OSRG Social learning symposium
17 March 2010
The Open University, Milton Keynes (in the Systems Seminar room, Venables)
Social learning as an area of interest to researchers and designers from multiple fields
This symposium (Open University 17 March 2010) brings together those with an interest in, and different perspectives on, social learning as an area of interest to researchers and designers from multiple fields, including education, governance and technology.
We have structured the event in a way that will give everyone an opportunity to exchange ideas and participate in the discussion. Some short presentations following a simple format will help draw ideas together and identify areas of synergy and difference in a lively and open discussion.
Programme:
1.30 - Welcome and introduction - Chris High (OSRG)
1.45 – Presentation by Simon Buckingham Shum (OLnet/ KMI): An emerging suite of social learning technologies
2.15 – 3.15 - Four presentations (approx 10-15 minutes) centred on three areas of personal engagement: What I understand by social learning, examples of how it has been used in my experience, and the future of social learning in my context:
• Kevin Collins (OSRG) - International perspectives on social learning
• Kasia Kozinska (OLnet/ IET/ CREET) – social learning in the context of OpenLearn
• Chris Blackmore (OSRG) - Social Learning systems and communities of practice
• Joe Corneli (KMI) - Crowdsourcing education
3.15 – 4 pm – Discussion, moderated by Martin Reynolds (OSRG), on the 'Future of Social Learning at the Open University'
