Week 1: Sept 6 - Sept 12, 2010
Theme: What is/are Multiliteracies?
This week gathers the participants into a distributed learning network that overlaps with other similar networks. Several essential frameworks underpinning multiliteracies will be discussed, and these frameworks will be applied to models of how this course might function (more as a seminar in which knowledge is built through connecting and sharing, as opposed to a course in which the learning paths have been prescribed). Many tools which participants can use to foster connections with one another will be introduced. The materials and tools can be sampled and trialed as needed; there is no need to do everything suggested here. Participants are encouraged to keep blogs or wikis to record their progress through the course; discoveries and ways of sharing knowledge with one another through eportfolios will also be touched on.
Mark Pegrum has made us a short video introducing his book, to help us provide structure to our course in Jan 2010.

Patrick Murphy, who took the course in Sept/Oct 2010, suggests the introduction to "Educating the Net Generation" by Oblinger and Oblinger. http://www.educause.edu/EducatingtheNetGeneration/5989
He says "The introduction really blew my mind and addresses some of the issues of the relationship between technology and curriculum design I've been thinking about. "Thanks Patrick :-)

On Thursday, January 14, 2010, the Universidad San Martin de Porres organized, in its platform of SL (http://slurl.com/secondlife/Second%20USMP/203/241/30), a virtual conference with George Siemens (Athabasca University, Canada), proponent of the Theory of Connectivism and one of the world leaders in knowledge management, and open education. Multiliteracies participants were invited. More events throughout this session are listed at http://tinyurl.com/evomlit2010events. |
Bee (Barbara Dieu) has set out an excellent document on threading in mailing lists: http://edutechsig.wikispaces.com/mailinglist
She says: "The most important rule is the one-topic-per-message rule. If if there are two two things you want to talk about, send two separate messages to the list. This is because decent e-mail clients keep track of message threads, which is very convenient if you want to follow any particular discussion on a list. The list archives are also supposed to be viewable by thread, so don't break the threading. Start from a blank message when you start a new topic. Hit the Reply button on the old message if you reply to an old message."

Theme: Many clouds: A technological lens
This week introduces a discussion of how to see new technologies through technological lens or clouds. As teachers we must figure out what different technologies are good for and leverage that to our advantage. The focus will be on key concepts like tagging, RSS, folksonomies, and aggregation. We will introduce sample implementations using these concepts for language learning and explore techniques and tools for aggregation of content on the web. Participants will learn to tag and configure their blogs and other web artifacts associated with this course in such a way that their content can be aggregated by other participants here.
