Trading routes, bypasses, and risky intersections

Trading routes, bypasses, and risky intersections
Gernot Grabher, University of Bonn, May 11, 2014

I found a lot of good stuff in this paper, which I found while looking for a combination of Harrison White and Actor Network Theory. Part I.1 has a nice summary of the history of the distinction between groups and networks. Part II.1 talks about network governance and II.5 talks about informal networks. Part II.1 takes what I consider to be the key network 'turn', from network content to network structure. More...

“Would you ever say that to me in class?” : Exploring the Implications of Disinhibition for Relationality in Online Teaching

“Would you ever say that to me in class?” : Exploring the Implications of Disinhibition for Relationality in Online Teaching and Learning
Ellen Rose, Proceedings of the 9th International Conference on Networked Learning 2014, May 11, 2014

This paper confirms the impression that discourse online is much less inhibited than discourse in person. "Interviews with 20 instructors and 20 students from a variety of disciplines revealed that their experiences of connection with, or disconnection from, each other were profoundly influenced by the phenomenon of online disinhibition." What is important about this is that it informs our understanding of the nature of education, whether online or offline. More...

Mini-Lectures Using Learning Objects: Bosch's The Haywain (1516)

Mini-Lectures Using Learning Objects: Bosch's The Haywain (1516)
Susan Smith Nash, E-Learning Queen, May 9, 2014
Janet Clarey comments, "I love this for its simplicity." It is a set of mini-lessons offered by Susan Smith Nash, each one small and self-contained, using learning objects the way (I think) they were intended to be used. More...

Contemporary Privacy Theory Contributions to Learning Analytics

Contemporary Privacy Theory Contributions to Learning Analytics
Jennifer Heath, Journal of Learning Analytics, May 9, 2014

According to the abstract, "This paper provides an overview of privacy and considers the potential contribution contemporary privacy theories can make to learning analytics." I personally consider privacy one of the key issues in learning analytics; anyone can mine a big set of data, but how do you do what when you need permission from each person before continuing? I like the 'broad overview of privacy' diagram and the nuance offered, for example, from Nissenbaum: "a right to privacy is neither a right to secrecy nor a right to control but a right to appropriate flow of personal information." Some of the issues are highlighted in two scenarios illustrating four key parameters of privacy: context, actors, attributes and transmission principle. More...

Mesh Networks of People

Mesh Networks of People
Alan Levine, CogDogBlog, May 9, 2014

I think that the more you get out and talk with people the more you find these deep mesh networks of people around domains, ideas, disciplines and hobbies. As Alan Levine says, "connections I make, not just PLNing or linking online, just by talking and listening… are gold." What's also interesting - I was just at a meeting this morning where I experienced the same sort of thing - is that these networks recede off into the distance; you can get a grasp of some of those around you, you can see them stretch off into the horizon, but the totality of them all is something you can only partially grasp, and you could spend your life exploring.

Conceptual Connections, once again

Conceptual Connections, once again
Matthias Melcher, x28’s new Blog, May 9, 2014

Concepts can form networks, says Matthias Melcher. "Words can change each other’s subtle nuances, for example when a newer word gradually displaces an older one from a certain meaning, while the older word slowly shifts its connotations, just by being used differently." I don't inherently disagree with this. I was pretty careful in my statement to allow for non-causal changes of state: "can cause or result in..." - and the purpose was precisely allow that networks could be formed by non-physical entities.

More on Connectivism: a response to Stephen Downes

More on Connectivism: a response to Stephen Downes
Jon Dron, Athabasca Landing, May 8, 2014

Jon Dron has replied to my earlier response to him. There may be some good in it, but it is buried in layers of rudeness, pedantry and continued misunderstanding of my work. I don't have to respond to claims that my work is "more of a specious attempt at sophistry than a serious attempt to further understanding," especially from the same person who commented he only "skimmed" my work, rather than reading it.

Economics students call for shakeup of the way their subject is taught

Economics students call for shakeup of the way their subject is taught
Phillip Inman, The Guardian, May 8, 2014
The students, I think, understand more than their professors. Economics students are saying that "the dominance of narrow free-market theories at top universities harms the world's ability to confront challenges such as financial stability and climate change" and are calling for a change in how economics is taught.

Why Design a xMOOC / cMOOC Hybrid? LTCA Theory

Why Design a xMOOC / cMOOC Hybrid? LTCA Theory
Matt Crosslin, EduGeek Journal, May 8, 2014
Matt Crosslin follows up an earlier post with an explanation of why he thinks it would be a good idea to build a cMOOC/xMOOC hybrid. He writes, "the idea of MOOC layers is really looking at a four pronged approach to the idea of teaching and learning as communicative actions using LTCA theory." This theory, he writes, is being created by Scott Warren at North Texas, based Jurgen Habermas, and breaks learning down in to four majopr activities, some of which are subsumed by xMOOCs and some by cMOOCs.
