STARTING PERISCOPE SESSION@TERAKNOR
OUR CLASSROOM HAS ESCAPED
MONOLITHIC LEARNING▸ the enclosed world of the
classroom/lab/lecture
▸ the enclosed world of the distance learning module
▸ even MOOC’s are (kind of) self contained
OUR CLASSROOM HAS ESCAPED
LEAKING FOR THE LAST TEN YEARS▸ Since the adoption of social
media classrooms (real and virtual) have been escaping
▸ Most of this is great … some of it - not so good
▸ Groups, pages, communities have all formed - if you an OU module chair - check Facebook, Google+ or LinkedIN there may be a group discussing your module
IT IS THE UNSTOPPABLE DISRUPTIVE LOCOMOTIVE
OUR CLASSROOM HAS ESCAPED
EMBRACE THE LOCOMOTIVE▸ The only constant in the
universe is change … get used to it.
▸ It is happening, it has been happening and it continues
▸ Our students are doing it - lets join in - look for the back channels
▸ WE ARE TOO PROTECTIVE OF OUR CONTENT - understand that we now have a freemium learning culture
STOP TREATING OUR CONTENT LIKE ANOTHER BRICK IN THE WALL.misused & abused PINK FLOYD

via social media

COMPLIMENTARY MICROCONTENT▸ Multiple knowledge nuggets per
day
▸ Short videos on Periscope and YouTube
▸ Micro-podcasts on Soundcloud
▸ Animated GIF’s (old school yet so new wave)
▸ Images (of course)
▸ Links to articles, blogs and useful content
AUTOMATING OUR SOCIAL MEDIA CONTENT
OUR CLASSROOM HAS ESCAPED
AUTOMATIC TIMED POSTING▸ Follows the classroom /
distance learning content flow
▸ Used on @OUCisco and @OUCyberSec
▸ Preplanned, prepared and easy to load into the ‘machine’.
AND THE COMMUNITY IS ENGAGED
OUR CLASSROOM HAS ESCAPED
COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT▸ Both students and non-students
engage
▸ you will easily generate a wider community of interest
OUR CLASSROOM HAS ESCAPED
THOUGHTS▸ How can we enhance our
teaching by allowing our classrooms to escape?
▸ What social media would sync best?
▸ Could we teach a course/concept entirely by social media?
