An Online Training Course to Learn How to Teach Online

By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. An Online Training Course to Learn How to Teach Online
Sylviane Bachy, Marcel Lebrun, Canadian Journal of Learning and Technology, 2016/01/04

I'm not really a fan of this sort of case study, but I found myself liking this paper in spite of myself. It's a description of a methodology employed over two offerings of a course that teaches people how to learn online. More...

Faux Van Gogh and Pinot Grigio: The Rise of Paint-and-Sip Studios

By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. Faux Van Gogh and Pinot Grigio: The Rise of Paint-and-Sip Studios
Stephanie Russell-Kraft, Jezebel, 2016/01/01

I don't know whether this will ever become a theme in these pages, but it seems to me there is a big difference between living one's life actively and living it passively. And by living actively, what I mean is living by doing things - building stuff, making stuff, drawing stuff, writing stuff, programming stuff, whatever. More...

The Downes Prize 2015

By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. The Downes Prize 2015
Stephen Downes, Dec 31, 2015.

Every year at this time I award the Downes Prize to the most-read post of those I've posted some time in the previous 365 days. This year that means any one of 1147 total posts from hundreds of authors around the world. The award is intended to be an objective measure, not based on popularity contests, campaigns, or any other such thing, but reflective of actual interest in the item on the part of OLDaily readers.

Amara

By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. Amara
Amara, 2015/12/30

I recently uploaded a new video of my panel presentation on agile learning design at OEB (the sound on the first was gibbled, but this came out much better). Not long after I got an email from a friend saying volunteers had completed a set of subtitles for the talk. The site they used was Amara. More...

A South African perspective on what makes a great teacher

By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. A South African perspective on what makes a great teacher
Kathy McKnight, Pearson, 2015/12/30

There's plenty of evidence that the main premise of this article - "no factor is more important to education standards than the quality of the teacher" - is false. More...

Improving Instruction in a Digital World

By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. Improving Instruction in a Digital World
Eric Sheninger, A Principal's Reflections, 2015/12/30

When I first saw the diagram I thought it was about the use of open educational resources (OERs). Then I thought it was about Bloom's taxonomy. In the end, it's a little of both, as it outlines a framework (specifically, the Rigor and Relevance Framework) for learning and learning technology. More...

Cycling in Berlin. (Theory vs. Reality)

By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. Cycling in Berlin. (Theory vs. Reality)
Claudia Brückner, Vimeo, 2015/12/30

I have an interest in cycling, but that's not why I'm posting this item here. The filmmaker Claudia Brückner writes in the credits, " I learned a lot from the amazing online DIY & indie-filmmaker scene - and its hero Casey Neistat - that influenced and inspired the style of making this video.".

6 Harsh Truths That Will Make You a Better Person

By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. 6 Harsh Truths That Will Make You a Better Person
David Wong, Cracked.com, 2015/12/30

This was written a few years ago, but it's making the end-of-year rounds again, and I think it should be shared (note, though: language warning - it's on Cracked.com after all). The harsh truths are all to the effect that the world is not a nice place. More...

MOOCs and crowdsourcing: Massive courses and massive resources

By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. MOOCs and crowdsourcing: Massive courses and massive resources
John Prpić, James Melton, Araz Taeihagh, Terry Anderson, First Monday, 2015/12/29

This paper draws an interesting parallel between two types of massive phenomena: MOOCs, and crowdsourcing. The former are online courses designed to enable access to learning to large numbers of people at once, while the latter takes advantage of the contributions of many people to support a single objective, such as the creation of an online encyclopedia.
