When I teach media classes I make it a point to complete the same assignments I give me students, so I am creating along side of them. Thus, since I launched this topic, I feel like I should share my own playlist.
In the post above @paulstacey shared a fabulous playlist of 10 sessions he attended, including an annotation for each. Paul gets an A.
I’m going to take an alternative approach, and make a playlist of five sessions I did not get to see, but from their descriptions and materials here, I hope go watch or follow. If you did attend any of these, I’d love to hear what your thoughts were about these sessions.
Alan’s “Go Back and” Playlist
I love the idea of students being actively involved as advocates of open education and am curious to learn more about what they are working on at Nelson Mandela University and how they communicate their interest in open education to other students.
Given that one my own new projects at OE Global is to produce the OEG Voices podcast series highlighting the work of open educators, I wanted to learn more about how Chalk Radio was working and what kinds of formats they were using.
A while back I was investigating the kinds of technologies that could offer a localized kind of internet experience in places where there might not be access, also to explore the concept of an ephemeral network (I was using the PirateBox in a format I called a StoryBox). I have looked at other approaches like KoboToolBox. So I am interested in learning how the WikiFundi project is able to provide wiki editing/creating activities in local networks where internet access is not available. These kinds of tools that can provide networked activities on low cost, portable platforms are of interest to me. What other ones are out there?
I am a proponent of fun in learning, not necessarily silly fun, and maybe “joy” is a better word. But I would like to know the research perspective on fun as described for this session. I hope the presentation is fun!
I missed Teemu’s keynote (and for that matter all of the Deflt timezone sessions because it was middle of the night here), but enjoyed meeting him at one of the presenter drop in sessions. I definitely want to learn more about MyData Global;s approaches for teaching people about managing their own data.
Those are five I missed that I want to come back to.
What’s in your playlist?
