Creating Collaborative eLearning Environments
From Ideation to Ecology
Abstract:This session will focus on building constructivist eLearning communities through open source eLearning systems.
In this session we will:
Glance at the Enterprise collaborative eLearning environments Mahara Sakai, and Confluence and open source mash- ups using TeamBox for Collaborative Project Management, Tumblr and Endnote for mobile learning.
Discuss how to set up student driven CLE's in your classrooms, schools, and communities for project based eLearning.
Have ample sandbox time with your choice of TeamBox, Mahara, Sakai, and Confluence instances.
See what's on the horizon for Project Based eLearning and CLE's.

Use technology, including the Internet, to produce, publish, and update individual or shared writing products in response to ongoing feedback, including new arguments or information.
Our goal is that Maine students will be the most technologicallyliterate in the world.
-Maine Department of Education
As foundational ICT skills penetrate throughout our society, students will be expected to apply the basics in authentic, integrated ways to solve problems, complete projects, and creatively extend their abilities.
Every school in the state has developed a partnership with a school in another country to which students and teachers connect virtually.

What does it take to create collaborative eLearning environments
an Introduction
CLE's are based on a student centric (integrative) learning praxis (constructavist, constructionist).
• Commitment to Project Based eLearning: management: clear targets, student created timelines, assessment for learning: formative assessment, feedback cycle, summative or exhibition assessment aimed towards growth and mastery of essential skills.
• Longevity in systems: An ePortfolio archive for K-12! Learners investment and window into growth
• Willingness to scaffold student deliberation, decision making, and emotion spurned by the discovery and use of socially relevant issues oriented problems in the curriculum.
• Willingness to allow learners to plan and co-create curricula (varies by age and project).
Support
• Trust in students
• Active and able colleagues, personal learning networks, leadership.
• Innovative IT personel
Passion for learning
• How do you hear and listen to young people? Do you believe they will rise to any and all reasonable expectations?
