IT is out of the institution
![Page 7: Learning content with commodity tools](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061307/5a6e27fa7f8b9a90468b52e7/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)

Institutional IT
• You used to need an institution for...
• Access to computers
• Access to elearning resources
• Access to the internet
![Page 9: Learning content with commodity tools](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061307/5a6e27fa7f8b9a90468b52e7/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Now, you have all of this at home

The institutional VLE
• Has it roots in an era when institutions enjoyed a monopoly on computing
• Is an “enterprise” service
• May not even be accessible from “off-site”
![Page 12: Learning content with commodity tools](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061307/5a6e27fa7f8b9a90468b52e7/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
An enterprise service
• Andrew McAfee of HBS
• Enterprise, Functional, and Network IT
• Enterprise IT consists of “applications that define entire business processes”
• This is the traditional management view of elearning
![Page 13: Learning content with commodity tools](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061307/5a6e27fa7f8b9a90468b52e7/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Is elearning EIT?
• In most cases
• For most practitioners
• For most learners
• In most institutions
• It most certainly is not

And it never was
![Page 15: Learning content with commodity tools](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061307/5a6e27fa7f8b9a90468b52e7/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Learning design is not a business process
![Page 16: Learning content with commodity tools](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061307/5a6e27fa7f8b9a90468b52e7/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Teaching and learning is not a business process
![Page 17: Learning content with commodity tools](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061307/5a6e27fa7f8b9a90468b52e7/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Software Tools

![Page 25: Learning content with commodity tools](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061307/5a6e27fa7f8b9a90468b52e7/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Tools and Web 2.0
• Easy to create compelling learning content

![Page 26: Learning content with commodity tools](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061307/5a6e27fa7f8b9a90468b52e7/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
We have issues
![Page 27: Learning content with commodity tools](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061307/5a6e27fa7f8b9a90468b52e7/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Because we have issues
• Shiny-shiny
• Policy
• Business: assessment, quality assurance
• Regulation: IPR, plagiarism, “cyber-bullying”
• Social: Under-age learners
![Page 28: Learning content with commodity tools](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061307/5a6e27fa7f8b9a90468b52e7/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
The social stack
Personal tools
Group collaboration
Blogs and networks
Social signals
Feeds and flows
Organise your stuff, by tags, in a personal portal, with desktop tools (example: a desktop
blog editor, an RSS reader, an iCal client). A PLE.
Knowledge: groups/teams integrate knowledge in wikis and similar group systems. Even VLEs!
Some items shared within a personal network and discussed. Attention becomes interest.
Attention: store, share, tag and classify items of interest, links, resources.
Internal and external RSS feeds - persisted searches, sites of interest, people of interest,
from a VLE or repository.

For one day only!
• Tools and techniques
• Learning designs
• Pedagogic models
• Captive academics HOT!

The policy bit
• Business: assessment, quality assurance
• Regulation: IPR, plagiarism, “cyber-bullying”
• Social: Under-age learners
• Standards and specifications:
• Coupling and interoperability
• Data portability and ownership

A reason not to?
![Page 32: Learning content with commodity tools](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061307/5a6e27fa7f8b9a90468b52e7/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Never say never
• The “war on plagiarism” is a battle lost
• Learners are using computers and social tools in their lives now
• They will use them at work in years to come
• They will not use them in ways we approve of if we don’t get involved

One more thing
![Page 34: Learning content with commodity tools](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061307/5a6e27fa7f8b9a90468b52e7/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)

User-owned technology
![Page 36: Learning content with commodity tools](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061307/5a6e27fa7f8b9a90468b52e7/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
No more network monopoly…?
• The iPhone looks cool
• That it’s an always-connected network device is disruptive
• What if this works in the market?
• Faraday cages in classrooms?
• Accept we no longer control the network?
