ASCILITE 2021 Conference Day 3 – notes on the fly

(Oops, I thought I’d published this on the day)

Lines of thought: the emergence of meaning through collaborations and remix – Wendy Taleo and Sarah Honeychurch

First up for #ascilite2021 today is @wentale and @NomadWarMachine presenting on #ds106 and meaning making in digital collaboration. Particularly interesting for longer term twitter peeps who’ve seen #ds106 unfold over the years.

Looking at learning with technology through the lens of creative projects

Remixed into representation in colours

Remixing the collaborative poem into music

Other remixes included wordclouds, designs of words as colours, videos, music, crochet and papier-mache bowls – amazing to see the different ways people interpret and represent the same contet #ascilite2021

For so many of us our communities have been a critical support over the last couple of years. @wentale and @NomadWarMachine share their experiences of learning through creative collaboration and play #ascilite2021 pic.twitter.com/74Rnde2JJ3

Sustainable learning design in large transformational teaching and learning initiatives – Courtney Shalavin and Elaine Huber

Next up is @loch_b and colleagues presenting on building a culture of innovation in edtech and the challenges of overcoming risk aversion #ascilite2021

Birgit acknowledges that describing the spread of innovation as a virus probably isn’t the best thing to do these days 🙂

Interesting observation from the @loch_b and co session about the educator led innovators network at La Trobe that they kept at arms length from the Central L&T team (still with some interaction) because academics tend to steer clear of centrally driven initiatives #ascilite2021

One of my key areas of focus this year has been disrupting this narrative and developing an integrated model of learning design that breaks down the us vs them continuum – we need to think beyond dichotomies #ascilite2021 https://t.co/tgaGvJPpes

Exploring industry-university partnerships in the creation of short courses and micro-credentials – Rachel Fitzgerald and Henk Huijser

This feels like another one of these discussions that haven’t changed for a decade. I’m glad that it is still on the agenda but is this a fundamental flaw of research – a hesitancy to take a position and move forward?

I asked Henk why movement has been so slow in this space – he feels it comes down to a lack of shared understanding and challenges for unis in dealing with the business models needed

Lots of rich discussion – this is clearly something that still has relevance to a lot of people.

Creating presence, currency and connection in digital learning with video blogs – Jo Elliott and Chie Adachi

Reflection on the design process

Nice

Vlogging established a ritual – rituals are a key aspect of connection and community – and created a space for @Dr_JoElliott and @chieadachi to learn out loud #ascilite2021

And that’s it for me – sadly, the real world is calling.

Thanks to everyone that has shared their ideas and work, it has been great. Thanks also to ASCILITE for putting this on.
