<![endif]--><span style="font-family: "Tahoma","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Much is being made in academia of the need
for SLOW time – not least to combat the neo-liberal, marketised, rational,
agile, flexible, measurable, inputs, outputs, tests, SATs, League Tables… that
is education today. The whole glorious, messy business of fierce, joyous,
struggling learning – the intensity – all is lost in our quality assurance,
increased productivity, AWAM context. Higher Education is now all about corporatization
and corporate culture. McChesney (1999 cited in Giroux 2002; 425): ‘Neoliberalism
is the defining political paradigm of our time – it refers to the politics and processes
whereby a relative handful of private interests are permitted to control as
much as possible of social life in order to maximise their personal profits’.</span>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "Tahoma","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">This
‘shadow’ learning and teaching has become the thing itself – and even thinking
about our practice differently becomes ever harder…</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "Tahoma","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">And
yet – at the same time, our students – our glorious messy struggling students –
are typically ‘non-traditional’ with busy busy lives and multiple commitments.
They need to feel that what they are struggling for and with has meaning and
value – and they need some strategies to help them stay sane – and to help them
to focus and to learn that which they want to learn.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "Tahoma","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">To
help – we have free writing and peer review time in class… We build in time for
really SLOW reading: textmapping, annotating, illustrating, discussing and
presenting… Where the reading may take two hours of class time or more if
needed … (BUT – because each group can read and present a different article
back to the class – lo – a literature review can be sketched in collegially).</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "Tahoma","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">But
we wondered if we needed to directly address this thing of SLOW time – of repudiating
the one touch – one skim read approach of the drive by degree – and help
students to engage in more productive, focussed ways.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "Tahoma","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">So
– we have developed a one-and-a-half hour activity – that involves watching a half-hour
‘grounding’ meditation – plus one-hour of responses to follow up questions… And
we wanted to engage in a collegiate evaluation. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "Tahoma","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">We
are inviting anyone who has 1.5 hours to spare to engage in the activity for
themselves – and then to give us some feedback – along the lines of whether you
thought the activity itself is well-conceived and has value – and perhaps
whether you might use something similar yourself… or whether you already have
something similar yourself that you would like to share.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "Tahoma","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Here
is the Activity – please join in:</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Tahoma","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">*
Be able to FOCUS – to be aware of and pay attention to that which is important
on the course</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Tahoma","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">*
ENGAGE ACTIVELY – with the material – with us – with other students – to promote
dialogue and to help make the learning personally meaningful.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Tahoma","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Typically
this is a SLOW process – that requires us to still our over-active minds – to sto[p
worrying about all the distractions in our lives – and to give real, meaningful
time to one activity at a time.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "Tahoma","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">When
you are really busy juggling study – work – home – this all seems impossible –
you want to ‘hit and run’ – you want one touch writing and one dip reading…</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "Tahoma","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Not

<span style="font-family: "Tahoma","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">To
help you slow down and focus, we want you to watch this half hour ‘grounding’
meditation designed to help you slow down, become settled and focussed… and
positive. Then we want you to set your timer and spend one hour on the follow
up activities. Afterwards, pause and reflect again: What was it like to slow
down and focus in this way? How might you use what you have learned from all of
this to help you become a more successful student?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "Tahoma","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">ACTIVITY:
total time 1.5 hours: Engage in half hour meditation via the video and spend
one hour on the associated activities.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Tahoma","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">1:
Prepare to watch the half hour video – link below. The point is to give a full
half hour to this – without rushing off to do anything else. Without worrying
about anything else. The goal is to learn to focus – and to realise that
focussed time is more productive that multi-tasking and it is definitely more
productive than worrying about everything that you are not doing!</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "Tahoma","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">2:
After watching the video – please answer the following questions and engage in
the following activities. In the interests of learning to enjoy SLOW time – be prepared
to spend one whole hour (yes – a whole HOUR!!) – on the following activities…</span></div>

Why did we ask you to engage in the meditation and what if anything did you get
from participating in it?</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Tahoma","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">*
Find and share an ACTIVITY or a RESOURCE that would have an effect similar to
that which we hoped the meditation would have (even if it did not work for you)
giving your reasons for sharing.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "calibri" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">There
are many reasons to consider alternative or inclusive assessments – from the
push for more engaging and compelling assessment tasks and modes – you know –
tasks that are more exciting than producing a recursive report that mainly
regurgitates the course; to designing out or preventing plagiarism; to complying
with the law on inclusive practice in re students with disability. This post
focusses on the Disability Law in the UK – but the advice, guidance and thought
processes provoked are designed to get us all thinking more about what assessment
we are setting – and why… WHY do we set an essay or the production of a
learning and teaching resource? Why do we require a group presentation or an
exam? What are we looking for in both the FORM and CONTENT of the assignment?
What knowledge and skills ado we want the students to harness and reveal?</span></div>

discussion phase that real benefit was gained from the feedback process.</span></span></span>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="color: #222222; line-height: 150%;">These days large class sizes make it extremely difficult to make
class time available for this sort of dialogic encounter. It was suggested that
audio-feedback could simulate this process to some extent – typically spoken
feedback is experienced less negatively (</span><span style="color: #222222; line-height: 150%;"><a href="http://jolt.merlot.org/vol10no1/cavanaugh_0314.pdf">http://jolt.merlot.org/vol10no1/cavanaugh_0314.pdf</a>)

taught online). </span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="color: #222222; line-height: 150%;">Another alternative used by several members of the group is to
scaffold meaningful peer review – and to use this opportunity for timely,
formative feedback. With peer review, the </span><span style="color: #222222;">receiver of feedback a <i>participant</i> in
process, not just a passive recipient. The process itself requires the </span><span style="color: #222222; line-height: 150%;">receiver to <i>engage with </i>and <i>act upon </i>feedback –
and the focus of feedback is on supporting learning, rather than justifying a
mark. Moreover – this practice changes the feedback dynamic from one of
correction – to the dialogic co-production of knowledge: <i>The dialogic
co-construction of knowledge is a particularly pertinent, though sometimes
underrated element in academic knowledge production </i>Olga Dysthe (2003). </span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="color: #222222; line-height: 150%;">Our
next step was to use IMD to seed discussion on the experience of feedback: the
giving and the receiving of it. IMD is d</span><span style="color: #222222;">ialogue

response to prompt questions – here on the feedback experience – they then briefly
WRITE a literal description of the picture – followed by a brief analysis of
why it answers the questions; this is followed by discussion. At the end of the
discussion we asked participants to write their conclusions and the
implications for their practice of what they had covered.</span></span></span></div>

