The Learning Objects Dialogue Day with Brian Lamb is open to all Maricopa faculty and staff. This dialogue day will provide participants with an opportunity to learn about the work that Brian Lamb and his colleagues at the University of British Columbia (UBC) have done to integrate learning objects, wikis, blogs and other learning technologies. This Dialogue Day will provide faculty an opportunity to identify ways that they can use these technologies in their instruction. Additionally, Mr. Lamb will discuss some of the issues regarding these technologies, including metadata, copyright issues, etc.
This event is being organized by the Ocotillo Learning Objects Action Group. In our first year of existence they have engaged faculty across the district in discussion sessions, in person, and online workshops to demonstrate the potential of learning objects to faciliate the creation of effective learning environments. This Dialogue Day is designed to synthesize much of this by bringing to Maricopa a leading expert in the field. Wikis, or online collaborative writing spaces, are a new technology that have not limited use at Mariocpa.
Goals
- Understand what learning objects are and how to find and use them to create learning content.
- Identify issues with using learning objects
- Understand what wikis, RSS and the "Rip. Mix Feed" approach means and how these technologies can be used for learning
- Discuss and experience how a wiki can be used in an instructional context
The activities will include a mixture of presentation, small group discussion, and hands-on interaction with learning object collections and wikis. If you are able to bring your own wireless enabled laptop computer it will help us expand the level of participation.
