For all I know, these issues … Continue reading "Problem with WP Comments: Help!"
Really interesting challenges posed here: whether an open platform can enhance a well working closed platform; building on previous action learning modes which brings issues of vulnerability for students #TWP15
I want to attempt to address two questions posed as prompts for week 1 of Teaching with WordPress:
What can you do in the context of open that you couldn’t do before?
What’s your biggest challenge in designing for open?
Both of those questions meet me right where I am at, at this moment in time. I am just completing teaching the second of two sections of MSLOC 430 – Creating and Sharing Knowledge, a course that attempts to focus on innovative ways in which organizations might utilize enterprise social networks (ESNs). This past year I experimented with popping the lid off of the course and opening it up a wee bit – first by attempting to run a six-week “open” subset of the course in parallel with my on-campus course and more recently by running a working-out-loud week in conjunction with the course.

The idea, as I understand it, is to create opportunities for cross connections between ideas, resources, people and their networks. The […]

When I traveled recently in Germany on holiday, it was at the end of the #rhizo15 experience, when we were challenged en masse to reconsider learning objectives and even course (learning) content itself. While the formal period of this is now behind us, I find I need some form of closure (even for a course … Continue reading "When My Reality Is THE Reality"
