An Introduction to Connective Knowledge ~ Stephen's Web ~ b You are not logged in. [] [] Revised and Updated (minor corrections and typos only) and placed in MS-Word Document form, November 27, 2007. Click here . The version that follows below is the original (uncorrected) version). Yet another article, describing new forms of knowledge as probablistic , has crossed my desk today, and consequently it seems appropriate at this time to type a few words on the nature of distributed knowledge. It should go without saying that these are my own thoughts, and this discussion should not therefore be considered an authoritative reference on the subject. a. You probably grew up learning that there are two major types of knowledge: qualitative and quantitative. Distributed knowledge adds a third major category to this domain, knowledge that could be described as connective. This is more than just the existence of a relation between one entity and another; it implies interaction. Probabilistic knowledge is a type of quantitative knowledge. b. c. d. e. f. g.
The Lookstein Center for Jewish Education Create a personal learning environment with Symbaloo Symbaloo is a visual, social bookmarking tool that makes it easy to access your personal knowledge management tools. The technology (or what are my powers) The Symbaloo interface When you register to use Symbaloo, you gain access to a slick user interface that allows you to create webmixes of your favorite Web sites. The Symbaloo interface looks a bit like a high-tech Scrabble board with movable “tiles” on it. These tiles give you access to Web pages or other webmixes. The Symbaloo folks have kindly provided a number of tiles to get you started, giving you access to YouTube, Flickr, Google, Wikipedia, Craigslist, and even the Yellow Pages. When you view a webmix, you’ll see a centerbox in the middle of the page. The tour widget is specialized. Creating and editing tiles You can personalize tiles that link to your favorite Web sites to create visual cues that are meaningful to you. This video provides more information on creating and editing tiles. Instructional strategies Symbaloo EDU
The Autonomy Project - Welcome Emerging Perspectives on Learning, Teaching and Technology Aiming for the Young Crowd, Google Pitches a Google+ Summer Camp - Mike Isaac - Social Kids driving you nuts, now that school is out? Google announced an online summer camp on Monday, a collaboration with Make magazine that matches teens with maker-movement celebrities through the Google+ social network. Using the company’s Hangouts video group chat tool, kids age 13 through 18 can watch makers create projects online, many of which are composed of stuff lying around the house (think Mentos and erupting Coke bottles). It’s one in another series of moves by Google to bolster Google+, its heavily pitched yet questionably populated social network. There’s potential to reach a large, lucrative market by targeting teens: To “attend” the camp, the kids must have a Google+ account. Not to mention that teens are one of the most-engaged groups using social media online today. Video could be Google’s key to winning teens over. Now all Google needs is to get them to sign up.

Exploring edX 1.0 When Harvard and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) announced their intention last month to provide free, online education, the world listened. The unveiling of edX, the universities’ joint open-source platform for web-based learning, garnered buzz around the globe. The next question was obvious. On Thursday, Anant Agarwal, edX’s first president, offered some early answers at Harvard’s second annual IT Summit. “This really is an exciting time for all of us to be in IT and education, and it’s a particularly exciting time to be at Harvard in IT,” said Anne Margulies, Harvard’s chief information officer, who kicked off the summit at Sanders Theatre.

JOLT - Journal of Online Learning and Teaching Jacqueline A. Gilbert Professor of Management Department of Management & Marketing Jennings A. Jones College of Business Murfreesboro, TN 37130 USA jgilbert@mtsu.edu Ricardo Flores-Zambada Director Recursos Humanos del Sistema Tecnológico de Monterrey Monterrey, Neuvo Leon MX 64849 riflores@itesm.mx Introduction Online and hybrid learning environments are relative newcomers to the world of higher education. As Graham (2006) explains, there is now an emphasis on introducing a “human” dimension to technologies, like virtual communities, portable digital devices, instant messaging, and blogging. Eveleth and Baker-Eveleth (2003) present a compelling framework and design for the inclusion of an online component inside a traditional face-to-face classroom. In the course described within this manuscript, students developed a set of core competencies which were designed to give them a strategic workforce advantage over individuals who had not had similar exposure.