exists in a continuum from courses that are completely online to more blended
approaches where F2F teaching is either supported by use of ICT or, and this is
a more contested proposition, ‘enhanced’ by ICT in some way… Now I love the fact
that the web is there to support my teaching, my learning – and a whole heap of
other things as well… (who could not love something that offers you access to
the Banana Song - <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UYqvGWBkiBc">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UYqvGWBkiBc</a>
- when your class is getting a bit sleepy from all those big heavy thoughts?) –
but given that Education has and can adapt to continual technological advances –
printing press, radio, television – why the continual top down Government
emphasis on eLearning (our critique of Government policy on e-learning <a href="https://www.academia.edu/3433954/A_Journey_into_silence_analysis_of_government_e-learning_policy_in_Social_Responsibility_Journal_V5_N4_2009">https://www.academia.edu/3433954/A_Journey_into_silence_analysis_of_government_e-learning_policy_in_Social_Responsibility_Journal_V5_N4_2009</a>)

about the pedagogy?</span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">My
preparation for #WBLT was to engage lightly with @HybridPed’s mini-MOOC: <a href="http://www.digitalpedagogylab.com/subversion-and-instructional-design/">http://www.digitalpedagogylab.com/subversion-and-instructional-design/</a>
- which starts with the argument that much of what happens in <span style="font-family: "calibri" , "sans-serif";">eLearning </span>is
influenced by Instructional Design emanating from the Computer Aided Instruction
models that emerged in the fifties (see <a href="http://www.digitalpedagogylab.com/hybridped/a-plea-for-pedagogy/">http://www.digitalpedagogylab.com/hybridped/a-plea-for-pedagogy/</a>).
My problem is that this model seems to emerge from a form of technological
determinism (<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Technological_determinism">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Technological_determinism</a>)
rather that a critical engagement with education itself: who and what is
education for? How can education be emancipatory and transformative? How can education
facilitate <i>action</i> – especially by the previously powerless? Viz. Freire (<a href="http://www.freire.org/paulo-freire/">http://www.freire.org/paulo-freire/</a>).

<span style="font-family: "calibri" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When exploring “E-learning and Digital
Cultures” (my first MOOC taken January 2013 – and interesting because it was a
five-week MOOC taken by some 44,000 people – and embedded within an MSc module:
<a href="http://digitalculture-ed.net/digitalculture-ed.net/index.html">http://digitalculture-ed.net/digitalculture-ed.net/index.html</a>
at Edinburgh University) we started with the culture – and models of utopia and
dystopia; transhumanism and post-humanism. We explored these ideas through
engagement with theoretical texts and videos freely available on the web and
the final assessment was to produce an artefact that reflected on the course –
and to peer review at least three artefacts produced by other participants. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<b><span style="font-family: "calibri" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Tell

<span style="font-family: "calibri" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">#edcmooc
itself modelled for me in practice what the web does offer educationalists: a
chance to develop ludic approaches to thinking and learning – and to
assessment. Our artefacts were produced often collaboratively as we reached out
to other participants for help and guidance – and we all poured much thought
and effort and dialogic behaviour into the production of our digital things.
The very act of being part of that MOOC helped me to begin to create my own PLN
(personal learning network) – which has since grown as I have participated in
other MOOCs – and I have followed the rhizomatic threads and connections of the
people I first encountered in my web-enabled learning journey.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "calibri" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Given
that that experience was so positive and so life- and learning-enhancing, I am
now re-reading Sian Bayne from Edinburgh University to help with wrestle with
#WBLT – especially as Bayne critiques the field in an emancipatory way (Bayne,
S. (2014) What’s the matter with ‘Technology Enhanced Learning’?. Learning,
Media and Technology, DOI: 10.1080/17439884.2014.915851. </span></div>

<b><span style="font-family: "calibri" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">What
is it like to be a learner in the 21st century?</span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">To
be a learner today is to live in a world designed by high-functioning
socio-paths: never have I in the UK seen so much inequity and injustice. Never have
I seen education so trammelled and controlled by rules, regulations;
surveillance and control (<a href="http://www.theguardian.com/education/2016/feb/23/england-schools-extremists-europe-tests-excludes-elitism">http://www.theguardian.com/education/2016/feb/23/england-schools-extremists-europe-tests-excludes-elitism</a>).
This world of SATs and tests and League Tables and the corporate takeover of
schools by the so-called Free School initiative contributes to what Mayall
calls the ‘scholarisation of childhood’ (<a href="http://image.guardian.co.uk/sys-files/Education/documents/2007/11/23/livesreport.pdf">http://image.guardian.co.uk/sys-files/Education/documents/2007/11/23/livesreport.pdf</a>):
a valorisation of what is called education at the expense of learning, joy and
growth.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Yes,
this world also has the world wide web in it – but whilst it is argued that this
is busily re-wiring our brains and the ways that we think – and it is argued
that this facilitates access to information (and it does!) – I cannot help but
place successive Governments’ policy for eLearning within the context of their
desire to control citizens – rather than seeing this as any emancipatory
thrust.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">At
the same time, I must live with hope – and so attempt to harness technology in
my practice to enable students to collaborate, to be creative, to play to learn
– and to write themselves as they develop their own voice and power negotiating
the arcane and exclusionary practices of HE (viz. <a href="https://becomingeducational.wordpress.com/2016/02/18/getahead/">https://becomingeducational.wordpress.com/2016/02/18/getahead/</a>).
<br />
So - in my teaching - I ask my students to
Develop a Digital Me – a wide ranging brief that allows them to play with
different animation and comic book tools to develop their own stories about
themselves or about learning. Some of their most recent digital artefacts are
captured here: <a href="http://learning.londonmet.ac.uk/epacks/posters-digital2/">http://learning.londonmet.ac.uk/epacks/posters-digital2/</a>
- please do have a look at them – and see what you think. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">I
think this brief enabled them to play with – rather than be controlled by - either
the technology itself or the overarching control paradigm that inhabits all of
the education narrative. It also helps to shift the essay’s monolithic
domination of the assignment repertoire – allowing students to collaborate and
cooperate; to explore and discover: to be discursive and emergent rather than
recursive and controlled… Now that’s got to be worth something – hasn’t it? Now how to bring that into a Web Development Module!</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">So, I turn the question back on you – given that education can mean ‘leading out’,
given that we can be with Freire and want to empower our students for <i>action</i>
– how and why do you use technology in your teaching and learning? </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Every Digital Pedagogy Lab Course keeps in mind the
following:</span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Content is #1:</span></b><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;"> Content does not equate to learning, but should instead
form the foundation for inquiry, discussion, dissension, and the production
(not, never, no-way-no-how the consumption) of knowledge. Content is a
proposal; no one should ever be quizzed on content. Content is not there to
digest or memorize, it’s there to inspect, laugh about, jump off from.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b><i><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">To this end, we keep content as minimal as possible, and
include always the spur toward dialogue. Not reading, not memorizing, not
passing tests. Joining in. Content needs to be the ground upon which we meet,
not the basis for what we learn.</span></i></b></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Narrative structure:</span></b><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;"> All courses are compositions, and as such they should
tell a story. In this, I am referring both literally and also more generally to
the idea of story. I believe that teaching should utilize anecdote,
storytelling, performance in specific moments, but I also believe that any
course should follow a narrative arc. An online course cannot be a series of
handouts followed by a quiz. <b><i>The course should begin one place and end
someplace decidedly elsewhere… someplace learner and teacher mutually discover.
The best courses are as engaging as the best stories, and they don’t neglect
aesthetic considerations.</i></b></span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Open-ended questions:</span></b><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;"> Yes or no questions are for computers, not people. If
the answer to a classroom question is “yes” or “no”, it may as well be
rhetorical for all the good it does. <b><i>Pedagogically, open-ended questions
are one of the simplest, least threatening ways to <a href="http://www.digitalpedagogylab.com/hybridped/freire-made-mooc-open-education-resistance/">abdicate
authority</a>. If we are truly curious about what learners think, then we need
to leave lots of room for their reasoning, musing, and questioning.</i></b> And
sometimes the best answers are questions.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b><i><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">It’s also important to use questions to spin off from
content. Never ask for regurgitation of information.</span></i></b><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;"> Why would we want it? Don’t we
already know that particular answer? Can we let discussions grow out of content
instead of asking participants to remind us of what we’ve said?</span></span></div>

