Jonathan Shaw gave a presentation on opening the doors to visible and connected learning. He advocated for more open, engaged, visible and collaborative approaches to education using digital tools and networks. Some key ideas were establishing new rules through open experiences; having conversations with communities before formal classes; and principles of being open, sharing resources, and acting as a hub rather than just a supplier of information. Links and resources from the talk were made available for further discussion.

“There is a lot of the ‘education is broken’ meme
around at the moment, and you should always
ask ‘what do they have to gain from it being
so?’. You'll usually find it's someone selling a
new single solution to education.
Which is not to say everything is fine. But I think
all of these things (elearning, MOOCs, Flipped)
are much better couched in terms of
opportunity than crisis.”

invent and institute approaches to
Open Education that are pragmatic
yet critical, ambitious about their
visibility yet inventive and
experimental.”

In fact, the more engaging social media
becomes, the less scale it delivers. Think
about it. We all know that social media is
essentially conversational and
personalised. But conversations only
work with a small group of people: the
more people you add to a conversation
(the more scale you add to it), the less
effective it becomes.
