Knowledge, Learning, Community

This post begins with the idea that the Education and Digital Culture (EDC) course challenges conventional understandings of 'space' and 'subject'. It's based on the use of WordPress rather than a traditional LMS, which right away puts it out there in a public space. It also uses Miro, an online collaboratiove whiteboad platform "where much more of our teaching and assessment happens. Although Miro is advertised as a synchronous whiteboard space, we are instead using it this semester as a persistent online exhibition area... The collaborative and visual emphasis of Miro provides a space where I have been able to incorporate teaching approaches I observed in the undergraduate architecture studio." I haven't used Mico, but I've used online collaborative spaces a lot, and can attest to the change in social dynamics they can create.