the answers to questions should not merely (blandly, boringly) repeat what’s
been said already, neither should the work in a course require nothing more than
an understanding of content. Learning isn’t an act of recall, so activities
that support learning shouldn’t aim to demonstrate recall.</span></span></div>

Digital Pedagogy Lab will offer in Fall 2016, <b><i>“What’s the method of
assessment?” I responded, “Completion, whatever that means.”</i></b> A course
should be challenging enough that just getting through it is an accomplishment
(and compelling enough that learners want to get to the end of the story). <a href="http://www.digitalpedagogylab.com/hybridped/20000-person-seminar/">Jesse
wrote that</a> “there is no authority in the course except insofar as
everyone is an authority.” The notion that teachers, above learners themselves,
have more authority over assessment is absurd.</span></span></div>

page inside the LMS. We suddenly become the very old, white, male, tight-lipped
scholar who can’t use contractions or ellipses or emoticons or ironic
parentheticals or risky language (or run-on sentences). Even those of us who
are not grammar guardians become hypervigilant about sounding like the stony,
unapproachable expert. Most teachers sound nothing like themselves when they
write online; and yet voice sets the tone in an online course. Perfect grammar
shakes no one’s hand, gives no hugs.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Welcome
to the MAF blog – and to MAF itself. We look forward to exploring assessment
and feedback with you… </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">This
module asks you to investigate the theory and practice of Assessment and
Feedback – and to relate that to your own practice. It is intended to help
staff develop their current practice in ways that are helpful to them and to
their students and to make assessment part of the learning dialogue: wrestling
with assessment <b><i>of</i></b>, <b><i>for</i></b> and <b><i>as</i></b>
learning. Each week there will be some preliminary reading and/or viewing to do
before the class – which will be explored practically and dialogically in the
session itself. This opportunity to work with others across the disciplines is
what people value most about the course itself – and we can see already
that this is a lively group with much to offer (see also arguments for a ‘flipped’
approach: <a href="https://net.educause.edu/ir/library/pdf/eli7081.pdf">https://net.educause.edu/ir/library/pdf/eli7081.pdf</a>).

<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Group
presentation (40%): explore an aspect of assessment that intrigues you and
produce a multimodal presentation or resource (5mins) that presents an issue, argument and/or ‘case’
to the class – with short critical commentary.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Individual
project (60%): develop a sustained argument about a specific aspect of
assessment related to your own context and perhaps extending an issue that
arose in exploring the group project. Typically presented as a formal essay, we
are open to creative interpretations of that genre.</span></div>

Re-visit the module Learning Outcomes – and the notes you made when we
discussed these in class. List the ways that YOU might be able to demonstrate
that you have met each of the LOs.</span></div>

your own context</span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">We
started with a brief free write and longer discussion on what we like about our
current assessment and feedback processes, what areas of curiosity and concern
we have – and what we hope to gain from the module itself. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<b><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">What
we like</span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Thoughtful
and transparent assessment design was valued: where the assessment is clearly
relevant to the LOs; where it is weighted and balanced well across criteria; and
where students can clearly see, ‘This is what they are looking for.’</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Some
liked tried and tested ‘safe’ or known methods of assessment – the essay and
the exam – others argued that the ‘not safe is best’ – where the outcomes of
the assessment are not fixed in advance – but the participants can argue or
make a good case. The analysis of a Case Study was cited here: where the
students are not led to a given answer – but must interrogate a case study and
come up with their own diagnosis or draw their own conclusions.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">There
was an argument offered for a diversity of assessment instruments across a course:
presentations, short tests (including online) and course work – so that all
participants would have an opportunity to showcase their learning or harness
their own preferred learning strategies.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">A
few offered arguments for what might be called the emergent graduate identity approach
(Len Holmes: <a href="http://www.graduate-employability.org.uk/">http://www.graduate-employability.org.uk/</a>)
– where thought is given to the ‘skills’, capabilities and capacities required
of the graduate – and the course is worked backwards from there. Examples cited
were the Montessori course where participants have to produce lessons plans,
group presentations and give peer feedback – and the prospective Science
teacher set many small stakes assignments – that could lead, say, to the
planning and leading of a trip to the science museum. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">This
connected with arguments around developing self-assessment and the students’
ability to evaluate their own work; possibly enhanced where the learning and
teaching clearly feeds forward into the assessment – and where the students
make their learning conscious: in blogs and by illustrating the session and/or
their learning in some way (this paper explores blogging to learn – in the
context of two LondonMet modules – available from Investigations – or this link
to Academia Edu: <a href="https://www.academia.edu/9117059/Disrupting_learning_landscapes_Mentoring_engaging_becoming_in_Investigations_in_University_Teaching_and_Learning_Vol_9_Spring_2014_pp15-21">https://www.academia.edu/9117059/Disrupting_learning_landscapes_Mentoring_engaging_becoming_in_Investigations_in_University_Teaching_and_Learning_Vol_9_Spring_2014_pp15-21</a>).

