Learning from learning from cyberspace
This post is a response to Cousin, G. (2005) Learning from cyberspace in Land, R. and Bayne, S. (eds) Education in cyberspace. London, RoutledgeFalmer. pp. 117-129. It’s probably only a Google Scholar search away for those of you with an ac.uk login, but unfortunately not for the rest of you.
What’s wrong with the PLE?
The final part of the little whiney series of posts I’ve been on this month is about the PLE. To me it seems like the digital extension of all of the ideas around personalising that have been discussed for improving learning more generally.
“the relationship between personalisation and digital technologies has the potential to reshape the education system around the learner and to enable the learner’s voice to be heard” (Green, Facer, et all).
What is wrong with the ePortfolio?
Continuing the theme from last week, I’ve moved on to think about issues surrounding ePortfolios. At the simplest level an ePortfolio is an online record of student achievement. Barrett neatly defines it as “a purposeful collection of … work that illustrates efforts, progress, and achievement in one or more areas over time.” In general the content tends to be written, but there is nothing to restrict students to text.
