The document discusses contexts of intercultural collaboration through technology. It provides background on De La Salle University in the Philippines, including that it was established in 1911 and has 10 campuses in the Philippines and 7 outside the main island. The document also discusses theories that support collaboration, such as connectivism and communities of practice. It suggests that designing collaboration tools without borders can help overcome challenges like language barriers and cultural misunderstandings.

- 27. Connectivism (Siemens, 2004) Premise: “Informal learning is a significant aspect of our learning experience.” “Learning is a continual process, lasting for a lifetime.” Many of the processes esp. cognitive processes are performed with the support of technology. Principles of Connectivism: Learning and knowledge rests in diversity of opinions. Learning is a process of connecting specialized nodes or information sources.

Hinweis der Redaktion
- Share the troll joke.Mention your research and teaching background.Tell your objectives.Mention that they can interrupt and ask questions anytime.If it is difficult in English, ask in Swede & somebody will translate.
- Introduction of where I come fromAcknowledgment of the support of University West & my Swedish research partners
- Some basic informationabt the Philippines
- Talk about caring, guidance, mentoring & coaching in the family. Add extended family values.Mention less orphans/orphanages, less homes for the elderlies.
- Some trivia on how (or why) DLSU was established in the Phils.
- Some trivia on how (or why) DLSU was established in the Phils.
- Give first a background of the students—Parents, student age groupsStudents’ self-service learning skillAfter the video, ask what they think of the DLSU student? Are they able to resemble themselves in some aspects?
- I will use this illustration as opening to the idea of collaboration.Talk about lego block and mega block.If the intention and desire are strong, there should be no hurdles.Even within Trollhattan, your group may have individual differences and character, but it doesn’t mean you cannnot be independent or work together.It is more likely that you become creative when you have diverse opinions.OR have better productivity with diverse skills.Ask the students of any experience that they were stopped on the idea of working together bec of some pre-conceived notion abt the other person.
- Each of the them is independent of one another but can be put together in combination as well.
- With the advent of the net-generation people, PLE recognizes that learning as a continuous process needs support tools. And the PLE/PLN is constructed by the learner herself. She or he is responsible in organizing the things he wants to learn or she is learning.It also recognizes that there are several sources of learning, most of them are informal learning.
- Personal learning network or PLE is a new approach in learning. It is a philosophy, a pedagogy. It provides learners space under their own control. It provides a more holistic learning environment providing bringing together sources and context or even separately.
- Diversity and independence are important bec the best collective decisions are the product of disagreement and contest, not consensus or compromise.It figures out how to use mechanisms –like intelligent voting systems or other methods– to aggregate and produce collective judgments that represent not what any person in the group thinks rather, in the same sense, what they all think.The best way for a group to be smart is for each person in it to think and act independently as possible.
- Wenger further cited that from fundamental physiological needs to satisfying safety, social and other pleasure needs, individuals are continuously and constantly pursuing all kinds of “enterprises”. These enterprises permit various forms of learning as interactions with one another and with the world take place. And as learning takes place and different interactions also take stage, “collective learning” results from all of these and leads to collective practices as well. [5] The collective learning and the collective practices are offshoots of the ecosystem of the drive for enterprises. So putting together these ideas—from periphery learning to situated learning, individuals become full participants in the community. The legitimate participation leads to collective learning as well as collective practices.
- Social interaction has three processes—motivational, interactional & structure (about how people’s engagement over time and space creates abstract structures in which their behavior is both enabled or hindered.
