Suggested+topics

Please use this page to help organise the Open Space Day. As said an open space is essentially a BYO session in which participants can introduce a topic, discuss an opinion, or share a viewpoint about a subject.
 * 1) Suggest a topic, start a conversation or share an experience/interest you want to talk about below.
 * 2) Indicate which other topics you would be interested in by adding your name/initials
 * 3) If you want, add some interesting resources or links about topics. (Tip: A blog post, presentation or videoclip is a great way to pose some starter questions...)
 * 4) Extra credit: Start a new page on this wiki about your topic. It will be a place where you can record/gather the results, discussions or resources of the Open Space Day.

Hazel Owen (would be happy to help get the ball rolling) ||< Hazel Owen, Ruth Crawford, David Sturrock Jane Dillon ||< Who is using OTARA? Are you using any other approach? We're using the ICTELT model at Unitec NZ: http://efest2008collaboratingbydesign.pbworks.com/. Can we marry this with the LDNet discussion? || Joyce Seitzinger ||< Hazel Owen, Debra Maddocks, Selena Chan, Brenda Flanagan, David Sturrock -Peter Mellow Vickel Narayan Jane Dillon Yong Liu ||< [|eLearn: Opinions] [|Social media kills LMS] These are not necessarily good reference articles - just something to start with.

|| Roger Bateman ||< Selena Chan Brenda Flanagan -Peter Mellow Vickel Narayan Teresa G ||< [] [] media type="youtube" key="hLNNTK1_wGQ" height="344" width="425" Could this topic be combined with the Web2.0 discussions above? - Answer: mobile web2 is far more than a smaller version of web2, there are specific affordances of mobile devices that need exploring as the ctliwiki link demonstrates. || Hazel Owen (would be happy to help get the ball rolling) ||< Hazel Owen, Selena Chan, David Sturrock - Peter Mellow Teresa G Kevin Brennan Jane Dillon Yong Liu ||< [] ||
 * < Smartphones give you wings! Pedagogical affordances of mobile web2.0 ||< Thom Cochrane
 * < ePortfolios - how are they supporting 21st C learners? ||< Justin Sampson
 * < would anyone be interested in getting together to discuss going forward with [|LDNet]? LDNet's sitting on our website with 38 members, but not much activity lately. Perhaps some people might be interested in developing ideas for collaborative projects/research with a mind for applying for funding from Ako Aotearoa? ||< Justin Sampson ||< Maurice M || [] perhaps this might be combined with Maurice Moore's suggestion for a discussion around formal approaches to learning design? By MM - Sounds like a good idea Justin, even thought he scope of LDNet is wider than learning design.

I agree - either combine this with the first topic above or a wider eLearning support community discussion I propose below (David). || Terry Neal Aaron Griffiths ||< Brenda Flanagan -Peter Mellow Vickel Narayan Teresa G ||< As the SLENZ project draws to a close, we ask " Is education in virtual environments just a fad that will pass?" Initial results from SLENZ seem to suggest otherwise and point to some genuine excitement among some NZ learners. Over the project a number of valuable lessons have been learnt and some signficiant expertise assembled. Should we be creating some means of harnessing what we have learnt? If so, how can we best do that? We would love to converse, debate, argue, test out ideas on anyone who has opinions on these questions!

I've had some problems recently I don't know how to solve and I'm interested in some other modules such as OUblog and OUwiki - anyone used these lately? Haven't used OU modules but happy to chat about Moodle (David). I am also happy to have a Moodle discussion (Brenda) || A further question - what is the role of the library in course development and in supporting student use of tools like Turnitin? (David) || Teresa G || The ITPNZ eLearning forum is no longer supported by ITPNZ - it's time to re-invent it. What other support network/s do you use? Share ways in which you do or would like to be able to access collegial support and informal PD appropriate to your working context. ||

 * < LMS User Group Session ||< Stephen Bright ||< David Sturrock
 * < Libraries for 21st century students ||< Diane Friis/Karen Young ||< David Sturrock ||< How can academic libraries become more accessible to 21st century students? What do we need to change (if anything) in order to better support students with their learning experience?
 * NZ eLearning support community - Do we have / need one? || David Sturrock || Peter Mellow
 * Reusable Learning objects || Pip Fowler ||  || How to put the 'usable' into 'reusable'? How best to negotiate through the plethora of information and hype about reusable learning objects. Are they of any use to us at all? Who's using them, how and why? ||
 * Multimedia learning objects || Pip Fowler ||  || Is anyone having any success with these?? and I don't mean synchronous video conferencing, but rather developing learning objects such as videos, presentation-type lessons and audio that teach a specific point within a course. ||
