The need for transformation…
“Generally, teachers do not use ICT at all, or if they do, it is often reluctantly, and in a fashion that falls short of its full potential. This hardly represents a transformation of the way we learn.” -Wheeler

Rhizomatic Learning““A rhizomatic plant has no centre
and no defined boundary; rather, it is made up of a number of semi-independent nodes, each of which is capable of growing and spreading on its own, bounded only by the limits of its habitat.”

Rhizomatic Learning
““In the rhizomatic view, knowledge can only be negotiated, [and is] a personal knowledge-creation process with mutable goals and constantly negotiated premises.”

Web 2.0: the Social Web
“The social web is transforming the way people use the Internet to do business, access information and connect with each other. It has revolutionised the way we are entertained, and altered forever the way we learn”.

Live Wiki Example
What do you think are the key benefits of the wiki?
The main benefit is definitely the immediacy and interactivity and the
possibility of sharing and solving problems with an online support group.
(FE)
Vast amount of people on the wiki sites that can help you find that important information.
(ML)
It provides an interactive forum where questions can be asked
and answered both by students and tutors. (ML)
The wiki has helped to develop new IT skills and encourage the
group to interact more. (PR)
The final thing I would like to say is the wiki encourages others on our course to
communicate to each other and in a way that you wouldn't do in email. (HE)
ML = MilitaryPR = PrisonFE = Further EdHE = Higher Ed
What do you consider to be the main limitations of the wiki?
No way of knowing if someone else is on the Wiki other than checking the recent changes
(PR)
…. I find the Wiki too complicated it's easier to just search on the internet to find what you want
and it's quicker. (PR)
I did struggle with the wiki initially e.g. trying to set up links and setting up new pages but I found with a bit of patience and perseverance I was able to do it in the end. Reading the instructions in the
first place helps!!! (HE)
…waiting for a response. Not everyone logs on regularly for various
different reasons mostly very valid ones. (ML)
Any other comments?
As a tool for meeting core elements of an educational training course I see this as a valuable tool. (PR)
The main problem I had was logging on, then apparently
erasing someone’s work accidently (not proven). Since
then I have learnt how to: make links, post messages, add
pictures and make better use of the web space information.
(ML)
If more people use (the) wiki then discussions are likely to be
posted more frequently. (ML)
You are relying on everyone to use it regularly to get the full benefit so users have to be
engaged with it in some way. (HE)
I think the greatest benefit would be when
we've left the course and can't use the student
portal, it would be good to catch up with each
other. (HE)
