The course edcmooc is ending: we have assessed each other and got the feedback. It is good to ponder the assessment issues, I always do when a course is over. There are numerous ways to assess learning but no simple ways. I deal with following three ways: 1. The facilitators evaluation in their blog and [...]

I continue my pondering about learning analytics and use myself as a case in PLENK course. Rita Kop was one of the facilitators and she had a presentation in the first LA conference some days ago. She has blogged about the conference twice. First I gather things that I consider most interesting in Rita’s and [...]

If you are interested in the individual differences of our activity level in PLENK2010, please read this. I’ll give you a rough estimate on this. I began to look at the participants list: who had logged in during last days and then I took a glimpse of the forum posts behind the name, how many [...]

This is the last day of PLENK2010 (actually nothing ends and often the best discussions happen after the course) – but anyway, I have a need to integrate or evaluate something. I found this in our program, what to do in just now: Artifact of your Learning Details: Your final presentation can be handled in [...]

Still waiting for wisdom and seeking for answers by writing here. I was close to finding something in July 7th, when the former course CritLit was ending. I wrote about ethic in open networking (hacker ethic was the original concept, but if it has turned too negative I don’t use it). People work with passion [...]

I continue my studies on Evaluation in PLENK2010. I liked the JISC pages about assessment. Every educational institution should present their assessment principles in this way. I could recognize many perceptions I did while working as an online teacher. Assessment can be used to support learning rather than just test and certify achievement – and [...]

We have the Evaluation Week in PLENK2010 and this challenging topic interests me greatly. I scanned the web pages recommended to us. My first astonishment was that a famous guy who’s name I do not remember (never heard) and do not want to write here: he made a survey and asked people (American people) about [...]
It seems to me that participants in PLENK2010 already know good points of PLE, PLN, LMS and their borders as well. Those were reported at the beginning of Friday Elluminate (the recording is available) . I want to take a broader point of view. Or try anyway, to discuss about factors that help learning in [...]

Yesterday’s misunderstanding in the opinion change with Downes got me to think further. It is good to be embarrassed sometimes – or is that word too negative, is confused better, I do not know those nuances. To be confused is a beginning of making sense in an obscure domain. I am sure that learning can [...]

This time I want to write because of Alan Cooper’s blog post about Assessing learning and Stephen Downes post Having reasons: parts of the long discussion devoted to the question if interesting learning happened in CritLit2010. I have written two final assessments and answered research questions. I should be able to tell if I had [...]
