Background
• Start?– Learning and Teaching Online 2001 - 2006– Knowledge Building Community Model– Worked as an online research community using a
networked environment– Using Knowledge Forum Software– Studied community postings for evidence of
Knowledge Building Principles http://userweb.port.ac.uk/~kingt/research/MA_TKing.pdf

Next?
•Using Blogs for student reflection in 2004•Started using Elgg in 2005•Blogging environment designed for education
•Big QuestionCould Blogging tools support learning communities?

Using Elgg
New model for learning? Considered Connectivism – 6 stages
(Siemens 2006 http://tinyurl.com/cdc3b3 ) Seemed more applicable to networked learning
![Page 13: Participation and Control in Social Networking: Re-purposing the Web for Learning and Teaching](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032615/55a2d8e91a28ab9c7d8b46d6/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)

Six Stages of Connectivism
1. Awareness and Receptivity Individuals acquire basic skills. 2. Connection Forming Individuals begin to use tools and
understanding developed in level 1 3. Contribution and Involvement The learner begins to actively
contribute to the network/ecology. 4. Pattern Recognition Learners are network aware and
competent and …they are now capable of recognising emerging patterns and trends.
5. Meaning-Making Individuals capable of understanding meaning. What do the emerging patterns mean?
6. Praxis Individuals are actively involved in tweaking, building, and recreating their own learning network. Praxis allows the learner to critically evaluate the tools, processes, and elements of an ecology or network.

Findings from Elgg Research(2007/2008)
• Observed 1st 3 stages of Siemen’s model– Individuals acquire basic skills and .. begin to use tools and
understanding developed in level 1 – The learner begins to actively contribute to the network/ecology.
• Focus groups:– Students claimed to have learnt through
discussion– Wanted as much collaboration as possible.– .... all their cohort for final year. – ... external experts.

Initial Findings from Elgg Research (2008/2009)
• Much less successful• Also started to follow some research using
Twitter for L&T … • Twitter is very interesting and may suggest
another approach for drawing students into connectivist learning

Start with the wider network …

Full embedding of student in wider network
Student community embedded in the wider network – and good basis for a community of practice.
BUT maybe only in ONE respect ……..
![Page 26: Participation and Control in Social Networking: Re-purposing the Web for Learning and Teaching](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032615/55a2d8e91a28ab9c7d8b46d6/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
COP ?
• ONLY in so far…. Students may be novices in working these types of communities … can be drawn in, so they gain that expertise
• Expertise in how to be a good community member .. In how to work in these networks ..
•Possibly NOT the transmission of a craft or professional expertise
•More like apprenticeship learning
•Teacher has to be an expert in how to operate in this environment …. Challenge 1
![Page 27: Participation and Control in Social Networking: Re-purposing the Web for Learning and Teaching](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032615/55a2d8e91a28ab9c7d8b46d6/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Challenges for lecturers 2• Learning communities .. But NOT operating within an
expertise paradigm– credentials, transmission, deference, tradition, mandatory
• Very close to knowledge building communities– Task oriented, democratic, reciprocal, voluntary, dynamic
• Operate within collective intelligence paradigm– NOT one ‘body of knowledge’ shared by all members– Draw on diverse knowledge of members - combined
expertise of all members - sum total of all the parts – OK to ‘lurk’ – wait until your contribution is needed– But… an individual is affiliated to many communities
..Siemens higher stages of connectivisim – “pattern recognition” and “meaning making”
![Page 28: Participation and Control in Social Networking: Re-purposing the Web for Learning and Teaching](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032615/55a2d8e91a28ab9c7d8b46d6/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Challenges for Lecturers 3
• In collective intelligence communities emphasis on emotional and intellectual engagement (fun, game playing?)
• If not meeting needs .. participants leave / withdraw
• Have choices … and are in control
![Page 29: Participation and Control in Social Networking: Re-purposing the Web for Learning and Teaching](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032615/55a2d8e91a28ab9c7d8b46d6/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Challenges for lecturers 4• To shape the learning experience need to take
control and apply constraints• Ultimate aim is that the student can control their
own learning. Make informed choices.– “At every stage of learning, to either take control or
relinquish control” (Dron)
• Fear of loosing control … Answer?– Negotiated control
• Loosely structured, dialogue driven approaches
– Use stigmergy – • “behaviour of one guides and influences others” (Dron) • Twitter (followers), Blogs (active, influential centres, gather) • Structure emerges from the dialogue and takes the control load
from the participants
![Page 30: Participation and Control in Social Networking: Re-purposing the Web for Learning and Teaching](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032615/55a2d8e91a28ab9c7d8b46d6/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Summary• Re-examine COP Model – let go?• Lecturer expertise (active users of Web 2.0)• Active engagement with new cultures of
participation and media convergence. Implications:– extended access to new media technologies/ computers/
networks– participation gap , convergence resistors
• Happy with less control? Less imposed structure.– Be more relaxed with the structure that arises in the
dialogue taking the strain of control from the lecturer
