TRANSCRIPT

Presenter: Robert Flavell

Workshop: A3 and B2

Topic: eLearning 2.0 Tools and Techniques

Where are we going?

• Web 2.0 – the “read-write” web• eLearning 2.0• Connectivism• An example - folksonomy• A collection of tools and techniques

Web 2.0• A set of tools to aggregate and remix (and

repurposed) microcontent – or “distributed data”• Creating rather than transmission and

consumption• Read-Write Web – Web 2.0 (Two Point Oh)

– Rollyo, writely, wayfaring, youtube, Google maps API: bikely

– Social networking: linkedin, flickr, del.icio.us– blogs, wikis - great example of idea mash-

ups

eLearning 2.0

Stephen Downes – eLearning 2.0• Less prescriptive – from institution to individual• Combination of discreet, but complimentary tools• Ad-hoc learning communities • Extends beyond classes, schools, and borders

(eg: blogs, wikis, podcasts, etc.)

MY BLOG

YouTube for video

Google Maps – Geo-positioning

RSS

George Siemens - Connectivism• The pipe is more important than the content within the

pipe• Learning is no longer an internal, individualistic activity• Know-how and know-what is being supplemented with

know-where • Decision making – what/when to learn• Connections between fields/ideas (sometimes

disparate, fosters innovation)

An example: Folksonomy

• Internet-based information retrieval methodology – collaboratively generated

• Tags – used for categorizing web sites (del.icio,us), photos (flickr), emails (Gmail) and anything else…

• Public – see who has tagged with the same term – a connection
