Open Teaching
“Web 2.0 tools exist that might allow academics to reflect
and reimagine what they do as scholars. Such tools might
positively affect -- even transform - research, teaching, and
  service responsibilities - only if scholars choose to build
 serious academic lives online, presenting semi-public
 selves and becoming invested in and connected to the
            work of their peers and students.”
                   (Greenhow, Robelia, & Hughes, 2009)

Collaboration
“given enough eyeballs,
  all bugs are shallow”
    (Linusʼ Law, Raymond 1997)
“A key to transformation is for the
  teaching profession to establish
 innovation networks that capture
 the spirit and culture of hackers -
the passion, the can-do, collective
              sharing.”
           ~ Hargreaves, 2003

Academic Learning & Collaboration & Learning
Free/Open Content
  “describes any kind of creative work in a
  format that explicitly allows copying and
 modifying of its information by anyone, not
exclusively by a closed organization, firm, or
           individual.” (Wikipedia)
Academic Learning & Collaboration & Learning
Academic Learning & Collaboration & Learning
“...the power of the new software
 movement stems from the ʻgift cultureʼ....
The Internet is a quintessential example of
  a gift culture. People are willing to make
all sorts of useful information available for
   free, in defiance of orthodox economic
 ʻrulesʼ that claim such voluntary behavior
 can occur only with financial incentives.”
                  (Bollier, 1999)
early lessons
•   knowledge needs to be free.
•   relationships trump content.
•   transparency & openness are powerful
    conditions for knowledge building.
•   distributed, weak-tie communities can help
    to solve complex problems.
•   education can greatly benefit from the
    experiences of open (source) communities
    (i.e., networked communities of practice).

“Privacy is no longer

          “... the technical infrastructure for
          creating and sharing content has
          been simplified to the point where
                anyone with even limited
           technical skills can participate.”

   “Social spaces and the process of

      require some “forgivability”.”

                     •   “Ten years ago, not one student in
                         a hundred, nay, one in a thousand,
                         could have produced videos like
                         this. It’s a whole new skill, a vital
                         and important skill, and one
                         utterly necessary not simply from
                         the perspective of creating but

Informal Learning


                 •   “Informal learning is a
                     significant aspect of our
                     learning experience.
                     Formal education no
                     longer comprises the
                     majority of our learning.”

Network Literacies



                     •   “Understanding how
                         networks work is one of
                         the most important
                         literacies of the 21st
                         century.” (2010)

additional lessons
•   growing modes of access and the
    ability to publish & disseminate to wide
    audiences are key affordances.
•   (digital) citizenship & (digital) identity
    are emerging content areas that
    heavily implicate emerging
    pedagogies.
•   crowdsourcing & social curation of
    content will prove transformational for
    learning experiences.

What We Learned

•   Open access, low-cost, high impact.

•   Courses become shared, non-local, learning events.

•   Students immersed in a greater learning community.

•   Rethinking of space/interaction (walled gardens, open spaces)

•   Learning spaces controlled and/or owned by students.

•   Development of emerging literacies, relevant for other courses.

•   Pedagogy focused more on connecting & interactions; content
    important, but secondary.

•   Development of sustainable, long-term, learning connections.

On Sharing ...


       “itʼs about overcoming
       the inner 2 year old in
           you that screams
       mine, mine, itʼs mine.”
           (Wiley, TEDxNYED, 2010)

“My student was delighted by the attention her blog
   post had received; it gave her confidence in her
 writing and bolstered her enthusiasm for our class....
  We were no longer studying an important work of
20th century literature within the narrow context of my
       syllabus; instead we had become part of a
conversation that involved the broader reading public.
As a professor, I was displaced from the centre of the
 conversation, which became more open, distributed
      and student-driven than it had been before.”