<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Finally
– it was argued that re-designing the assessment could provoke positive change
in the learning and teaching processes.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<b><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Concerns</span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">How
do we know that a particular assessment instrument is valid and fair? And – how
on earth do we know what students are ‘making’ of the feedback? Here again
there was discussion of the use of assignment change to provoke positive change
in pedagogic practice – and the invitation to re-investigate assessments
alternative to the essay – that involve the equivalent rigour, critical engagement
and endeavour.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<b><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">What
we want MAF to do</span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Overall
it seems that most people want to use the module to investigate what
constitutes successful assessment – defined as tasks that that help students
both to learn what they need to – and that help them transition to the next
level of study. A bonus would be the opportunity to explore the assessment
tools in WebLearn – and to work out how to make a good case for assessment
change that would convince a line manager.</span></div>

Cheating: friend, foe or scapegoat</span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Our
<i>getting to know you</i> activity was a Topic Mediated Dialogue (TMD) session
– where we investigated teaching, learning and assessment through the lens of ‘cheating’.
After paired discussions, participants had to draw a representation of their
partner – and use that to introduce them to the class.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">NB:
TMDs can be structured around any topic with which you want to engage - we also
use the same TMD prompts to get students to explore their own thoughts on ‘cheating’:

ever greater depth… We are looking forward to taking this MAF journey with you.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">I
have just started a formal blended learning MA module: <b>Web Based Learning and
Teaching</b> for my professional development. I love my MOOCs – but occasionally I
also enjoy the shape and feel of a formal course. I enjoy being with real live
human beings in a classroom. I love the buzz of real conversation – and I am
always fascinated by seeing how other people organise the teaching and learning
– the bonding and belonging…</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">The
course itself is delivered by JG and JD (I must check with them before I use
their names on the web) – and they delivered a wonderful experience which made
me as a participant feel welcomed, enabled and confident that I understood the
course and its assignments; that I would be supported if I struggled; that I had
an idea about my personal direction through the course; and, most importantly,
that I was excited – I wanted to do this thing! I also spotted some lovely
strategies that they used to help me on this journey:</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<b><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Ice
Breaker</span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">There
was a brief ice breaker activity where we were asked to sit with somebody that
we did not know – share our contexts and reasons for doing the course – and then
to introduce that person back to the rest of the class. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Immediately most of us had to move around –
had to attempt human contact with at least one person – and then had to make
contact with the rest of the group. Simple, friendly – effective.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<b><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Hopes
and fears</span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">After
an introduction to the what, why and how of the course, we were given a green,
red and yellow post-it – and asked to write our positive thoughts about TEL
(technology enhanced learning); our concerns about TEL; and our hopes for the
course. We stuck these to the whiteboard at the front of the class (we had both
electronic and conventional whiteboards) – the tutors read them out… and we
responded. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">I
thought this an excellent way to enable people to voice their hopes and fears
without having to make themselves immediately vulnerable. If we wanted to, we
could ‘own’ a point – or we could just join in with the discussion…</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<b><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Finally
I am feeling…</span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">To
round off the class JG said, ‘I am feeling…’ – and pointed to a participant –
who completed the sentence: I am feeling excited by the course, I already have
an idea what I want to do for my presentation and my project; I am feeling …</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Overall
the feelings were full of excitement and optimism – but we were also empowered
to say if we were worried or afraid. </span></div>

what is WBLT?</span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">We
will be building our own course on course site: <a href="https://www.coursesites.com/webapps/Bb-sites-course-creation-BBLEARN/pages/index.html">https://www.coursesites.com/webapps/Bb-sites-course-creation-BBLEARN/pages/index.html</a>
- a free online service offered by BlackBoard – to experience the process of
designing and building a managed, virtual learning environment. We have to give
a presentation on one new tool or TEL-enabled strategy that we have trialled
with volunteer ‘students’, we will have to complete a reflective journal – and we
will have to write a 3000 word meta-reflection. All good stuff – and I will
hope to tinker with the final essay and offer it for publication somewhere – so
that is an additional bonus.</span></div>

finally</span></b></div>

<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">I
prepared for WBLT by engaging with <b>Hybrid Pedagogy’s #moocmooc: </b><a href="http://www.digitalpedagogylab.com/subversion-and-instructional-design/">http://www.digitalpedagogylab.com/subversion-and-instructional-design/</a>
- which I also enjoyed enormously… but which I could not give sufficient time
to because of my heavy workload. I am hoping that the added gravity of a
physical course will anchor me and make sure that I actually do all the work –
all the assignments… </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Here’s
hoping.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">I
thought that I would blog about my journey through WBLT – because that’s the
best way I know to make the learning conscious to me. It would be great if some
of you out there followed me – gave me some tips and tricks – asked me some
stuff to get me thinking harder.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">

<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">So
this week we have been doing just that. Several colleagues from work were
thinking about doing this course, so we had a F2F lunch meeting and decided
that, yes, it was still possible to join in. In our sub-group we managed a
small Hangout – declaring an interest in exploring the use of social media with
students to help them to curate their own PD experiences… and in exploring
social media in the workplace to help staff bond as a CoP across courses and
Faculties. I saw that another group were going to explore creative ways of
capturing lecture content - a big visual/multi-modal strand is emerging – and I’m really
interested in seeing where that goes. </span></div>

wrestling in deep ways with key issues, they get to learn about each other,
they form friendship groups and bond as a cohort.</span></div>

found that this third week did in practice slow down a little bit… there was
time to draw, to talk, to think, to present and to listen. Hopefully this still
felt productive – but also perhaps, it helped the students to think that the
course and their degrees were do-able.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">As mentioned in last blog
post, we are busy writing the fourth edition of Essential Study Skills: the
complete guide to success at university.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>This is a very user-friendly book that shares some tips and tricks about
taking control of your university experience – and still having some fun. It’s
mainly for those like us who are the first in their families to go to
university – but of course – what works with students like us, works with
everyone (Warren 2002).</span></span>

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">And then Simon Ensor issued his picture and blogpost challenge - and I had to jump in and write
a brief blogpost in response to his image – cos it’s an image we use in book. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">It’s where we talk about having the ‘big picture’ or overview of a course. We
say:</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">“Whilst it is true that
we tend to learn things in pieces, one step at a time, this is helped if we
have the big picture first; if we know how the subject will be covered. It’s
like a jigsaw puzzle, it is much easier to put the pieces together if we have
the picture on the box. Similarly, if we understand how universities work and
how our courses have been put together, we will be able to achieve more, more
swiftly.”</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;"></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Obviously that is meant
as useful advice to all people coming to university – but especially for those
whose family might not have been able to give them the gen – the inside track –
on what university is all about: if they have not been groomed from birth to succeed
in that system (if they don't have the cultural or academic captial - Bourdieu, Passeron, Wacquant…).</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">The picture on the box is
a shorthand for saying that universities are systems and have systems – and if
you understand them you can make them work for you. But it can be seen as
really unhelpful – as Maha Bali points out – there is only ONE true solution to
a jigsaw puzzle – and we do not want to trap people into thinking there is only
one true way to survive at university – and one true way to get it ‘right’.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">We have another chapter
in the book: Make university positive – where we try to indicate all the other
things that universities are beyond the merely academic – beyond the merely ‘get
your head down and work the system’ system. We suggest that our widening participation
students also join the Clubs and Societies – that they make friends – that they
do not just rush off home to family duties – or rush off to work for work
duties – but they spend time ‘being with’ their fellow students. That they hang
out in the canteen chatting to people – that they become Peer Mentors. That they
believe in themselves and develop their self-confidence and self-esteem – after
all – that is what the traditional middle class student does know about
university. As Stephen Fry said recently on Desert Island Discs – he only
attended about three lectures in all his time at Cambridge – but he put on
several plays a year – he joined Footlights – he made enduring friendships… and
we want to get that across the our students too.</span></span></div>

