LH #24 Change and Complexity with George Siemens

The shifting boundaries of human and artificial cognition

As pressure mounts on L&D to get out of its bind on learning analytics and start taking data seriously, John Helmer talks to Dr George Siemens, founder president of the Society for Learning Analytics Research, and the father of connectivist learning theory. In George’s view, conditions have never been more favourable for a more data-driven approach in Corporate learning, with the Covid crisis massively accelerating digital transformation across all areas of organisational operations.

Learning analytics are just one area of this internationally renowned author and speaker's work. George is also professor at the University of Texas at Arlington and Director of the Centre for Change and Complexity in Learning at the University of South Australia. This wide-ranging discussion also covers connectivism, MOOCs and the offloading of human cognitive capabilities to AI with its implications for learning.

05:26 Learning analytics
10:16 Could corporates work with academics on analytics?
16:50 Connectivism
21:37 How has connectivism aged?
25:32 AI and learning
35:03 MOOCs
40:52 The road out of Covid

Being There: What Presence Means in a Digital World - by Stephen Downes

To the extent that learning is a social activity it depends on presence, that is, it depends on the interaction and sense of commonality we have with other people. But presence doesn't need to be direct and personal; it can be mediated through objects and technologies. An author can speak to us through a book, a friend can speak to us through a telephone, an actor can convey meaning through cinema. But with each medium, the character of presence changes, as some affordances are amplified and others diminished. Which leads us to the question: what is the character of presence in digital media? Drawing on more than 30 years of research developing interactive online learning technologies, Stephen Downes explores what it means to 'be there' in online learning.

Ana Cristina Pratas's insight:

"The ability of a university to foster community is directly related to its larger function in society and the history of that function. As with my previous post about the stakes of communication being far broader than sending course announcements, it should be no surprise that the stakes of community far exceed engendering community in my particular courses via different kinds of activities, assignments, or tools, even as those constitute a real site for community to develop. In " The End of the University ," Astra Taylor wonders not just if "the university as it currently exists will survive the pandemic," but rather, given that universities' histories are as much about exclusion as they are about liberatory impulses,"whether we want it to." Taylor's holder "end" reflects a concern for apocalyptic collapses of public funding, but it also registers a sense of place and purpose. 

 

She says,

In order to forge another path, we must engage in a deeper form of accounting. Beyond finding a way to balance university budgets in the midst of global depression, the challenge is to acknowledge and repair past mistakes and ongoing inequities, thus making our higher education system, for the first time in our troubled history, truly public."

Ana Cristina Pratas's insight:

"(...) 

Engaging students there requires activities, dialogue, and most importantly, applied focus on developing skills, gaining knowledge and improving understanding. How do you do this? Every teacher is different, but I suspect you use questioning, you present challenges, you set problems and you get students to search, create and present new knowledge.

Engaging students online involves exactly the same methods, but in an online context, they can be offered in shorted bursts, allowing students to think and reflect more, and to engage with their peers and with the teacher as well as with the content."