Academic Learning & Collaboration & Learning

  • 1. Academic Collaboration & Learning in a Networked Age Dr. Alec Couros University of Regina July 2011
  • 3. me
  • 12. “Web 2.0 tools exist that might allow academics to reflect and reimagine what they do as scholars. Such tools might positively affect -- even transform - research, teaching, and service responsibilities - only if scholars choose to build serious academic lives online, presenting semi-public selves and becoming invested in and connected to the work of their peers and students.” (Greenhow, Robelia, & Hughes, 2009)
  • 15. knowledge • what is k? • how is k acquired? • how do we know what we know? • why do we know what we know? • what do humans know? • who controls k? • how is k controlled?
  • 16. human thought/ideas human language source code high-level language (e.g. C++, Java, PERL) low-level language (assembly language) code irretrievable machine code (binary)
  • 20. “given enough eyeballs, all bugs are shallow” (Linusʼ Law, Raymond 1997)
  • 21. “A key to transformation is for the teaching profession to establish innovation networks that capture the spirit and culture of hackers - the passion, the can-do, collective sharing.” ~ Hargreaves, 2003
  • 26. • philosophical stance • power & control open(ness) • access (short version) • design attributes - privacy/publics - transparency - accountability
  • 27. open(ness) (short version) open education free software open source software open educational resources open content open access publication open access courses open teaching open scholarship open accreditation
  • 28. • pedagogical & pragmatic stance • knowledge exchange, networked curation, wayfinding, crowdsourcing, learning collaboration, problem (short version) solving • facilitated through personal learning networks/environments (PLNs/PLEs)
  • 30. Free/Open Content “describes any kind of creative work in a format that explicitly allows copying and modifying of its information by anyone, not exclusively by a closed organization, firm, or individual.” (Wikipedia)
  • 33. “...the power of the new software movement stems from the ʻgift cultureʼ.... The Internet is a quintessential example of a gift culture. People are willing to make all sorts of useful information available for free, in defiance of orthodox economic ʻrulesʼ that claim such voluntary behavior can occur only with financial incentives.” (Bollier, 1999)
  • 34. early lessons • knowledge needs to be free. • relationships trump content. • transparency & openness are powerful conditions for knowledge building. • distributed, weak-tie communities can help to solve complex problems. • education can greatly benefit from the experiences of open (source) communities (i.e., networked communities of practice).
  • 38. media stats (2010) • 107 trillion emails (89% spam), from 1.04 billion users. • 255 million websites • 1.97 billion Internet users • 152 millions blogs • 600 million Facebook users (sharing 30 billion pieces of content per month) • 2 billion videos watched on Youtube daily • 5 billion photos hosted on Flickr Stats as of January 2011 via Royal Pingdom
  • 46. “Privacy is no longer possible ...”
  • 47. “Privacy is no longer possible ...” “... the technical infrastructure for creating and sharing content has been simplified to the point where anyone with even limited technical skills can participate.”
  • 48. “Privacy is no longer possible ...” “... the technical infrastructure for creating and sharing content has been simplified to the point where anyone with even limited technical skills can participate.” “Social spaces and the process of identity creation and growing up require some “forgivability”.”
  • 49. Text

  • 51. PRIVATE by DEFAULT PUBLIC with EFFORT
  • 52. PUBLIC by DEFAULT PRIVATE with EFFORT
  • 53. Best Job in the World
  • 54. On Digital Video • “Ten years ago, not one student in a hundred, nay, one in a thousand, could have produced videos like this. It’s a whole new skill, a vital and important skill, and one utterly necessary not simply from the perspective of creating but also of comprehending video Stephen Downes communication today.
  • 56. Changes Early Day of PC in Schools Todayʼs Social/Mobile Reality
  • 59. Informal Learning • “Informal learning is a significant aspect of our learning experience. Formal education no longer comprises the majority of our learning.” • George Siemens http://www.elearnspace.org/Articles/connectivism.htm
  • 60. Network Literacies • “Understanding how networks work is one of the most important literacies of the 21st century.” (2010) Howard Rheingold
  • 79. additional lessons • growing modes of access and the ability to publish & disseminate to wide audiences are key affordances. • (digital) citizenship & (digital) identity are emerging content areas that heavily implicate emerging pedagogies. • crowdsourcing & social curation of content will prove transformational for learning experiences.
  • 93. What We Learned • Open access, low-cost, high impact. • Courses become shared, non-local, learning events. • Students immersed in a greater learning community. • Rethinking of space/interaction (walled gardens, open spaces) • Learning spaces controlled and/or owned by students. • Development of emerging literacies, relevant for other courses. • Pedagogy focused more on connecting & interactions; content important, but secondary. • Development of sustainable, long-term, learning connections.
  • 95. Sharing http://www.flickr.com/photos/dolmansaxlil/4802611949/
  • 96. On Sharing ... “itʼs about overcoming the inner 2 year old in you that screams mine, mine, itʼs mine.” (Wiley, TEDxNYED, 2010)
  • 111. “My student was delighted by the attention her blog post had received; it gave her confidence in her writing and bolstered her enthusiasm for our class.... We were no longer studying an important work of 20th century literature within the narrow context of my syllabus; instead we had become part of a conversation that involved the broader reading public. As a professor, I was displaced from the centre of the conversation, which became more open, distributed and student-driven than it had been before.”
  • 113. Don’t limit a child to your own learning, for he was born in another time. ~Tagore http://couros.ca couros@gmail.com @courosa
