This document discusses collaborative learning with new media and open educational resources. It is divided into two parts. The first part discusses students as global citizens using open resources, the meaning of "open," languages and resources, open learning, and communities of participation. The second part discusses collaborative learning from micro to macro levels, including the pedagogical purpose of collaboration, ways to foster collaboration, lecture orchestration, shared knowledge bases, and course design connecting collaboration to curriculum.

Students as participating world citizens, open and global
- Open Educational Resources
- Purposes and categories of OER
- The meaning of “Open”
- Languages, students, and open resources
- Open learning
- The open World Wide Web, and communities of participation
Second part:
Collaborative interactive learning - from micro to meso to macro
- The pedagogical purpose(s) of collaboration
- Ways of fostering collaboration (scripts, interfaces)
- Lecture orchestration
- Shared knowledge base, wiki
- Course design connecting collaborative learning to curriculum
- Tool enabling flexible collaborative learning

7. If we don’t know what the purpose of an
OER is, we won’t know what to consider
when designing, we can’t begin to evaluate
the quality, or measure the success
Purposes of OER
31. Lanzhou City University
case study
Have already been evaluating best courses
internally since 2003. Developed system of
indicators of course quality
Issue announcement, meeting of heads of
departments
Teaching committee to identify basic and
advanced courses they could apply for
Brought teachers together with computer
department
School gave certain amount of funding
Clear philosophy:
Construction of CQOCW will improve quality of
all courses
Not just about putting old courses online, but
rethink content, teaching methodology, etc.
Internal committee to evaluate courses, then
invited 20 external experts - used online
material, also sat in on classes
In the end, 11 courses were selected for
provincial CQOCW

convergence +
final product -
representation that can
be shared with others

one spot - affords emergent
understanding of categories,
connections
151. Ideas are not fixed in
one spot - affords emergent
understanding of categories,
connections
Always have a shared up-
to-date representation of
the “state of the knowledge
of the group” - enables
knowledge talks

174. What policies should cities adopt
towards Uber? A jigsaw collaborative
learning script
In this example scenario, nine students engage in
an exploratory discussion around the policy issues
faced by cities in the new economy. The goal is
for students to get exposed to a wide variety of
arguments and conflicting interests, and develop
critical thinking, argumentation, synthesis, and
creativity.
1. An operator (o1) takes the class list, and
generates groups of 3, distributing expert
roles among the students (taxi drivers,
policy experts, consumer advocates)
2. Experts (e.g. all taxi drivers) read an article
related to their expertise and discuss
relevant ideas (a1)
3. Mixed groups bring their expertise together
and brainstorm problems, ranking them (a2)
4. An operator (o2) aggregates the problems
from the different groups and sends it to a3
5. The whole class sees the top problems, and
collaboratively sort them into four different
categories (by clicking and dragging) (a3)
6. Mixed groups try to come up with solutions
to the problems in a3 (a4)
7. An operator (o3) creates a list of all the
suggested solutions, and creates a list of the
highest ranked ones
8. The list of solutions is displayed, and a class
discussion follows (a5)

177. • Configurable, collaborative (live-synced) activities
• Complex social structure generated at runtime
• Flow of data between different groupings, and types of activities
• Semantically meaningful dashboards for different activity types
• Live orchestration actions (changing activities, pausing)

Knowledge Community approach

212. Knowledge Community and Inquiry:
Principle-based model for curriculum design
!158
● Students in small groups are
responsible for populating some
portion of the knowledge base,
scaffolded by templates and scripts
that reinforce connections to the
learning domain
● Collaborative inquiry activities are
designed to address the targeted
domain learning goals, using the
knowledge base as a primary resource
and producing assessable outcomes
● The teacher plays an important role as
an orchestrator of the script
213. 2: MOOC for in-service teachers
Collaboration between University
of Toronto Schools (affiliated lab
high school) and Jim Slotta’s
Encore Lab
Design loosely based on pre-
service course
Ran on EdX platform summer
2015 with ~2.200 active users

235. Connecting course to previous and future generations
Course begins by reviewing previous lesson designs. Finished lesson
designs, as well as sorted, tagged and commented resources shared with
future generations, and public
