The presentation explores serendipity on the web, folksonomies as organisational structures. I also touched on Connectivism (Social Constructivism?) and some of the learning theory associated.
Transcript of Online organisation techniques and a bit of connected learning theory – LT06
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.)

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
