Description:

A New Look at Wikimedia, the World's Largest OER

Martin Poulter

As Jorum repository is set to retire in September 2016 (<a href="http://www.jorum.ac.uk/retirement/">http://www.jorum.ac.uk/retirement/</a>). Martin Poulter will be considering whether Wikimedia has a role in Open Education and can be used in ways not previously considered - part repository, part VLE, part academic publishing and collaboration. Is there an opportunity here to move more into Wikimedia? Can Wikimedia take up some of these roles? This webinar promises to be an interesting discussion.

Dr Martin Poulter is the ICT Manager for the Economics Network based at the University of Bristol. He has worked as the Wikimedia Ambassador for Jisc and as the Wikimedian In Residence at the Bodleian Libraries and this summer was named UK Wikimedian of the Year.

The session was recorded and can be accessed at <a href="http://go.alt.ac.uk/2f9OwLn">http://go.alt.ac.uk/2f9OwLn</a> (mp4 version: <a href="http://go.alt.ac.uk/2dZp3la">http://go.alt.ac.uk/2dZp3la</a> )

Description:

Beginning with distance learning, moving through blended models and now evidenced by moocs, coocs and micro-learning, the application of technology to learning has caused massive disruption and has had significant impacts on many learners, educators and organisations. Technologies initially employed in the workplace or intended for social use are now also adding to the changes experienced by educators.

So what does this ‘disruption’ mean for learning technologists? What is our role in supporting educators? How can we help to ensure that learning technology has a positive impact on the lives and futures of our learners and that it is used to remove, rather than reinforce, existing inequalities in both access to learning and wider society?

‘Disruptive Learning’ is the topic for the ALT West Midlands Region Group’s second meeting.

Join us at Coventry University on Monday 14th November at 10am. Lunch will be available at 1pm; please indicate dietary preferences when registering.
