Page history last edited by Eoin McDonnell 14 years, 1 month ago

F-ALT10 is almost upon us! F-ALT is a fringe event organised by (mainly) educational technologists & those with an unhealthy interest in educational technology to coincide with the annual ALT conference, this year taking place in Nottingham. This is the programme page - F-ALT happens because people pitch in ideas & enthusiasm to make it happen. So go on :) We've added some place holder pages but feel free to add or edit these if they aren't what you want. We usually have a f2f planning & meeting session to kick off with, but don't feel like you have to wait. In need of inspiration? Check out the F-ALT vault fr 2009 and 2008. Don't forget to sign up for this year & let us know if yr all official like.

A potentially lovely evening slot for people arriving on the Monday evening. Last year we kicked off with a frankly amazing post-digital session.

At the risk of spoiling a potentially lovely evening can I suggest a debate on open education and critical pedagogies

Discussion about lecture recording

 
Many of us in the LT community are currently involved in deploying lecture capture solutions in our Institutions, often driven by management.  But many of us also feel that lecture capture is fraught with issues - both in terms of the very real and practical ones such as copyright, IPR etc, but equally or more importantly, have grave reservations about it pedagogically. So -  Is it just a naive wste of time? Is it a cynical  ploy by management to cut labour costs? Or is it something that we as Learning Technologists can turn to good ends despite its apparent short comings. We are the only people who can do this - so where do we go next?
Tues 7 Sept 6pm-ish Keeping this simple - we're just going to the conference centre bar

Is the death of New Labour too obvious? b/c I think the e-learning agenda has *been* the NL agenda  - modernising, technocratic, standards-driven, apparently progressive, 'digital economy' etc... and if so, where does that leave us now? (HB)

- Perfect! Added above

 

Whereas the PLE agenda could be seen as (Classic) Liberal and Libertarian - so how would it fit in a Con-Lib policy agenda? Would Adam Smith and John Stuart Mill advocated PLEs? (SW)

It's traditional to suggest the death of something. I'd happily argue Personalisation is dead this year. Anyone disagree?

Yep - sadly it's alive and well, and kicking me in the nuts. Happy to help kill it off tho. (RH)

I'm thinking of a debate around the notion that social network spaces do not act as genuine networks beyond a small core of 'friends' (loosely based on the Dunbar number). Beyond this they run on a broadcast paradigm with a false promise of contact. This is amplified by the insurgence of 'beautiful people' who have signed up because they see the broadcast potential. I would argue that the nuances of 'Digital Literacy' boil down to a fairly basic micro-celebertory approach and personal brand management. Social Media spaces are now merely a reflection of the hollow values we see in evidence in society as a whole. (I'd be happy to put 'death' in the title of this if I can figure out a good one :) (DW)

lol keep something back fr the argument Dave :) I'm happy to completely disagree with you on this one (JF) I'm so confident on this one that I'm showing all my workings... Some point on the Tuesday evening would be good for this one I think. You would be a worthy and highly appropriate opponent :)  (DW)

How about combining this with digital literacies and scheduling for Monday evening? What do you think HB and DW? As usual I'd like to see the Death of the Death of topics ;) FB I might not be around on Monday evening. Happy to argue on Tuesday eve though (DW)
