Networked Proximity - Full PDF

By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. Networked Proximity - Full PDF
Ulises Ali Mejias has posted the final draft of his dissertation, a long PDF that will make good airplane reading. From unauspicious beginnings he makes a somewhat audacious claim - "the network imposes a nodocentric filter on the social, and only elements that can be mapped onto the network (the nodes) are rendered as real. This model is then used to institute a paradigm of progress and development in which those elements outside the network can acquire value only by becoming part of the network. The social becomes subordinate to the economics of the network, and the network becomes a model of subjectivation that prepares individuals for entrance into this form of sociality." Certainly this is something I would want to assess before accepting. More...

Big Question - PowerPoint

By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. Big Question - PowerPoint
Having produced something more than a hundred PowerPoint presentations, I suppose I owe some accounting, given that the most common word on PowerPoint slides is that presentations using them are somewhere between torture and death. Would I, knowing this, now abandon them? Not a chance - I'm already hard at work on the next presentation for my talk in London. Speaking of which - they're calling my flight. More...

Moodle Announces Moodle Workplace: The best of Moodle, fine-tuned for organisational learning

By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. Moodle Announces Moodle Workplace: The best of Moodle, fine-tuned for organisational learning
Moodle, 2019/02/28
Reflective of a slow trend in educational technology, Moodle has announced a move to corporate learning support with Moodle Workplace. The explanation is, "our community of users and our Moodle Partners have been needing new features specific to learning and development in the workplace." But more telling is the response to the question, "Is Moodle Workplace open source?" It is this: "Moodle Workplace is not being distributed in the same way as Moodle core. For now, Moodle Workplace is only available via selected Moodle Partners, so that we can ensure a high quality experience with Moodle Workplace". More...

Understanding Participant's Behaviour in Massively Open Online Courses

By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. Understanding Participant's Behaviour in Massively Open Online Courses
Bruno Poellhuber, Normand Roy, Ibthihel Bouchoucha, International Review of Research in Open and Distributed Learning, 2019/02/28
This article is a useful correction to the caterwauling about MOOC drop-out rates in the early days of the research. The authors identify five major categories of MOOC users, each of which has a different set of objectives and behaviours in the course: browsers, self-assessors, serious readers, active-independent, active-social. There's also a category called 'ghosts' (or, in the abstract, 'ghots', which I think is actually a better word). According to the authors, "we need to rethink the names and definitions used in MOOC research". More...

ALEKS from McGraw-Hill: Web-Based, CCSS-Aligned, AI-Driven 6-12 Math Curriculum

By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. ALEKS from McGraw-Hill: Web-Based, CCSS-Aligned, AI-Driven 6-12 Math Curriculum
Michael Karlin, The Ed Tech Round Up, 2019/02/28
This is a glowing review of ALEKS (Assessment and LEarning in Knowledge Spaces) from McGraw-Hill Education. The idea is that "it is designed to provide instruction and guidance at whatever level a student may need." Of course it is not intended to replace the teacher (yet) and the reviewer takes pains to say this. On the other hand, "the AI is built on information gained from free responses and not multiple choice questions, so it is able to capture more of the subtlety and specifics of exactly what students know." It felt a bit like a softball review but Michael Karlin asserts "the opinions expressed in this review are my own". More...

The PERLA Framework: Blending Personalization and Learning Analytics

By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. The PERLA Framework: Blending Personalization and Learning Analytics
Mohamed Amine Chatti, Arham Muslim, International Review of Research in Open and Distributed Learning, 2019/02/28
From the abstract: "This paper discusses the Personalization and Learning Analytics (PERLA) framework which represents the convergence of personalization and learning analytics and provides a theoretical foundation for effective analytics-enhanced personalized learning." It's important to not that the authors distinguish personalization from adaptation (or adaptive learning systems). "Personalization is learner-driven; the system only helps learners decide what to do next." Anyhow, the framework is based on a cycle alternating execution and evaluation (described by feed-forward and feedback indicators respectively). More...

Horizon Report Preview 2019

By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. Horizon Report Preview 2019
EDUCAUSE, 2019/02/28
This report (11 page PDF) carries on Horizon's long-standing tradition of predicting things that have already happened. Need proof? For the short term, Horizon is predicting mobile learning and analytics. Medium term sees mixed reality and artificial intelligence. And get ready, because in 4-5 years we'll see blockchain and virtual assistants (that will be a surprise to anyone who bought a Google Home with Bitcoin). It's not that these predictions are unhelpful, they're also too vague to be useful. Consider 'blockchain'. They write "the legacy of blockchain might be what the technology inspired rather than the broad adoption of blockchain technology itself." Well - yeah. But what will be the technology inspired by blockchain? I've taken my own stab at that question. More...
