Knowledge, Learning, Community

Single Link YouTube (SLYT). This is Martha Burtis from the Digital Knowledge Center at Mary Washington University and Sean Michael Morris from Middlebury College, one after the other. Here's the blurb: "For too long, instructional design has been reduced to page design, alignment of content and assessments with outcomes, and the "science" of step-A-to-step-B learning. It has lacked imagination, spontaneity, passion, and care. What we propose here is that instructional design and the digital platforms (and spaces) we use for teaching and learning can be more. More critical. More relational. More flexible. More beautiful." Via Jon Jon Kruithof, who writes, "I'm not fighting for what I believe in enough (by the way, that's work on the open web, understanding digital literacies, criticizing educational technology for putting us in boxes we shouldn't be in)" but finds in this video a way back from this wilderness. I listened to it this morning. Don't miss it.
