Goal: To develop our skills in efficiently collecting, sorting and organizing a range of stimulus media on to easily accessible “boards” for students on a specific topic.

In this presentation we will look at a number of popular applications currently available to do this job, consider the functionality that these provide and challenge our thinking around what additional learning opportunities and benefits exist in utilizing these tools. We will then begin to explore how we can use Learni.st with those who wish to learn this option.

Key Messages:

- Process is the same regardless of application.

- These solutions provide more than a substitution for textbooks but a range of additional learning opportunities.

There are different competing benefits and challenges with each application. Some Key ones to consider…

Key ConsiderationsFeatures to consider

Some applications are easy to set up, others… not so.

Complexity

Often this comes as a trade-off as more complex applications may offer broader solutions.

In addition to complexity to set up, the ease and time required to

manage and refine content over the unit and school year should be taken into consideration.

MaintenanceSimilar to Maintenance the ease and time required to add

new content both during the unit and when on the fly during the year needs to be considered.

Bookmark

Some applications allow students to suggest or even add content.

Student Input

This process can assist the collaborative construction of knowledge.

Some applications allow for easy posting of comments.

This could be used to assess understanding and promote deeper learning.

CommentsSome applications are more mobile user friendly than others.

Consider this for adding content and for the readers/users.

Collective curation involves the collection of content and resources that represent the major or definitive views of the collective around a concept or an idea. Curation recognises that there are diverse opinions, ideas and approaches within the collective, and capturing and articulating these diverse views is crucial in representing the complete knowledge of the collective.

Curation

Synthesis involves blending of all arguments, considerations and points of views in order to clearly articulate an idea or concept Synthesis represents the collective understanding around a topic, not the author’s point of view.

Synthesis

Collective Meaning Making is process by which a collective constructs new knowledge. Through shared negotiation, reflection and clarification, knowledge is first introduced and then accepted, often leading to new opportunities or areas of inquiry. Through experiences and reflection built upon previous agreements and shared understanding, new knowledge is integrated into the collective knowledge. This may be knowledge that gives a deeper understanding, knowledge that widens the implications or knowledge that identifies new implications previously not considered..
