“Web 2.0 tools exist that might allow academics to reflect
and reimagine what they do as scholars. Such tools might
  positively affect -- even transform - research, teaching,
  and service responsibilities - only if scholars choose to
 build serious academic lives online, presenting semi-
public selves and becoming invested in and connected
 to the work of their peers and students.” (Greenhow,
                  Robelia, & Hughes, 2009)
Open Teaching
Open Tenure/Promotion App.
Open Journal
“The Open Scholar is someone who makes their
intellectual processes digitally visible and who invites and
encourages ongoing criticism of their work and secondary
       uses of any or all parts of it -- at any stage of its
              development.” (Burton, G., 2009)
“People don’t buy what
              you do. They buy why you
                    do it.” (2010)

“Linux is subversive. Who would have
   thought even five years ago that a
  world-class operating system could
coalesce as if by magic out of part-time
      hacking by several thousand
    developers scattered all over the
   planet, connected by only tenuous
         strands of the Internet.”
               (Raymond, 1997)
“Gift cultures are adaptations not
             to scarcity but to abundance ....
               Abundance makes command
              relationships difficult to sustain
              and exchange relationships an
               almost pointless game. In gift
                  cultures, social status is
                determined not by what you
               control, but by what you give
                        away. (1997)

“60 hours of video are uploaded every
    minute, or one hour of video is
 uploaded to Youtube every second.”

           “Over 4 billion videos are viewed a day.”

“Over 800 million unique users visit
      Youtube every month.”

             “More video is uploaded to YouTube in
            one month that the 3 major US networks
                      created in 60 years.”

Free/Open Content
  “describes any kind of creative work in a
  format that explicitly allows copying and
 modifying of its information by anyone, not
exclusively by a closed organization, firm, or
           individual.” (Wikipedia)

“Today knowledge is free.
                It’s like air, it’s like water...
                   There’s no competitive
                   advantage in knowing
                more than the person next
                 to you. The world doesn’t
                care what you know. What
                  the world cares about is
                what you can do with what
                      you know.” (2012)

“Publishing is not evolving. Publishing is going away.
  Because the word “publishing” means a cadre of
   professionals who are taking on the incredible
  difficulty and complexity and expense of making
something public. That’s not a job anymore. That’s a
button. There a button that says “publish”, and when
      you press it, it’s done.” (Shirky, C.., 2012)

                   •   “Understanding how
                       networks work is one of
                       the most important
                       literacies of the 21st

memes
“The gene has it’s cultural analog too: the
 meme. In cultural evolution, a meme is a
    replicator and propagator - an idea, a
   fashion, a chain letter, or a conspiracy
 theory. On a bad day, a meme is a virus”

“To answer your question, I did use
  Youtube to learn how to dance. I
   consider it my ‘main’ teacher.”

         “10 years ago, street dance was very
    exclusive, especially rare dances like popping
      (the one I teach and do). You either had to
     learn it from a friend that knew it or get VHS
        tapes which were hard to get. Now with
     Youtube, anyone, anywhere in the world can
       learn previously ‘exclusive’ dance styles.”

“I was able to go out and learn
  throughout the entire week,
   the entire year, and I’m still
     learning with everyone.”



                             “The best part of the course is
                              that it’s not ending. With the
                               connections we’ve built, it
                                    never has to end.”
What We Learned

•   Open access, low-cost, high impact.

•   Courses become shared, global, learning events.

•   Students immersed in a greater learning community.

•   Value in open spaces vs. walled gardens.

•   Learning spaces controlled and/or owned by students.

•   Pedagogy focused on connecting & interactions.

•   Development of sustainable, long-term, learning
    connections.

Text
“The developed world is in
                  the midst of a paradigm
                   shift both in the ways in
                        which people and
                institutions are connected.
                     It is a shift from being
                 bound up in homogenous
                 “little boxes” to surfing life
                through diffuse, variegated
@barrywellman     social networks.” (2002)

