant use of computers in schools and colleges these days is to use the computer as an aid in studying your area of focus. Your area of focus is not computing. But still we build computer suites as separate entities. What is far more logical, and manageable for the average teacher, is to have a few Internet enabled PCs in every classroom. In much the same way as well resourced schools and colleges have a TV and VCR in every room, there need to be Internet enabled PCs in every room to allow the easy flow from teacher input to computer based investigation and collaboration. Computers should not be located in a separate physical space away from the classroom. They are an essential tool – as essential as pens, paper and whiteboards – and should be available for use by students who have the skills and curiosity to use as part of standard lesson activity. In this model it is not the teachers’ responsibility to have to implement CALL or IALL approaches per se, but computers and Internet are there for those who wish to use them. As long as we have computer rooms as separate physical spaces we’re passing on an implicit message that this activity is not mainstream. And if 12 hours tuition a week is in a classroom, and 3 in a computer room we are marginalising the computer activity. Computers need to be in all classrooms in all lessons. This would go a long way to mainstreaming teaching with technology. (M.Coghlan, Oct 05)
