Networked Learning: Not should we, but how?
August 23, 2013TREC PD Session
Cyri Jones
Modality is actually a moot point.
It’s all about the type of learning taking place. Is it rote learning, i.e. surface learning…
… or is it deep learning -- engaging, participatory, ideally with real-life, multi-disciplinary projects
Online learning strength -- it can help overcome the tragedy of the teacher bottleneck and the course and program silo.
"In a time of stable knowledge, teach; in a time of rapidly-changing knowledge, learn."
– Carl Rogers
“Teaching used to be telling students about the world. Now it’s about engaging students with the world."
Three integrated components can really enable a more modern pedagogy that helps prepare learners for the world they live in…
Social Networks
Mobile Technology
e-Portfolios + Social Network + Mobile Devices =Engaged, empowered, deep learning

EmployabilityGap
Internal Communications Gap Alumni & External Stakeholder Communications Gap
Schools Work & Life
Students, faculty and staff “trapped” in “closed” courses within unit silos within program silos within school silos!
Inter-disciplinary Project Gap
The world is moving rapidly from hierarchal structures to network structures. Schools risk becoming irrelevant by training students for a world that no longer exists using tools that are often out-dated.

E-Portfolio is at the root of this and provides an anchor to other social media like Twitter, Facebook, Linked In etc.

E-Portfolio integrates curriculum and showcases evidence of skills and abilities, empowers student to reflect on what they are learning for better retention.
Classmates can also connect and get better integrated
E-Portfolios enable integration!

Kinds of Learning in these Practices?
Social – in groups; collaboration
Authentic – real life
Experiential
Writing in all courses
Synthesizing – capstone courses
Expecting students to be adults – undergraduate research
Evidence-Based

How Adults Learn
All learning starts with experience – visiting a cathedral, for example
Learners have perceptions about that experience – the cathedral had more natural light than other cathedrals
With help from teaching staff, develop conceptions that are current in the field – such” creating a sense of ethereal light is an important design element in classical gothic architecture”
But, Teaching is Backwards
Teacher has had experience, has had perceptions, and has already developed conceptions
Teacher, then, talks to students at the conceptual level
Students have not had the preliminary and necessary experience or perceptions to understand or embrace the conceptions.
High-Impact Practices reverse this process
Eportfolios support and Augment These
Practices Collect evidence of experience
Record perceptions of that experience; written reflections, audio clip, video clip, photos
Review perceptions; share with other learners, develop beginnings of conceptions
Review perceptions over time of many experiences, develop conceptions; eportfolios allow educators to design a better learning process

Experience Collecting Evidence
Reflection
Better word: PERCEPTION; refining perceptions is a reflective process.
Perception happens automatically; reflective practice requires training
Both perception and reflection are PROCESSES
Reflection can result in an analysis or a meditation or an essay.
Evaluation of Learners’ Work
NOT LISTEN Memorize TEST
But: Listen … form group … develop problem statement … assign deliverables among group … field work, gather evidence … present group report with links to evidence in eportfolio … each individual learner does capstone eportfolio presentation; outside assessors evaluate eportfolios.