Break Down the Walls

  • 1. Break Down the Walls How Social Networks & Openness Are Transforming Teaching & Learning Dr. Alec Couros - June 13, 2012 University of Victoria
  • 3. me
  • 14. “Web 2.0 tools exist that might allow academics to reflect and reimagine what they do as scholars. Such tools might positively affect -- even transform - research, teaching, and service responsibilities - only if scholars choose to build serious academic lives online, presenting semi- public selves and becoming invested in and connected to the work of their peers and students.” (Greenhow, Robelia, & Hughes, 2009)
  • 18. “The Open Scholar is someone who makes their intellectual processes digitally visible and who invites and encourages ongoing criticism of their work and secondary uses of any or all parts of it -- at any stage of its development.” (Burton, G., 2009)
  • 19. “People don’t buy what you do. They buy why you do it.” (2010) @simonsinek
  • 21. knowledge • what is k? • how is k acquired? • how do we know what we know? • why do we know what we know? • what do humans know? • who controls k? • how is k controlled?
  • 22. human thought/ideas human language source code high-level language (e.g. C++, Java, PERL) low-level language (assembly language) code irretrievable machine code (binary)
  • 24. “Linux is subversive. Who would have thought even five years ago that a world-class operating system could coalesce as if by magic out of part-time hacking by several thousand developers scattered all over the planet, connected by only tenuous strands of the Internet.” (Raymond, 1997)
  • 25. “Gift cultures are adaptations not to scarcity but to abundance .... Abundance makes command relationships difficult to sustain and exchange relationships an almost pointless game. In gift cultures, social status is determined not by what you control, but by what you give away. (1997) @esrtweet
  • 35. “60 hours of video are uploaded every minute, or one hour of video is uploaded to Youtube every second.” “Over 4 billion videos are viewed a day.” “Over 800 million unique users visit Youtube every month.” “More video is uploaded to YouTube in one month that the 3 major US networks created in 60 years.”
  • 37. Free/Open Content “describes any kind of creative work in a format that explicitly allows copying and modifying of its information by anyone, not exclusively by a closed organization, firm, or individual.” (Wikipedia)
  • 39. “Today knowledge is free. It’s like air, it’s like water... There’s no competitive advantage in knowing more than the person next to you. The world doesn’t care what you know. What the world cares about is what you can do with what you know.” (2012) @drtonywagner
  • 41. From  NAGPS  (2011)  via  h4p://bit.ly/oIwVut

  • 44. “Publishing is not evolving. Publishing is going away. Because the word “publishing” means a cadre of professionals who are taking on the incredible difficulty and complexity and expense of making something public. That’s not a job anymore. That’s a button. There a button that says “publish”, and when you press it, it’s done.” (Shirky, C.., 2012)
  • 46. 46
  • 47. 47
  • 54. Network Literacies • “Understanding how networks work is one of the most important literacies of the 21st century.” (2010) Howard Rheingold
  • 61. Remix
  • 62. Kutiman-Thru-you - 01 - Mother of All Funk Chords http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tprMEs-zfQA
  • 63. Meaningful Projects “Dear Photograph:Thank you for everything we had.”
  • 66. memes “The gene has it’s cultural analog too: the meme. In cultural evolution, a meme is a replicator and propagator - an idea, a fashion, a chain letter, or a conspiracy theory. On a bad day, a meme is a virus” Lowenstein, 1999
  • 70. “...for all the money, tax revenue and intelligence that Western governments have at their disposal (they) seemingly cannot get their heads around a simple enough concept that wherever one is, someone is watching and recording.” Zack Whitaker
  • 82. shifts in edtech Group growth Individual growth Objectivism Cognitivism Constructivism (Leinonen) (Schwier) Social Learning
  • 84. “A key to transformation is for the teaching profession to establish innovation networks that capture the spirit and culture of hackers - the passion, the can-do, collective sharing.” ~ Hargreaves, 2003
  • 91. “To answer your question, I did use Youtube to learn how to dance. I consider it my ‘main’ teacher.” “10 years ago, street dance was very exclusive, especially rare dances like popping (the one I teach and do). You either had to learn it from a friend that knew it or get VHS tapes which were hard to get. Now with Youtube, anyone, anywhere in the world can learn previously ‘exclusive’ dance styles.”
  • 92. Matt Kirk Nick
  • 99. how are you making learning visible?
  • 100. how are you contributing to the learning of others?
  • 101. Thinning Walls Private Public Closed Open
  • 112. “I was able to go out and learn throughout the entire week, the entire year, and I’m still learning with everyone.” “The best part of the course is that it’s not ending. With the connections we’ve built, it never has to end.”
  • 113. What We Learned • Open access, low-cost, high impact. • Courses become shared, global, learning events. • Students immersed in a greater learning community. • Value in open spaces vs. walled gardens. • Learning spaces controlled and/or owned by students. • Pedagogy focused on connecting & interactions. • Development of sustainable, long-term, learning connections.
  • 119. Text
  • 120. “The developed world is in the midst of a paradigm shift both in the ways in which people and institutions are connected. It is a shift from being bound up in homogenous “little boxes” to surfing life through diffuse, variegated @barrywellman social networks.” (2002)
  • 122. fixed to place fixed to person
  • 123. “The person has become the portal.” Wellman (2002)
  • 125. Don’t limit a child to your own learning, for he was born in another time. ~Tagore http://couros.ca couros@gmail.com @courosa