manuscript for the fourth edition of our student text book (<i>Essential Study
Skills: the complete guide to university </i>– since you’re asking… oh – you didn’t?!)…
Too busy to join in officially with #clmooc I’ve been a joyful lurker –
especially this week where by happy coincidence I was running a session on ‘Game-ifying
your classes’ as the MOOC was exploring game making – and games as a critical
lens (<a href="http://clmooc.educatorinnovator.org/2015/2015/07/06/make-cycle-3-level-up-your-game-design/">http://clmooc.educatorinnovator.org/2015/2015/07/06/make-cycle-3-level-up-your-game-design/</a><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>) </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">I ran my session using the resources
shared by Alex Moseley and Nicola Whitty: <a href="http://playthinklearn.net/ten-steps-to-game-design/">http://playthinklearn.net/ten-steps-to-game-design/</a>
There is a PPT for the facilitator and cards for the stages of game-making:
context, constraints, story layer and a sort of ‘secret santa’ card – given only
to one person in each group – who then has to introduce a random element into
the game: cheese, a penguin…</span></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">For our session I distributed chalks to
write and draw upon the black sugar paper covered tables – I put out balloons,
magazines for collage-production, glue and scissors and random objects to make
the room feel welcome and playful…</span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">We enjoyed the game making – especially
the brilliant idea to produce a huge snakes and ladders cloth for the floor –
with huge furry dice… and game cards for maths… We thought how all this could
be produced by cross-collaboration – DTP producing the floor cloth – art helping
with design and colour – and then ALL the students in ALL the subjects could
produce the quiz cards – each year… Music students could entertain us as we
played – and ICT students could produce online versions of the game to share…</span></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">As an aside, we invite our <i>Becoming </i>students
to produce games as part of their course reflection: <a href="https://noblechloe.wordpress.com/first-year-learning-logs/first-year/learning-logs-21-to-30/learning-log-week-21/">https://noblechloe.wordpress.com/first-year-learning-logs/first-year/learning-logs-21-to-30/learning-log-week-21/</a>
- and the group in this blog went on to build their game into the final
Performance: <a href="https://noblechloe.wordpress.com/first-year-learning-logs/first-year/learning-logs-21-to-30/learning-log-week-26/">https://noblechloe.wordpress.com/first-year-learning-logs/first-year/learning-logs-21-to-30/learning-log-week-26/</a>

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">… And then we thought – we could alter
the Moseley and Whitty cards slightly and get our Student Ambassadors to
produce really cool induction and welcome activities… <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>and I told the participants about #clmooc and
game week …</span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="color: navy; font-family: Tahoma;">I’ve always been a little confused by the word ‘content.’ There
is something lonely and unconnected about the word somehow, when I hear it used
with reference to what happens in learning. I imagine a lone student, huddled
away in a dorm room, reading sanitized facts in the hopes of passing a multiple
choice quiz. The content somehow merging with the learning objective and the
assessment to create a world where learning is about acquiring truth from the
truth box. … So what happens when we peek under the word ‘content’ to see what
lives there? What does it mean for a course to ‘contain’ information? What
choices are being made… what power is being used?</span> <!--[if gte mso 9]><xml>

<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: Tahoma;">I remember
teaching my evening Access students (Access = an alternative route into HE for
‘non-traditional’ students who did not have previous academic success or
induction) a short Media course that I had designed shortly after taking my own
Masters: <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Film and Television Studies for
Education</i>. So excited was I by all that we had read and said and done on
THAT course that I tried to shove all of its content into one six-week
programme!</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="color: #222222; font-family: Tahoma;">Of course, my idea of ‘content’ is not so much me <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">telling</i>
– it's discussion, seminars and presentations - a bit of ‘doing’
things – so perhaps not too bad. But – PHEW – you know? </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: Tahoma;">So here we are
in the rhizome considering CONTENT – and the tensions of content in education. When we recently presented on our <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="color: navy;">Becoming </span></i>module, </span><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: Tahoma;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: Tahoma;">our audience was positive but still they
wondered, how had we <i><b>got away</b></i> with so little ‘content’? </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: Tahoma;">And there we
have it. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: Tahoma;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: Tahoma;">How, in this surveillance, measurement and target-driven culture, had we managed <i>this</i>?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: Tahoma;"></span><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: Tahoma;">In <i>this </i>- the students have developed friendship groups and CoP. They have worked together - and creatively alone. The one who definitely
HATED blogging has developed the most creative blog EVER (<a href="https://noblechloe.wordpress.com/">https://noblechloe.wordpress.com/</a>)
– with feedback from other students around the world who have taken part
in her 30-day drawing challenge. The students have felt and shown their engagement,
their commitment, their industry – their pride and joy. </span>

<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: Tahoma;">So why do even

<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: Tahoma;">The ignorant school master?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: Tahoma;">When I first
started teaching English Literature A’ levels in the 1980s, we had three
three-hour externally set exams that we had to aim for – and these outlined
our general content. We had to cover Shakespeare and Chaucer; nineteenth and
twentieth century literature; and poetry and prose. There was choice in which
texts we chose to focus upon and as tutor I tended to choose the most
accessible and the shortest texts. It was an evening class and instead of two
years, we had six months to cover the syllabus! </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: Tahoma;">I never <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">taught</i> this class – we discussed and
discussed and discussed – and the discussions improved when I discovered the
pyramid (think/pair/share) method. The students presented on different topics –
and we predicted potential questions on the forthcoming papers – and discussed
possible answers. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: Tahoma;">This to me is no
different really from what I still believe to be good ‘teaching’: the course
itself emerges from the engagement of the participants. Sometimes you are all
signed up for something that has a structure and a quite loose
content (the old A’ level literature programme) – sometimes the structure and
content are even looser (like <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Becoming</i>):
a TITLE, really BRIEF Learning Outcomes and, in our case, three portfolio items,
one research project and an essay… Sometimes you are asked to teach a course or
a module with a very fixed pre-ordained CONTENT all spelled out in tightly
worded Aims and Learning Outcomes – where each week the Content
and extensive reading have been sketched in by another. Even
then, you can hack it, flip it, re-work it: get the students to make posters, run workshops and
give presentations...</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: Tahoma;">At best, the
processes are the same and the course emerges… </span></div>

