a
This panel seeks to reinvigorate and explore the potential of “o pen” through the lens of co-learning. Much hope\, promise\, and cash has b een invested in technology for the classroom\, yet this hype has often set the stage for nothing more than technologically powered traditional conte nt delivery paradigms masquerading as innovation. The course of magical th inking that continues to celebrate “ed tech” often ends up replicating the same systemic problems that existed before the advent of new tools. Can t echnology serve as a transformative force for equity and justice? Technolo gy is by no means a quick fix for the shortcomings of education today.
\nWith this observation in mind\, we seek to answer the question: In wh at environmental and cultural contexts can technology actually transform a nd facilitate learning? The answer (and the hope for institutional change that matters) lies in the potential of “open” in a co-learning context. Co -learning facilitates a freeing experience rooted in the connections we ma ke. In a connected co-learning environment\, learners are subjects rather than objects of technology. How can we conceive what constitutes learning itself in the Information Age? A connected co-learning model is essential to reimagining education and realizing democratic aspirations.
\nThi s panel will consider the crucial role of open design in the evolution and adoption of new technologies in learning. Our discussion will highlight b est practices in co-learning as the engine of transformation. We will pres ent co-learning in the context of both higher ed and high school experienc es\, and consider the need to bridge these two learning contexts more effe ctively through both revised expectations and a new understanding of “coll ege readiness.”
\nThe first half of our session will be anecdotal as we share our best practices for 21st century co-learning approaches. Each panelist will offer specific accounts of “pedagogies of openness” and how these approaches to learning allowed for new voices from the margins to b e heard in the name of real social change. Zamora and Rheingold will discu ss the urgency for a new kind of social media literacy and share examples of open networked discovery in the higher ed context. Zamora will highligh t experiences from her “Writing Race and Ethnicity” connected course. Rhei ngold will speak about the unlearning necessary for students and instructo rs and about the fear instructors feel about the renegotiation of power th at accompanies co-learning. Preston and Koyama will offer accounts of how the dynamics of co-learning can transform the learning context in high sch ool and the marketplace. Preston will address the economic\, structural\, and cultural constraints that challenge open learning systems.
\nThe second part of our panel will be an interactive collaboration with the au dience. Shifting to a “working session” geared towards future action\, we will facilitate a brainstorming session on institutional change that matte rs as we conceive of new initiatives that truly employ the potential of op en learning. Together\, we will generate a vision document capturing “new ideas for open learning initiatives.”
