This talk identifies the methodological challenges of trying to satisfy multiple stakeholders when evaluating learning and technology use in informal settings. A method for achieving this is proposed based on the specification of a semiotic and a technological space, and referring to Engesgtrom's (1987) extended model of human activity.]]>

Open Educational Resources and Learning Spaces: Abstract Josie Taylor The Open University Abstract Education, and in particular higher education, has seen rapid change as learning institutions have had to adapt to the opportunities provided by the Internet to move more of their teaching online and to become more flexible in how they operate. However, whilst many institutions across the world have made content available in OER, we believe that higher education needs to prepare itself to exist in a more open future by embracing openness and the implications for change entailed. The Open University started its open content initiative, OpenLearn, in 2006, and has attracted more than 11 million unique visitors. Studies carried out across OpenLearn users included analysis of user behaviour, targeting those who used the site more heavily, supported by follow-up interviews and monitoring of activities taking place with the open content. The results from one of these studies (n = 2,011) highlighted two distinct clusters of learners: "volunteer" students and "social" learners. The volunteer students sought the content they wanted to learn from, and they expected to work through it. These learners were most interested in more content, tools for self-assessment, and ways to reflect on their individual learning. The social learners were less motivated to work through the content. Rather, they seem to see learning as a way to meet people with shared interests. This cluster of learners ranked communication tools more highly and were more interested in advanced features on the website. In this talk, I will relate these findings to other research in digital literacies, as well as to studies which try to understand learner behaviour, outlining how we can develop our practice to support these two very distinct kinds of users. ]]>

The Open University is exploring the development of pathways between more open and informal learning and formal learning, and is changing the nature of audience and learner interaction and participation, through the creative use of open educational resources and different media channels. Developing from the University’s main hosting website for open educational resources (http://openlearn.open.ac.uk/), the OU is extending its reach into Africa, as well as transforming teaching and learning practice in the UK. Other media channels (e.g. YouTube and ITunesU) allow us to explore how to engage different audiences in different ways to bring them into the educational sphere. Within the Institute, we have large projects running which also bring learning to wider audiences, allowing us to understand much more about how learners work with open educational resources, both in terms of consumption and creation, allowing them to cross many apparent boundaries between formal, informal, non-formal content, learner and teacher, guide and mentor, personal and institutional.]]>

IET ensures that the Open University is a leader in open approaches to learning and teaching based on understanding what is possible; trying out ideas, and reflecting on what happens and why. The Institute also ensures that the Open University is a world leader in research in educational technology. The themes for our research are: Digital Scholarship (led by Martin Weller); Learning in an Open World (led by Grainne Conole) and Next Generation Distance Learning (led by Agnes Kukulska-Hulme). iet.open.ac.uk/people/view-profile.cfm?staff_id=j.taylor https://cdn.slidesharecdn.com/ss_thumbnails/learningtechnologyandcollaborationinmobileenvironments-120411150101-phpapp01-thumbnail.jpg?width=320&height=320&fit=bounds slideshow/learning-technology-and-collaboration-in-mobile-environments/12505061 Learning, technology a... https://cdn.slidesharecdn.com/ss_thumbnails/josietaylorridetalk-120411145102-phpapp01-thumbnail.jpg?width=320&height=320&fit=bounds slideshow/open-educational-resources-and-learning-spaces/12504963 Open Educational Resou... https://cdn.slidesharecdn.com/ss_thumbnails/e-assessmenttaylor2011-120411143512-phpapp01-thumbnail.jpg?width=320&height=320&fit=bounds JosieTaylor/e-assessment-taylor2011-12504779 E assessment taylor2011