naming of parts</b></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">This takes me back to last week
and ‘The Naming of Parts’. The Henry Reed poem has the voice of the drill
sergeant naming parts – even those parts that ‘you do not have’. The responses
are the poetic thoughts of the men – in the garden amongst the coral flowers –
the almond blossoms - the bees – easing the spring. That poem captures the
dichotomous nature of education for me – on the one hand the percussive naming
of parts; the taxonomies; the hierarchies; the lists; our places on the lists…
on the other the joyous wandering.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">In the end it is the reason I
dropped out of school. I was studying botany, zoology and chemistry (and not
allowed to combine these with English Literature – for that did not fit!) – and
oh it was all about the naming of parts: family - phyla – genus… the whole nine
yards – and for what and for why?</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Like Piaget and his hierarchy of
learning: enactive – iconic – symbolic – going upward – leaving the doers
behind. Of course. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Funnily enough we’re trying to
do something a bit like this on our first year module, <i>Becoming an Educationalist</i>. We have set several projects for the
students to do – including taking over three weeks of the course for their
‘Performances’. (For this week’s performance, check out this student blog: <a href="https://becomingeducational.wordpress.com/2015/04/24/learning-log-week-26/">https://becomingeducational.wordpress.com/2015/04/24/learning-log-week-26/</a>
.) It is a year-long module and we set a Research Project and an Essay – but we’ve
also allocated 30% of the marks for three portfolio items - and said to the
students that they can submit anything – a blog post – a piece of art – a
notebook… anything that reflects their best learning experience – anything that
showcases their creativity – talent – engagement – joy. And of course this is
really confusing. And of course – we try to be helpful. But not to say so much
that we generate another form of strait jacket – we want the bees and the
flowers – and not the naming of parts.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 12pt;"><br />To be held on APRIL 2ND 2015, 9.30 am - 5.00pm at the University of Bristol<br /><br />The aim of this series of one-day symposiums is to promote and provoke experimental forms of representation that challenge and reach beyond the constricting norms of social science research, reinforced by the requirements of many academic journals. This event builds on the highly successful meeting held at the University of Bradford in 2014 which brought together scholars engaged with writing organization/s differently. We explored whether and how scholars can productively and creatively engage with writing that problematises the inter-relations between gendered, sexed, raced and classed bodies normally constrained by writing rules and genres.<br /></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 12pt;">This workshop will focus on the practice of producing writing to address the ethical imperative to account for difference in academic representation and as a form of activism and engagement with non-academic audiences. We will explore writing research as a fictionalized account, the ways in which embodied and poetic writing can induce us to re-think our connections to the world, and look at writers whose work can help us towards new ways of acting and writing ethically from the body and from the everyday. We will go on to experiment and play with our own writing and to think how we might further develop these exciting approaches within Management and Organization Studies.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-GB"></span><span lang="EN-GB">This week I am
mostly vicariously participating in Hybrid Pedagogies #MOOCMOOC on Critical
pedagogies (<a href="http://www.hybridpedagogy.com/mooc-mooc-critical-pedagogy/">http://www.hybridpedagogy.com/mooc-mooc-critical-pedagogy/</a>)
by following the posts of some friends (Maha Bali, Simon Ensor and Keith Hamon).
There has been much discussion on Freire and bell hooks – and just how tricky
it can be to implement critical pedagogy in real life classrooms – they asked:</span></span>
</div>
<ul style="margin-top: 0cm;" type="disc">
<li class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; mso-list: l2 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list 36.0pt;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Is the
primary effort of education bent toward the humanization of its
participants (learners and educators alike)? If it is not, should it be?
What does humanization look like as curricula, as syllabi, as lesson plan?</span></span></li>
</ul>
<ul style="margin-top: 0cm;" type="disc">
<li class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; mso-list: l3 level1 lfo2; tab-stops: list 36.0pt;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">If it is not
our task to “make deposits” into students’ minds, to reinforce learner
passivity, but rather to spark inquiry, where is the best place to start?</span></span></li>
</ul>
<ul style="margin-top: 0cm;" type="disc">
<li class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; mso-list: l1 level1 lfo3; tab-stops: list 36.0pt;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">How are we
teaching, really, and how are we relating to the world, really? Do we walk
the walk we want to walk, the walk we say we walk?</span></span></li>
</ul>
<ul style="margin-top: 0cm;" type="disc">
<li class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo4; tab-stops: list 36.0pt;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">If, as Freire
points out, the “teacher’s thinking is authenticated only by the
authenticity of the students’ thinking” (58), what process might we follow
to foster authentic thinking — in the classroom as much as in professional
spaces?</span></span></li>
</ul>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Movements in space and time</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Recently our University moved from 15-week to 30-week courses: in moving
from modules to courses, some of us found that this small change in space
and time arrangements allowed us the space and time to at least attempt to
implement something that is at least informed by Freire and hooks and Illich
(and Holt) and Dewey – but also by Carl Rogers… and for us in particular this
meant that our module ‘Becoming an Educationalist: reading, writing and
enquiry’ – could not just enter into dialogue with students about what an
educationalist could be in the world – and how – and why… It also allowed us to
shape something that fosters belonging and human connections between the
students – it allows the space and time to foster creativity and fun and play –
as well as criticality and dialogue… and we hope that the processes involved
also allows the module to act as a tool or lens for participants to use to
critique their previous educational experiences – in ways that critically
inform their own future practice. We blog about the course each week: <a href="https://becomingeducational.wordpress.com/">https://becomingeducational.wordpress.com/</a>
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>- and we encourage the students to blog
their learning to develop their own playful, powerful academic voices.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">We are the ‘other’</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Our University is a Widening Participation university – and attracts
those students who do typically get called broken or lazy or ‘less able’ – but
who are really just less inducted into the traditional academic forms,
processes and procedures… The goal of a module like ‘Becoming’ on paper could
be that we re-territorialise (D&G) these perhaps ‘un-inducted’ students –
that we tame them – fix them – and get them all set up for their education
deposits; what we hope is that the passion and the play of the module and their
blogs and the spaces created - enables the students to narrate themselves as
they become ‘academic’ on their own terms.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Share the love?</span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Develop a digital me</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">In January 2013 I enrolled on <st1:city w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Edinburgh</st1:place></st1:city>’s #edcmooc and
my life changed. I had long been a sceptic in terms of Government and
Institutional e-learning POLICY (see if you wish Burns, Sinfield & Holley
(2009) ‘A journey into silence: a textual analysis of the government’s “Harnessing
Technology” document – exploring the relationship between policy, pedagogy and
the student experience’ in: Social Responsibility Journal Vol 5 No 4 2009 pp
566-574). It’s not just that I found the policy document itself reductionist in
the extreme (though it was!) – I found that the way it appeared to be militated
and implemented within institutions wrung out all the joy and potential of that
which technology could bring: Hey – this time students really could produce
their own multi-modal messages – they could harness a form that facilitated a
multiplicity of ways to understand – to communicate – to be creative – to think
