SP4Ed is a free micro Open Online Course (mOOC) offered by the e-Learning Research Lab at the University of Canterbury in collaboration with the OER Foundation. The two week course will simulate the scenario planning process for navigating uncertain education futures.
The SP4Ed mOOC is offered in parallel with the Change with Digital Technologies in Education course (EDEM630) in the Postgraduate Diploma in Education (e-Learning and Digital Technologies) at the University of Canterbury. OERu learners will be participating with registered EDEM630 students.I've been involved in various Wikieducator efforts over the years, and have always enjoyed the learning experiences that stem from an online community that promotes ongoing cooperation and collaboration around (professional) learning (for more details).
My personal learning network (PLN) is probably best illustrated by visiting my about.me page. My research interests are in researching PLNs and the teaching and learning of an additional language.
My educational philosophy is to facilitate others in becoming more apt to form valid, reliable, and unbiased arguments, provide innovative solutions to real-life problems, make decisions that resolve cognitive conflict by developing understandings through a difference of opinion or perspective, and create innovative ways of communicating with others. My role is to move learners from being dependent, to independent, on to being interdependent individuals who are not afraid to take chances, share their successes and failures with others, and are concerned for the well-being of not only themselves, but for others as well. My goal is to help others become more daring, sharing, and caring individuals.
My goals for this learning (growing) exchange is to become better connected with others who share a similar educational philosophy and to gain further insight into the mechanics (i.e., material-semiotic of ideas, technologies, and social interaction) of conducting such an exchange.
