1. Transforming education: openness and learning analytics George Siemens October 15, 2010 Presented to: Universidad del Sagrado Corazn

2. The inadequacy of traditional knowledge processes (institutions?)

• Rapid processes of iteration, invention

• Complexity & connectivity (Morin)

3. more is different

4. What would a university look like if created today?

5. Periods of innovation demand different tactics than those needed in periods of stability

6. Need idea collision

• Openness

• Diversity

• Spaces for collision to occur

7. Late February, 2003

8. Global, networked research, sensemaking, & knowledge growth

11. First concept:

12. Innovation requires openness

13. But what does openness mean?

14. Product?

15.

16. Process?

17. Open scholarship

18. Open teaching & learning 2008, 2009, (soon) 2011

19. Second concept:

20. Openness produces more of itself

21. Criticality of Creation

22. MOOC

• Spaces of multi-voiced/perspective interaction

• Coherence of knowledge formed (connected?) through participation

23.

24. Third concept:

25. Openness & innovation require creation and participation

26. Information fragmentation

27. Knowledge coherence

28. Need time

• Incubation

• Idea collision

• Randomness

29. Sensemaking

• Through

• 1. Social and

• 2. Technological

• systems

30. Fourth concept:

31. Personal knowledge must be shared and interacted with (Error detection & correctioni.e. peer review)

32. i.e. explicitation

33. and

34. Once its data, its analyzable

35. Fifth Lesson:

36. Computers should do what they do best. So should people.

37. Structure & innovation

• Hard & soft technologies and methods

38. The need to know ourselves

• We aren't well acquainted with our thoughts (or ourselves)

39. What does this produce?

• Failed innovations, overlooked connections

40. States of connectedness produce different levels of understanding

• What and how something is connected determines what is possible

• i.e. What is understood

• Capacity, potential

41. Sixth concept:

42. Data trails reveal ourselves (intentions)

43. The adjacent possible

44. Analytics and revelation of serendipitous connections

45. Living the connected life

• Blending digital world with physical

• Connection serendipity provided through social and technological systems

• e.g. Feltron, Google analytics, social media monitoring

50. Seventh concept:

51. Learning analytics transform teacher and learner roles (and education)
