Innovation and integration of learning technologies needs to be about more than automation and compliance.

Gardner Campbell’s Open Education 2012 Keynote

Gardner Campbell did the opening keynote at the Open Education 2012 conference in Vancouver this year. It was an inspiring call for us to snap out of the literal and measured stages of openness and implementation, and to take the supersonic bunny hop into something bigger.1

Watch the presentation. Take the bunny hop.

Then, he kicked out the jams in a studio session.

Then, of course, he did it again. On a boat. With the second keynoter (none other than John Willinsky) jamming along.

Best. conference keynotes. ever.

thanks to Giulia for the nudge about the presentation being online, and to Scott for posting the YouTube version

Notes: New Horizons: A personal cyberinfrastructure

Cambpell, G. (2009). New Horizons: A personal cyberinfrastructure. EDUCAUSE review. 44 (5) pp. 58-59.

The article is intended to be used as a manifesto for institutional change, rather than a research-based paper. Some of it is a bit hyped, but the foundation is sound.

In building that personal cyberinfrastructure, students not only would acquire crucial technical skills for their digital lives but also would engage in work that provides richly teachable moments ranging from multimodal writing to information science, knowledge management, bibliographic instruction, and social networking.

This vision goes beyond the “personal learning environment” in that it asks students to think about the web at the level of the server, with the tools and affordances that such an environment prompts and provides.

Pointing students to data buckets and conduits we’ve already made for them won’t do. Templates and training wheels may be necessary for a while, but by the time students get to college, those aids all too regularly turn into hindrances. For students who have relied on these aids, the freedom to explore and create is the last thing on their minds, so deeply has it been discouraged.

The Reverend just posted a link to a great video produced by EDUCAUSE, which is basically a discussion between Jim Groom and Gardner Campbell on edupunk. It’s well worth viewing. I’m going to be passing it around here on campus.
