Episode 18 Personal Learning Environment PLE
Show notes: I talk about PLEs and informal learning; how they are set to become significant elements for individual development and that of society.
Open Education
Show Notes: Open education and open educational resources (OER) are an area of great interest to me. I’m dedicated to finding useful material and examples and sharing them more widely to allow others to access learning on their own terms.
I talk about Academic Earth post on Never Mind the Pedagogy, and the significance of such resources.
Episode 16 Thank you & my other stuff
Show notes: A big thank you to those who have commented directly to me, and offered encouragement. I’ll keep going.
My other blogs:
Spotty Blue Banana
Never Mind the Pedagogy
Squire Morley (WordPress)
Squire Morley (Blogger)
Episode 15 Radio & community
Show notes: A quick episode talking about the sense of community people can get with radio, and the increase listening figures due in part, I believe, to the immediacy afforded to listeners by the use of technology to participate in that community.
Episode 14 Backchannel or Badchannel?
Show notes: I talk about what the backchannel is and how it is increasingly used at conference presentations, and how it isn’t always useful, something I term the “badchannel”.
I’ve blogged about the usefulness and potential applications of backchannel and backchanneling in Never Mind the Pedagogy and Squire Morley (wp).
Episode 13 Copysafe music and photos
Show notes: I talk about how to access photos and music that you can use safely without infringing copyright.
I’ve written about stock photos in my Squire Morley (wp) blog
For music you need to be looking at podsafe sites, a couple being:
- MusicAlley from the Mevio stable
- PodsafeAudio
I also came across this video from Penn State that shows the implications for students in their coursework using appropriate material.
Episode 12 The Human Filter
Show Notes: In episode 9 I talked about information overload or inefficient filtering. Here I talk about the human filter and how individuals and networks can add value more widely by quickly accessing material and repackaging it to be easily accessible to others. I take myself as an example.
Episode 10 Copyright or “copywrong” – Look to Lessig
Show notes: Technology is making it easy to re-purpose all available content, especially audio and video. This is becoming an increasingly appealing approach for younger generations. Are existing copyright laws still appropriate? Or are we accidentally criminalising a new generation? I’d suggest watching Lawrence (Larry) Lessig’s TED video; it’s just under 20 minutes long.
Episode 9 Information Overload? Insufficient Filtering more like
Show Notes: A phrase often overused is “information overload”, but is this really the problem? Well the amount of information in this world isn’t going to be reducing anytime soon, so we’re going to need a more efficient means of accessing the stuff that’s interesting and significant to us.