– to explore… It could be so much more than that which is squeezed into a VLE
or an MLE. It is so much more than surveillance and analytics… or it could be.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">But, typically, it appeared that staff were
not given the space and time to play with the new technology – they were
definitely not brought into collegiate groups to have the space and time to
play together – to explore and experiment – to build and break – to make
mistakes and learn from them.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Instead the experiences I heard from
discipline staff across the HE spectrum was that they were under-resourced in
time and technology – and continually told that they were not good enough –
they were failing – they were not *e*-enough - they had not done enough… they
were bad!</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Now whilst this might have been interesting
in terms of discipline academics experiencing for themselves what University
felt like for many of their students (especially what are deemed
non-traditional students) – it did not feel like a great way to develop an
approach to ‘blended learning’ that would nurture their or their students’
positive development. And it definitely did not feel like<span class="MsoHyperlink"> joyful learning.</span></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">So – I did #edcmooc and it was brilliant.
It was collegiate – there was play – there was fun – there was trial and error
(oh you should have seen my first digital artefact!! So bad!!) … and then there were
some great #artmoocs – and then #rhizo14 – and #ccourses… and I have tried to
bring some of that back for my students – to see if the passion and the play
could happen in our classrooms as well.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Initially we got our students ‘blogging to
learn’ – as we did in #edcmooc and beyond. And they blogged – and they were
funny and human – and occasionally outraged and human – and they narrated
themselves – all of themselves – as they became academic – and they found their
voices – and their essays were great – because they had something to say – and
they knew we wanted them to say it… (and - whisper it – not a plagiarised word
in sight!).</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Then this year we launched ‘Develop a
Digital Me’ – and booked the students into an ICT suite for one-hour per week for
ten weeks – and with their Peer Mentors. The first weeks were designed to help
them set up their blogs… and then the hope was that something creative and
digital and personal would emerge – with a Poster Exhibition and demonstrations
set for week 12 – the last week of term.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">There was some confusion and self-doubt –
but we seeded their thinking with some #edcmooc artefacts and Terry Elliot’s
zeega on learning – and then left them to it (see <a href="https://becomingeducational.wordpress.com/">https://becomingeducational.wordpress.com/</a>
) – and boy were we impressed with the results! Our friend Chris O’Reilly came
along for the session – and he liked it so much he went and built a website for
us – and he captured some pix of the day – and pix of the Posters – and we are
trying to get all the Digital things there too – do have a look and tell me
what you think!</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 12pt;">I
had just finished drafting a blog post for our first year #becomingeducational
students when I saw this challenge – and I thought I would share ‘the blog wot
I wrote’ – below – and a few thoughts about staff blogging for students.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 12pt;">Last
year when we first started our course blog (rather than just uploading
PPT slides to our VLE) we were a bit clunky in our own writing… we often
started with a recap of the what, why and how of the lesson … Funny really
because we wanted our students to blog to develop their academic voice and
power in a way that was ‘theirs’ that was them – all of them as they were – but
also the them they were becoming… We theorised this as quasi-academic writing
that allowed them to playfully and wholly perform themselves as they became the
academic they wanted to be (not necessarily the neutered academic that more
formal writing might process them into being).</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;">And
– yes – we felt this process ‘worked’: students blogged – they had something to
say – and in the end even the most truculent of them wanted to have their say
about the course – about the assignments – and about themselves. Not a
plagiarised word in sight!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;">But
we changed too. We started to find our voices and ourselves – we started to
become the academics we wanted to be. (Cool.)<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;">So
this year – we began blogging with a more freeform ‘voice’ trying to connect
with and better engage with our student readers… and suddenly writing promotes *our* learning – and we begin to say some of the tacit taken for granted things
that need to be said.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Anyway
– this week we asked our students to explore the University as a site and sites
of learning – ready for a Poster Presentation in a couple of weeks time – and –
oh yes – because we wanted them to SEE – to see differently – to see the taken
for granted stuff about education – about *their* education… and to start to
think about what they might want to do about ‘that’. So here’s what the process
of blogging helped us to write:<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;">#becomingeducational
W5: look – see<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;">This
week, W5, Study Week, we asked you to explore the University as a
representation of learning, teaching and assessment – and as a site or sites of
learning. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;">We
wanted you to develop your ability to observe – to really look and see what might
be happening somewhere – and perhaps see it as if for the first time. Real
‘seeing’ allows us to bring fresh eyes to things that we may have previously
taken for granted. Our new sight can give us fresh insight. This is a great
tool for a researcher and perhaps is especially essential for the education
researcher: after all, we’ve all been through school; we all ‘know’ what
education, teaching and learning are all about – don’t we?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Well
– perhaps we don’t.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;">After
all we enter schooling very young – and the schooling we get shapes our
experience and our understanding of what schooling is – can – and should - be.
However, as we become educationalists – perhaps we need to see what education
actually *is* - socially, politically and, yes, economically. Perhaps we need
to really see what it is and what effect it is having – and keep asking, who
and what is education for? Whose interests are served when education takes
place like this? Could it be different? Could it be better? What would ‘better’
look like?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Participant
Observation<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;">We
asked you to really look – to see – to observe – and to start to analyse. You
were acting like anthropologists studying a new culture – and we are looking
forward to your findings. We mentioned ‘participant observation’ – this is where
somebody who is participating in an experience also tries to observe it. So as
University students looking at University learning and teaching spaces – you
were participant observers. On the other hand, you were not participating in
the group discussions or the corridor or canteen discussions that you were
observing. In preparation for your research project you might like to adopt the
stance of a participant observer in your lectures and seminars, in your own
study groups, in your peer mentoring encounters. As you do this you might start
to see what works well in promoting student learning – and perhaps what works
not so well. This might inspire you and help you to choose a research focus in
which you are really interested. Below is an account of how a study support
teacher prepared for her job by becoming a participant observer in her school.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Those
Research Projects – again<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;">For
your research project we will ask you to investigate an aspect of University
teaching and learning in more detail. After experiencing being a student for
some time, you might find that you might want to explore particular practices
like reading and notemaking or group work or attitudes to assessment or
writing. You might come up with a completely different idea. We will be preparing
for this together in class – and the proposal is not due till W19 – but keep
your eyes open now – and use your Passion.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;">What
brings you joy? What breaks your heart? How can you use this to design your
projects? Check out this video on Passion Based Learning in the school sector: <a href="http://youtu.be/6kgdHp5amUM">http://youtu.be/6kgdHp5amUM</a> - and think
how you can use your passions here and now.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

