6
CETIS Web 2.0 characteristics Language: Informal, Friendly, Humorous (?), Snappy Design: trendy, lots of space Technology: web standards, interoperability, desktop-like responsiveness Culture: openness, transparency, sharing, p2p - Chris Scott, Headscape

CETIS More Web 2.0 characteristics Personal/global Read/write Human-centric/Machine-enabled
8
CETIS Feeds & Podcasts: the basic APIs Feeds: syndicated (HTML) content Podcasts: syndicated audio
9
CETIS Web APIs: the programmable web Use HTTP protocol with XML content POST, GET, PUT, DELETE Mostly very simple Client-side: AJAX combining XML and JavaScript
10
CETIS Mashing: recombinant software Web service APIs enable features of different services to be combined in new ways Applies both to services in the enterprise and on the web

17
Learning & Teaching in a Web 2.0 world Discovering opportunities to learn and forming networks and communities Creating and sharing work Collect and remixing Collaborating Innovating and developing technique
18
CETIS Discovering opportunity: Going Global with Learning Networks Combining formal and informal learning episodes Using shared goals to forge a social identity Symmetry of experience in informal and formal discovery and action Global community of peers The Long Tail
19
CETIS
22
Learning networks In the future, will learners already be part of a learning network before joining a course? Will they have a pre-existing community of peers? Inversion - can institutions be facilitators of learning networks instead of purveyors of courses? –Tencompetence Publishing and sharing networks: FOAF (feeds for people), XFN, DOAP
23
CETIS Creating and Sharing Blogs Wikis Flickr: Photo sharing YouTube: Video sharing Feeds and podcasts Create for re-use
24
CETIS Creating and Sharing: Pedagogy Writing (and photographing, drawing, filming, recording…) Developing a professional identity Developing competence, confidence, and independence Going global for an audience - and feedback
25
CETIS Creating and Sharing: Motivation “I wrote a paragraph of text and there it was … You write all these pages for college and no one ever sees it, and you write for Wikipedia and the whole world sees it, instantly.” - Kathleen Walsh, recent graduate

Collecting and remixing Sharing playlists –RSS, Atom, OPML, XSPF… –identity, priority, shared understanding Collaborative collection and remixing –Flickr, del.icio.us, …
31
CETIS Collecting and Remixing: Pedagogy Constructivism –attenuating and labelling a subset of the knowledge environment; re-categorising a conception of the knowledge environment into a personal schema; synthesis (dialectic) Connectivism –Forming new connections and generating networks that extend the power of the individual; however, actionable knowledge (learning) resides in the network, not necessarily the individual

35
Collaboration Collaboration is at the heart of many pedagogic strategies –Collaborative knowledge construction –Group activity
36
CETIS Collaborative Knowledge Construction Wikis Collaborative bookmarking and remixing Conversation
37
CETIS
38
Coordination of Group Activity Who? –Teacher-designed activity –Learner self-organised activity Why? –Project-based learning –Collaborative research –Study and debating groups –Structured investigations
39
CETIS Coordinated group activity What? –Planning, scheduling and managing action –Collaborative writing (drawing, recording, filming) –Journaling –Conversation How? –BaseCamp, TaDaList, Google Calendar, 30Boxes, iCalendar … –Writely, wikis … –Blogger, LiveJournal, TypePad, Wordpress … –Skype, AIM, MSN…
40
CETIS Self-organisation Learners need to be able to organize themselves –And not just by popping off to myspace? Define their own groups –VLEs are too often asymmetric - what the student can do vs. what the teacher can do –VLEs are too closed - groups can only be within the organisation –VLE structures too often mirror administrative rather than educational divisions
41
CETIS networks and hierarchies
42
CETIS Innovation Trial and error with the perpetual beta Learning from mistakes - but being willing to make them! Owning the technology and developing technique
43
CETIS Technique Teachers and learners develop technique in the tools they use –Sometimes a choice of innovation is driven by the desire to acquire or develop technique Motivation for developing technique is greater for personally-owned technologies
44
CETIS The Challenges Some students and teachers are already using web 2.0 –Myspace, bebo, wikipedia… Web 2.0 emphasizes personal technology connected globally –Stepping outside the institution Managing risks –Privacy, image, reliability, legal & copyright
45
CETIS The Opportunities Provide a richer learning experience with more connections Empower teachers and students Enable agile, innovative use of technology Engage prospective students by reaching outside the walls - become part of the community before registration!
