“need for further research on the ethical
implications of pedagogical
experimentation…the role of the MOOC
convener”

Technology has outpaced our ethical
thinking. We need to re-establish
ethical common ground.
15. Back to digital stories!
#DS106 and similar can build digital literacy
and confidence online. I can learn
flexibly how and when I want.
It has been challenging learning new technology.
It has stretched my thinking.
I have sometimes felt an outsider.
I get more professional
contacts through my blog
than I do my work website.
Since 2013 my blog has
improved my writing
and confidence in my writing!
In my two previous applications
for funding, I’ve had to
include a promotional video!
DS106 enabled me to do this.
I’ve developed an
interest in photography.
Particularly trees.
I’ve made Radio Shows.
I built the ‘National Teaching Fellow’
blog which now reaches around
the world.
My open education project blogs
and YouTube channel have
exceeded a million views.
Probably the most significant thing I’ve done for my own professional development in recent years.
Probably the most significant thing I’ve done for my own professional development in recent years.

Not just our visual identity – but the way we present ourselves to others.
What are some of the tensions? What literacies do we need? What infrastructure at our institutions?
Open often means boundaryless. What is at the fringes? What are we creating? Are we secure? Are we ethical?
