DESCRIPTION

In this presentation I describe in detail how I created Ed Radio, OLDaily, the first MOOCs, and how I am taking the same distributed and networked approach to develop a personal learning network known as LPSS.

How to Build A Learning Network

Page 37: Creating a Learning Network

The design is based on putting the learner at the center

LPSS Core Projects

Page 39: Creating a Learning Network

Resource Repository Network

• Manage and discover list of sources and resources• Maintain

authentication and credentials • Support APIs and

metadata standards• Gather, analyze and

sort resources and/or metadata

Page 40: Creating a Learning Network

Personal Cloud

• Manage list of local and remote storage systems• Maintain security,

encryption, authentication and credentials • Include local or

personal device storage• Manage and

synchronize resource sets and data

Page 41: Creating a Learning Network

Personal Learning Assistant

• Collect contextual information for system• Display resources of

various formats, inclusing SCORM, LTI, etc.• Support (scaffolded)

authoring environments• Project LPSS capacity

into external software and devices

Page 42: Creating a Learning Network

Competency Recognition and Development

• Import or create competency definitions• Analyze interactions

for skills and learning gaps• Support development

of learning plans• Provide resource and

service recommendations

Page 43: Creating a Learning Network

Personal Learning Record

• Collect full record of interactions with all resources, external systems • Support learning activity data

exchange formats (eg. xAPI)• Collect and present a person’s

personal portfolio• Display certifications and

credentials (eg. badges)• Maintain 3rd party certification

Page 44: Creating a Learning Network

Implementation – from MOOC to Personal Learning•MOOC-REL (OIF)• ALECSO•MINT• SHARE• Badges• Simulator•Workplace T&D

Page 45: Creating a Learning Network

Implementation ProjectsUltimately, the objective is to support individual learning in a network

Why is this important?

• Because technology is not just a tool• It gives us the capacity to do

new things (the ‘affordances argument’)• It represents an extension of

our perceptions (the McLuhan argument)• “We shape technology, and

then technology shapes us”

Page 49: Creating a Learning Network

What kind of learner we become depends on what kind of learning technology we choose
