Q1. Briefly describe your approach to evaluating your DL project. * What’s needed here is not a lot of detail or tables, just an outline of your overall methdology/design and/or the stage you feel you are at? The early aims of the DIAL project was to run small and defined mini projects within a wider DIAL project/programme. Therefore our approach was to evaluate each pilot project group individually at the beginning of their projects. This early localised evaluation helped to define the mini projects aims and objectives and improve the overall focus of the DIAL project. Five pilot DIAL projects were identified at the beginning of the project. Follow up evaluation meetings are planned for all the mini projects in May/June 2012. 
After much debate the two groups concluded:

· Where and how do you want to access information? Google for research, also uses facebook as its more efficient in getting notifications about events, its filtered, also email main tool · What equipment and skills do staff/students need to deliver the blended, social and mobile learning? Mobile phone is main contact, laptop more secondary use, eventhough layout of some websites is different on phones its still more practical and quicker, eg shortcut of webmail on phone is very convenient · What online digital resources would you like to use? Facebook and twitter but facebook is more effective as it has the latest and clear information. Also a ual phone app could be helpful run by each college to give regular updates, so its something more like artquest/facebook for information so this would mean better communication between students and colleges · Would you like to engage with tutors online and see online resources? Online tutorials regarding thesis would be more convenient · Do you feel connected: to other UAL colleges and individuals? No but would like to · Do you feel connected: to industry and professionals in your specialism? No only get email updates would like to be through facebook and an app 
As Michael Gove allows schools to write their own ICT and computer science curricula, here are some of the most interesting ideas you put forward during our Digital Literacy campaign... Via Anthony Beal 
What does competence look like in online reflective practice? An interesting source of data to draw upon in answering this question would be the learning contracts that my own PG Cert students agreed on in September, when they were introduced to the series of reflective online tasks they would be required to complete. Each group was asked to note down what learning outcomes they were hoping to achieve by completing a series of online reading and reflection tasks; i.e. what competence would look like. 
In What Are Digital Literacies? Let’s Ask the Students Cathy Davidson talks about asking her students in “This Is Your Brain on the Internet” and “Twenty-First Century Literacies” (two... Via David Bevington, Anthony Beal I understand that time and countless other responsibilities are often the hurdles for teachers to integrate more technology into their instruction, but that’s a topic for another time (Kathleen Morris has a great post about overcoming obstacles to tech integration.) What I’m wondering is whether we teachers know how to transfer our technological knowledge and use the Internet to actively seek answers to questions on our own. In other words, are we independent learners? (Article by Mr. Salsich. Jan 2nd, 2012)

In this paper we present an alternative view of Open Educational Resources (OERs). Rather than focusing on open media resources produced by expert practitioners for use by peers and learners, we examine the practice of learners as active agents, producing open media resources using the devices in their pockets: their mobile phones. In this study, students are the producers and operate simultaneously as legitimate members of the YouTube community and producers of educational content for future cohorts. Taking an Action Research approach we investigated how student’s engagement with open media resources related to their creativity. Using Kleiman’s framework of fives conceptual themes which emerged from academics experiences of creativity (constraint, process, product, transformation, fulfillment), we found that these themes revealed the opportunities designed into the assessed task and provided a useful lens with which to view students’ authentic creative experiences.

3 or 4 pledges to release content into the ALTO system at the UAL. A suggestion to pursue joint collaborative course development between different colleges at the UAL for an intro to drawing course (quite radical proposition that – especially for a collegiate outfit like the UAL!). 2 requests to talk to course teams about sharing and openess.The drop-in workshop discussion approach seems to work and we will develop it further – fits well with our ‘fieldworker’ philosophy as well. • Join us, Friday 10 February, to define and explore best practice in blended learning • Suggest new innovations in tech-enabled teaching... ![Everything Your Employees Need to Know About Social Media [INFOGRAPHIC] | Developing digital Literacies | Scoop.it](http://img.scoop.it/VyXHQRhMgwPxLi7ZCC0dAjl72eJkfbmt4t8yenImKBVaiQDB_Rd1H6kmuBWtceBJ)

The concept of blended learning has gone viral on the Internet and in classrooms. For those who aren’t familiar, blended learning is a method that takes traditional in-class teaching and interlaces it with an online element. The beautiful thing about blended learning is that it prepares students to be a digital citizen, which is a must-have skill in a society full of technology. One vital element to digital citizenship, and what is considered to be a 21st century skill, is the ability to communicate effectively. To be a great conversationalist, students must learn the ability to participate in deep, authentic discussions, and learning to do so online is just as important as face-to-face dialogue.
Over the past 18 months I've been having a series of discussions with Bill Johnston (a colleague of mine here at Strathclyde) around notions information and digital literacy and of what it means to be a digital university. #jiscdiglit
Sheila MacNeill Via Anthony Beal It’s about getting Library Services staff more aligned with where students are. Students tend to be good at social media but not necessarily at evaluating materials. They are aware of the limitations of Wikipedia, for example, but not much beyond that. We also want to see a greater democracy of access with staff getting students to develop those evaluating skills but not necessarily (or not only) in the context of a ‘session’. 
A big question is: How do we counter the fears that creative students or staff have when speaking, whether it is in front of an audience or in front of a camera? We want to create a comfortable and open environment where people feel comfortable sharing their ideas and thoughts.
Then there are all the skills you might need for taking video clips: How do you use Flip cameras or your smartphone to make videos? What video editing software is available and how do you use it? How and where do you upload video content? 
Teaching of computer studies in England's schools will be completely revamped from September, the education secretary is to announce.
One of the implicit goals of any instructional setting is to provide students with the opportunity to interact with the course content, the instructor, and other students. An advantage of the online learning environment is the increased potential for students (individually or in groups) to make personal meaning from course content. Via Nik Peachey 
Barriers that prevent effective collaboration between these departments include the hectic day-to-day pace at which district leaders work; a failure to recognize each department’s contributions to student success; a “silo” mentality in which each department focuses only on getting “its own” work done; and the absence of a common language for discussing effective research-based teaching and learning strategies and how appropriate technology tools can enable them.

Absolutely fascinating - Maria Popova from her blog Brainpickings brings us Cathy Davidson, founder of Duke University’s Center for Cognitive Neuroscience, who has written a thought provoking new book, Now You See It: How the Brain Science of Attention Will Transform the Way We Live, Work, and Learn — a meditation on how “attention blindness” the peculiar phenomenon illustrated by Harvard’s famous invisible gorilla experiment, (which is shown in one of the videos in this post) has produced one of our culture’s greatest disconnects, the inability to reconcile the remarkable changes induced by the digital age with the conventions of yesteryear’s schools and workplaces. "As long as we focus on the object we know, we will miss the new one we need to see. The process of unlearning in order to relearn demands a new concept of knowledge not as thing but as a process, not as a noun but as a verb.” ~ Cathy Davidson Selected by Jan Gordon covering "Exploring Change Through Ongoing Discussions" See full article and videos here: [http://bit.ly/u3Anrz] Via janlgordon
