We will mostly speak about projects that the panelists have been involved in, but also review how case studies have implemented open pedagogy.
- George Siemens, Connectivism and Connective Knowledge
In fall of 2008, George Siemens and Stephen Downes offered an online course - Connectivism and Connective Knowledge (CCK08) - in an open teaching model. Over 20 learners enrolled in the course for credit and over 2300 learners participated in the course without fee (and without credit). The course pioneered the concept of massive open online courses (MOOC). Lectures, discussions, and guest presentations were accessible to all learners. CCK08 was designed to account for existing online activities of learners. While a centralized learning space was established in Moodle, learners were encouraged to blog, podcast, meet in Second Life (and face-to-face). Patterns of interaction, as well as reactions of participants to increased need for sensemaking and wayfinding through networks, offer a potential model for future online courses. - MOOC (Massive Open Online Course) http://ltc.umanitoba.ca/wiki/Connectivism and http://ltc.umanitoba.ca/connectivism/
