What I know before this: I never even thought about schools being a social thing at all! What I want to learn about this: I didnt even set out to want to think about this! What I have learnt about this: LOADS, as usual! Firstly - about how relationally we exist: Dron, J. & Anderson, T. (2014). Teaching crowds: Learning and social media. Athabasca University Press. Fig 3.1, Page 73 Learning the definitions: Tagging the right social software to the correct social form and their respective characteristics: I think a picture tells a thousand words. If I were addressing a group, due to the motivations of how the group was set up, the use of MOOCS/LMS would not be effective for "Sets" purely because they did not come into this form to learn structured knowledge, whereas for a "Group" e.g. a class etc with a formal structure, there would be a motivation to learn things, get a particular grade/cert to pass out. Twitter would have the opposite effect. As such, it would ...
What did I know before this: I actually assumed I knew what blended learning was, in my simplistic mind. I didnt think there was that much to explore. What do I want to know? I didnt think I needed to learn any more things actually, I had thought that I have "been there, done that". I know what it is, what is there to learn? What did I learn I learnt so much. Firstly, that blended learning doesnt always means online learning. Online learning doesnt always mean it is asynchronous, neither is blended learning always asynchronous. Then there is also hybrid learning. So so much! In summary, I think that the best thing to do is to first determine what it is we want students to learn. Blended learning is a category of learning (as opposed to traditional learning) whereas online learning, hybrid learning etc is the method of delivering the material / content. For example, for those which require the training of a skill, for example, history-taking in medicine, then one ...
