EdX has released source code to the general public that supports interactive learning built specifically for the Internet. ... " EdX has released source code to the general public that supports interactive learning built specifically for the Internet. The nonprofit online learning platform founded by Harvard University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) has released XBlock SDK, the underlying architecture supporting EdX course content. XBlocks are a prototype second-generation application programming interface for hierarchically combined EdX courseware components such as video players and learning sequences. The XBlock source code allows course developers to combine independent XBlocks to create engaging online courses such as wiki-based collaborative learning environments and online laboratories, or create integrated education tools such as a circuit simulator for an electronics course or a molecular manipulator for teaching biology. Furthering its mission to be a true open-sourced learning platform, edX has invited the public to participate in the development of its interactive courseware for the massive open online course (MOOCs) platform by releasing the source code under the Affero GPL open source license. By collaborating with others during the prototype stage, edX hopes to develop the XBlock into an industry standard. EdX also plans to enlist the input of independent developers in extending the functionality of XBlock in future open source initiatives. The XBlock source code is available now for download at github.com/edX/XBlock." ...

The MOOC, Education Technology & Media,etmooc, is used here as a working example of how to develop a PLN. “My Personal Learning Network is the key to keeping me up-to-date with all the changes that are happening in education and how technology can best support and engage today’s students.” Brian Metcalfe: teacher, blogger at lifelonglearners.com Delete the scoop?

Walk into an English teacher’s classroom, and you might be able to guess how long they’ve been there. Take a look at the classroom library. It takes time to collect hundreds of books for your kids to read, and veteran teachers have worked for years to amass those giant collections. Luckily, modern technology gives us an alternative: extend your classroom library with free eBooks. There are literally thousands of free eBooks available for your students to read, and with free apps your students can turn their smartphones or tablets into eReaders. The biggest logistical problem is turning that vast digital catalog into something more personal. You need to use a tool to collect a small number of books that you think your students will be interested in, and then put those books in front of them. Today, we’ll look at three methods for creating and sharing a digital classroom library with your students. In all three cases, I’m going to assume that you have a source of free eBooks (Amazon’s Free Popular Classics, Google’s Play Store Top Free Books, or Project Gutenberg) and an app to read those books (Amazon’s Kindle app, Google’s Play Books app, Aldiko for Android, or iBooks for iOS).

da wir für diesen Open Online Course keine zentrale Lernplattform mit Diskussionsforen u.ä. bereit stellen, fragst Du Dich vielleicht, wo Du eigentlich Deine Fragen, Diskussionsbeiträge, Lernergebnisse usw. veröffentlichen sollst. Ganz einfach – aber vielleicht auch ganz neu für Dich: öffentlich im Social Web – überall dort, wo Du selbst bereits aktiv bist oder es jetzt im Zuge des MOOC werden möchtest. Wenn Du Dir in den nächsten Tagen Gedanken über die Sozialen Medien bzw. Sozialen Netzwerke machst, in denen Du zukünftig eigene Inhalte veröffentlichen möchtest und mit anderen teilen möchtest, dann tust Du etwas sehr zukunfstweisendes: Der Aufbau einer persönlichen Lernumgebung (PLE) bzw. eines persönlichen Lernnetzwerkes (PLN) zählt laut Hamburger Lehrerfortbildnerin Lisa Rosa zu den wichtigsten Kompetenzen, die zukünftig bis zum Schulabschluss erlernt werden müssen, um in der modernen Wissensgesellschaft lebenslang lernfähig zu sein.

Learning networks are based on the theory of connectivism, or learning from diverse social webs. Connectivism implies that learning relies on communicating ideas with others. PLNs facilitate learning through meaningful interactions. The advantages of PLNs today are two-fold. In one way, they can improve classroom teaching and help develop new projects. On the other hand, they act as a form of communal intelligence that changes societal perceptions. What are some ways to grow your PLN and improve the quality of your interactions? As you will see, there are diverse ways to build your network and many new management tools. Here are some simple tips: Via Jay Cross

As social media become more and more predominant as platforms of connection and collaboration, the need for creating and maintaining a PLN ( Personal/Professional Learning Network ) becomes more pressing. As teachers and educators we are expected to be on top of the latest trends that can inform and enhance our classroom teaching as well as our professional growth.We are also expected to know the web tools that our students use and the new ones we can use with them in the future; but this is not always possible and because not all of our time constraints it becomes difficult to keep up the the new releases . It is at times like these that you can call upon your PLN. Via Kim Flintoff Delete the scoop?
