Approach• Dialogue

– You are responsible for your own learning– Teacher as Resource not The Source
• Openness– Resources and Practice
• Social Construction of Knowledge– “Connectivism”– Make connections
• Personal Learning Networks (PLN)– Sustain connections
• Research-informed
Research
The goal of the research is to evaluate the learner experience of the MOOC in order to stimulate discussion amongst the educational development community about the benefits, opportunities and risks of this approach.

REFLECTIVE PRACTICE
Marion Waite1545-1600
Reflection- Contribution and Critique
• What do we learn from the Stephen Brookfield ‘reflective lenses’?
Reflection-what is it?
• An approach to education• A way of gaining evidence from practice• A means of life-long learning• A way of going about practice/a way of
thinking about practice
Key elements
• Central starting point is always practice• Begins with an emotional response to a
practice event• Involves sense-making and action
(double-loop learning)
Reflective practice resources #fslt12

and learners– Lens of students eyes– Lens of colleagues experiences

Dimensions of openness
Openness
• Schedule– Start/stop– Pace

Open Educational Resources
• Broad senseOpen Educational Resources (OER) are teaching and learning materials that are freely available online for everyone to use, whether you are an instructor, student or self-learner.
(OER Commons, http://www.oercommons.org/ )

Open academic practice
Open academic practice
• Distributed collaboration– local and wide-area,
• Social citation• Synchronous and asynchronous online discussion
around open multimedia content• Mobile (nomadic) learning,• Widening access and social/global justice,• Pedagogy
– Inquiry-led, Research-based, Evidence-informed– Modelling practice in professional communities
• We believe that open academic practice is an element of best academic practice.
• If we want lecturers and institutions to be among the world’s leading universities, we must adopt open academic practices on an open academic platform.