was because the period was spent taking a test. So, I don’t mean to imply
critically that only the teachers droned on while students just sat and took

because you understand part of what they are reacting to is sitting and

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS';">#ccourses has suggested that we ‘leverage our why’ – and Jonathan Worth
said we ask others to help with the HOW.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">So - HOW?!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">We are lecturers in an institution that reaches out into our local communities. Our students are often described as ‘fish out of water’
(Bourdieu and Wacquant 1992), swimming in educational currents composed
of regimes of inspection and the over-riding narratives of assessment, SATs,
League Tables, OFSTED, moral panics about plagiarism – and the ‘dumbing down’
of education: <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">There are Mickey Mouse students for whom Mickey Mouse degrees are quite
appropriate (Starkey in Brockes ‘Taking the mick’ The Guardian, [online] 15
January 2003).</span></i><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"> <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">They are re-territorialising tricky academic space (Deleuze &
Guattari1987/2005) – and do not get an easy ride. More than ever they need to experience connection – engagement –
inspiration – creativity and joy… <o:p></o:p></span></div>

ALDinHE, (#loveld, #studychat) - and #edcmooc, #rhizo14, #ccourses … BUT we
know that many staff in HE generally are feeling pretty battered and bruised
right now. As with the students, they, too, experience regimes of control and
surveillance: targets and strategies; Performance Review; Academic Work
Allocation Model. Every hour is mapped and measured and there is no time to ‘be
with’ students. Overworked and under-valued, they do not feel trusted – they may
not feel trust. How can we celebrate and sustain creative emancipatory
practices …in this cold HE climate (Sinfield, Burns and Holley 2003)? <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS';">I just loved the discussion between
Mike Wesch, Randy Best and Cathy Davidson on ‘The end (purpose) of HE’ –
launched by a share of their best teaching experiences.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">For Randy it was working with
architecture students in a Studio mode. The students came to work not to listen
– and the Crits provided authentic contexts and audience for the work in
progress – and the students were fearless about revision – prepared to go and
cut 90% of work-in-progress and to improve and produce their best work.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">For Mike it was the time he and his
Anthropology Class moved into a Retirement Community and lived and breathed
meaningful ‘anthropology in action’, where: ‘something special happened’.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">For Cathy it was returning to a 21<sup>st</sup>
Century Literacies Class to find that the students had torn up the Learning
Contracts – because they wanted to do more. That year they produced a de facto
textbook on the course – the following year they generated a MOOC… <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">This sense of engagement – of excitement
– of authenticity – of wanting to go further – work harder… definitely seems at
the heart of great teaching and learning.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS";">Check
out: <a href="http://connectedcourses.net/thecourse/why-we-need-a-why/">http://connectedcourses.net/thecourse/why-we-need-a-why/</a>
for great video discussion – and this topic’s questions:<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<i><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: #333399; font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">So what is the real “why” of your course? Why should students take it?
How will they be changed by it? What is your discipline’s real “why”? Why does
it matter that students take __________ courses or become _________ists? How
can digital and networked technologies effectively support the real why of your
course?<o:p></o:p></span></i></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<i><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: #333399; font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">Write down your real why, share it in the make bank, and frame it in a
blog post that explains your story and inspiration. These can be in the form of
student learning objectives, but do not feel constrained by whether your
objectives are measurable, realistic, or reasonable. Explore your own depths to
find reasons you did not even realize were there — or reasons you have never
been able to put into words. And, if you can’t quite put your reasons into
words, share a story or picture that somehow conveys your otherwise
inexpressible thoughts.<o:p></o:p></span></i></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<b><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS";">Why we need a why – my why<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS";">Loved
learning – hated school! Hated the power and the lack of power – hated the
never knowing WHY – felt fearful, trapped and constrained – and thought: this
cannot be all there is!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS";"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS";">Had
wonderful experiences at <i>Tottenham Tech</i> and the <i>Polytechnic of North London</i> –
and thought, THAT’S more like it!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS";">This
seems to have lured me into becoming an educationalist and a learning
developer.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS";">I
want to enable spaces for students to learn, laugh, think, speak, discover,
have fun, experience joy, get connected, be with each other and be with their
subject.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS";">Recently
was gifted the opportunity with my partner, Tom, to develop and deliver a
30-week module, <i>Becoming an
Educationalist </i>(<a href="http://becomingeducational.wordpress.com/2014/10/03/becomingeducational-1/">http://becomingeducational.wordpress.com/2014/10/03/becomingeducational-1/</a>),
and suddenly we had the time and space to create a course with the time and
space to explore the potential and joys of learning and teaching… drawing in
all the ideas from our experiences, philosophies, politics, lived life – and
MOOCs (#edcmooc, #artmooc, #artinquiry, #rhizo14 – and now #ccourses).<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS";">We
hope that the students will be intrigued, excited, stimulated, engaged… We hope
that they will work hard because somehow when you want it and you’re engaged,
it’s not ‘work’.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS";">We
want to sing and dance and laugh and fly… Wish us ‘bon voyage’!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS';">Boom!
Another academic year – another load of too much to do and too little time –
Soooooo... started another course – #ccourses14! (I have the feeling that *course*
is an oxymoron in this context – but that is a good thing!) and for the next
few weeks the focus of this blog will be co-learning and the co-creation of
knowledge in a connected world.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS";">If <b><i>you</i></b>
are completely new to online courses and blogging to learn – don’t be put off
by not knowing anyone else on the course yet. It is very easy to make friends
in these spaces. The trick is to *like*, *Comment*, *re-tweet* and *favourite*
the messages that people start to post on and about the course. This is the way
that we touch base with each other and build connections, trust and dialogue.
The knowledge emerges and develops through these very connections. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS";">I am
lucky because many people that I’ve seen on other happy courses (you know who
you are #edcmooc and #rhizo14!!) are here – as are people that I have spotted
on the almost mythical #ds106. I am looking forward to co-learning with these
peeps.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS";">The

first task is to try to connect this blog to the course list – with the
appropriate RSS feed. I have never managed that before! I listened to the
instructions on adding the RSS feed – and decided immediately to do the simple
link this first time, that is, I will *only* cover #ccourses14 in this blog cos
if you cover the course in a multi-topic blog the instructions were WAY too complicated
for me!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 14.0pt;">We
hope that <i>Becoming</i>, whilst intensive,
thought-provoking and, hopefully, challenging - was also playful; that we
created space for us to ‘play to learn’. As Winnicott (1971) says – play is
vital to counter the implicit threat of those tricky transitional spaces. And –
I bet you all know about Winnicott now – eh?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
