Centre for Digital Media Festinger Law & Strategy http://videogame.law.ubc.ca @gamebizlaw http://videogame.law.ubc.ca Course Origins ? 7th year being taught ? Originally a book; but a course outline before a book.. ? 2005/2006 UBC/UVic video experiment ? Last year ? started from scratch ? Began as iTunes U project ??? ? Begat ? blog-site ? This Year ? website http://videogame.law.ubc.ca All thanks to UBC CTLT Well actually?.the original concept? Pedagogic Goals ? One word: ENGAGEMENT ? Two words: CREATING PERSPECTIVE ? Three words: APPRECIATING (LEGAL) COMPLEXITY Meaning what exactly?? * ?Quest? = Great paper, great contributions * ?Open World? = Vast terrain to be explored and navigated in your own way & on your unique(non-linear) path Can be played from a ?1st or 3rd person? perspective * Provide tools for ?user generated content? ? Provide additional ?downloadable content? (DLC) ? Encourage ?multiplayer? engagement ? In other words Skyrim (if it had multiplayer..) Why Course Content To The Web? 1. Engagement is interactivity 2. Metaphor: of Law 423B as the ?MMORPG? Game of 3. The native language of students is the web 4. Still can?t figure out Moodle 5. Perfect for the Law ? Openness is a fundamental principle of Justice & ?Ignorantia juris non excusat? 6. Course tends away from the biblical model of ?immaculate creation? and it?s attendant copyright consequences 7. So obvious choice Hits & Misses HITS: 1. The research on open teaching is correct?. (Teachers prepare MUCH harder) 2. Student engagement (& amazement) 3. ?Living? Syllabus 4. Persistent materials 5. Appreciation from ?everywhere? 6. Invitations 7. Easy to adopt and adapt (YouTube, ?Paper Talk?) MISSES: 8. Part of evaluation? 9. Student filming idea Biggest Hit Give a person a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a person to fish and you feed them for a lifetime. Evolutions STUDENT CONNECTIVITY LAYER Horizontal not vertical is the crucial on-line learning plane Why? Because it?s the most crucial off-line learning plane Why have we not figured this out? 1. Real time co-posting with text/audio/video background connection 2. Smart student Avatar/Surrogate This Is? EASY NOT HARD OPEN NOT CLOSED CONSISTENT WITH FURTHERING KNOWLEDGE (not limiting it) SCALEABLE INCLUSIVE INFINITELY MORE VISUALLY APPEALING HIGHLY RECOMMENDED (by me?) What I Really Learned ? Always include a cat picture? Our Academic Partners

Lamb, Brian Festinger, Jon Engle, Will |
Date Issued | 2013-10-23 |
Description | The delivery of open online learning has become a more common practice (or at least a more desired practice) in higher education in recent years. In this session, two diverse universities will share their lessons learned in delivering open learning. UBC has long embraced open learning projects through a robust WordPress and MediaWiki publishing framework that helped advance a broad range of open educational activities, including student produced OER and open courses. UBC’s embrace of both a self-maintained open infrastructure as well as emerging third party platforms is creating new potentials for open education at UBC. Meanwhile Thompson Rivers University (TRU) has an “Open Learning” division with a long history of providing open access post-secondary distance education (online and print) by offering continuous enrolment, flexible scheduling and minimal admission requirements, as well as extensive capacity for Prior Learning Assessment and Recognition (PLAR) and a well-established transfer credit system. It is working to enhance its capacity to support learning and public engagement via open platforms as well, via alignment with the Open Educational Resources university (OERu) and by working with UBC to adapt its MediaWiki and WordPress framework for its own needs. This session examines how institutions and instructors can provide open educational experiences and develop the required expertise, capacity and support systems. The co-faciliators of this session identify sharable and extensible tools, approaches and means of cooperation that will allow educators and learners to shape their open learning experiences. |
