Week 3 - Forget the learners, how do I measure a MOOC quality experience for ME! By Dave Cormier

Week 3 - Forget the learners, how do I measure a MOOC quality experience for ME! By Dave Cormier | SteveB's Social Learning Scoop | Scoop.it

Given the excellent review of the design of MOOCs presented by Stephen Downes in week 2, I’d like to take a look at quality from the other side. In an attempt at starting a discussion on the motives of different vested interests and their relationship to MOOCs I’ve tried to outline from my own experience, what different interest groups are at play. These should not be seen in anyway as reflective of the ‘content’ or ‘delivery model’ of those MOOCs but rather how each different group might see success. I believe that one of the true innovations of MOOCs is that it changes the reason you might start a course in the first place

The Ultimate Education Reform: Messy Learning & Problem Solving

The Ultimate Education Reform: Messy Learning & Problem Solving | SteveB's Social Learning Scoop | Scoop.it

By Tim Holt

 

"Problems like the ones I’ve mentioned above are called “messy problem” by some educators and “ill-structured problems” by others. Messy problems have no single, certifiably correct answer. There is no “one right way” to solve a problem like “should I get married” or “what should I study in college?” The answer is the goal, but the answer can manifest itself in many correct ways and lead to a lot of unexpected learning along the way. Ambiguity envelopes us. It begins at birth and follows us through to the last days of our lives. Start to finish, life is messy.

 

"I love ill-structured problems. When offered in a classroom setting, they present students with real life situations and devilish dilemmas. Problem based learning, a methodology begun in the late 1960’s in medical schools in Canada (and expanded into K12 education in the late 1980’s and early 1990’s) was developed after medical experts in teaching hospitals could not understand why otherwise excellent interns froze up when real life humans were placed in front of them with real life problems (there might even be panic and bleeding).

 

"After long investigation, if became clear to instructors that while the students were “book smart” and could recite page after page of diagnostic information from memory, most patients did not present their symptoms in a way that matched the book: “You know Doc, my elbow hurts just like the description on page 354 of the Jensen Ortho text,” said no patient ever.

 

"We need to move away from the pedagogy of the single answer and move towards teaching the messy problems of Problem Based Learning. This is different than Project Based Learning (as I wrote about here), where the end goal is already known (and thus a single correct answer is reached in many cases). Life does not work so much like a project; human development is pretty much Problem Based Learning. The best outcome or solution is usually not known when the problem is presented. Sometimes it is, but not often."

Curators Are The True Influencers

Curators Are The True Influencers | SteveB's Social Learning Scoop | Scoop.it
Mariana Soffer's curator insight, May 22, 9:54 AM

 

Here's an inspiring short article by Elia Morling on the role of curators in storytelling.

 

Elia reports of a discussion he has had with netnographerOlga Kravets, in which she suggested that: "...curators serve their tribe like dumpster divers. 

They dive into containers to rummage through heaps of garbage to find useful stuff that can be re-purposed. When they are done they bring forth their scavenged gifts to their tribe."

 

But here, is the most compelling part as Elia really seems to have distilled and illustrated here the three key and most valuable traits of a modern content curator:

 

a) Curators represent a new type of tribal leadership that operates bottom-up and peer to peer. 

b) As a member of a tribe, curators will always be more native and relevant than any outsiders will ever be.


c) Within a tribe they are not only appreciated for leveraging their insider skills, but for sustaining and developing their culture."

 

 

Definitely worth reading. Inspiring. 8/10

The Dewey scoopit site will be doing much more on the topic of content curation, one of a growing number of communication technologies and creative scenes in 2013.

The Euro American Masonic Open Forum will also engage theory and praxis in communication, learning and democratic association.

Extrait (traduction libre) :

 

"En faisant de la "curation" avec Scoop.it, les élèves utilisent les compétences de pensée critique pour collecter, évaluer et analyser le contenu, ils peuvent identifier les tendances du discours, ils développent des compétences d'écriture dans l'expression originale, et ils interagissent, communiquent et publient à un public mondial. Mais peut-être plus important encore, les élèves pratiquent la citoyenneté numérique et la responsabilité personnelle à l'apprentissage continu."

Everybody needs to find the needle but the digital haystack grows so fast that only things like Scoop can help us to keep up with the information overload.
