Rosario. The Role of the Educator in the Digital World. The Role of Open Educational Resources in Personal Learning. [All Presentations] The Role of Open Educational Resources in Personal Learning March 29, 2011 Keynote presentation delivered to Best Practices in Upgrading Online, Calgary, via Adobe Connect. In this talk, I argue that rather than think of OERs as content objects, containing knowledge and information intended for transfer to the student, OERs should be thought of as the raw material a learner works with through the practice of managing their own learning.
More specifically, the role of open educational resources is to function as a vocabulary of multimedia ‘words' with which learners converse with each other and with experts in the field. The main emphasis of this presentationis to speak of the role of OERs in the development of learning networks - these networks that are the characteristic result of conversations, and in which our academic and scientific communities are contained.

The Role of the Educator. Posted in Huffington Post, December 6, 2010. How often do we read about the importance of teachers in education? It must be every day, it seems. We are told about "strong empirical evidence that teachers are the most important school-based determinant of student achievement" again and again.
The problem with the educational system, it is argued, is that teachers need to be held accountable. We are told we must fire incompetent teachers. The problem with focusing on the role of the teacher, from my perspective, is that it misses the point. Let me tell you how I know this. Each of these has contributed in one way or another to an overall approach not only to learning online but to learning generally. It's an approach that emphasizes open learning and learner autonomy. Concordant with this approach has been the oft-repeated consensus that the role of the educator will change significantly.
In my own work, I have stated that the role of the teacher is to "model and demonstrate. " Three Models of Knowledge Production. Originally posted on Half an Hour, March 17, 2010. Harold Jarche weighs in with a much improved version of the model describing personal knowledge management, which now has these as intermediate stages between gathering and distributing:- Filtering (separating signal from noise, based on some criteria)- Validation (ensuring that information is reliable, current or supported by research)- Synthesis (describing patterns, trends or flows in large amounts of information)- Presentation (making information understandable through visualization or logical presentation) Customization (describing information in context) That said, while this is a much better model than this, I think it stays true to the original 'filtering' vision, where you go from data to wisdom through successive filtering processes.
And while there are different ways to think of knowledge - processed, procedural, propositional - this model I think adheres to a more basic view. Here's what I think. We Learn.

Better Education Through Technology. I was in a restaurant in Monterrey when I remarked to a number of colleagues who had joined me about how many staff were in attendance. There were people to guide us to our table, others to offer us a drink menu and obtain our orders from a bartender, still others to take our food order and bring it from the kitchen, where it would be prepared by a culinary staff, still others to remove our plates and refill our drinks, still others to wash the dishes, scour the pots and shine the cutlery, and various managers attending to our needs and making sure all was in order. The same scene is evident on the street as well.
And the thing with most of this is that, in a straight up-and-up comparison, most of the tasks being performed on the Mexican street are in Canada performed by some machine or another. Take parking management, for example. Of course, as with most immediate reactions, it is wrong. It's not so simple just to replace these people with automated systems. And he has a point. Facilitating Social Interactions: Measuring Engagement and Promoting Academic Success within the LMS.
[All Presentations] Facilitating Social Interactions: Measuring Engagement and Promoting Academic Success within the LMS November 2, 2010 Panel presentation delivered to Webinar, Online. The Learning Management System is evolving rapidly, becoming a more flexible and interactive part of the classroom. As that happens, how can you better integrate the LMS into the campus classroom?
How can you measure and analyse student participation in the social and collaborative technologies that are becoming part of a good LMS? Technologies already exist to collect basic data on student participation and interactions; the focus now is collecting more comprehensive data about online behavior in the classroom, then using the data effectively.
