“While technical and job specific skills have sufficed in the past, it is increasingly being accepted that the worker of the future will need a morecomprehensive set of competencies, “meta-competencies” such as learning skills, life management skills, and communication skills that are not occupation specific and are transferable across all facets of life and work.”

The Rise of Lecture Capture
Lecture Capture
The Centre for Educational Innovation & Technology
With lecture capture we are engaged currently in a massive “distance learning project” – delivering online education every day that is totally devoid of good learning design.
@UQ: Any classroom seating 50 or more students is auto-
recorded
Is this really where we want to go?
High Impact Practices (National Survey of Student Engagement--NSSE)
• First-year seminars and experiences
• Learning communities
• Writing intensive courses
• Collaborative assignments
• Undergraduate research
• Global learning/ study abroad
• Internships
• Capstone courses and projects

Participatory Culture of the Web
• Features of participatory culture How do we make classroom learning more like participatory culture?
o Low barriers to entryo Strong support for sharing
one’s contributionso Informal mentorship,
experienced to noviceo Members feel a sense of
connection to each othero Students feel a sense of
ownership of what is being created
o Strong collective sense that something is at stake

Jenkins, et. al., Confronting the Challenges of Participatory Culture
The Post-Course EraEnd of the era of the self-contained course as the center of the curriculum
“The fragmentation of the curriculum into a collection of independently ‘owned’ courses is itself an impediment to student accomplishment, because the different courses students take, even on the same campus, are not expected to engage or build on one another.” (AAC&U, 2004) The Centre for Educational Innovation & Technology
US student’s have been moving across schools, seeking their own pathways has decade

What’ the point?…Develop habits of mind that are useful for managing chaos and complex thought with increasing effectiveness. contingency thinking
ePortfolios & authentic learning?
•Real-world relevance•Ill-defined problems•Diversity of outcomes •Applied across different subjects•Opportunity to reflect•Seamlessly integrated with assessment

Of course the problem with portfolios?• There are so MANY of them!!!

Who is issuing badges?
• Precious few traditional ed institutions….at the moment.
A good start but something’s missing
• The mechanism for badging iso Institution independento Linked to verified issuero Link baked into badgeo Owned by the learner
BUT…How do we really capture the richness of learning?
What is the Tin Can or Experience API (xAPI)?
• Tracks experiences, scores, progress, teams, virtual media, real-world experiences (not just completions) – the learning activity stream
• Allows data storage AND retrieval (ex. 3rd party reporting and analytics tools)
• Enables tracking mobile, game, and virtual world experiences
• And it’s open source!
Key Concept – Activity Streams
• Format: <Actor> <Verb> <Object> (I did this) o I (actor) completed (verb) the circuits course
(activity)• Allows reporting of experiences, not just
completionso Nikolaus posted a photoo Nikolaus liked a photoo Nikolaus commented on a photo

with Badges & their

?
• xAPI statement (actor, action verb, object): “I did this”
• Open Badge (issuer, owner, assertion, evidence): "She can do this”
• Portfolio: (repository of data supporting the generation of statements and badges -and to collect them): "I can do all these things, and I can prove it”
• Learning credentials, owned by & in the hands of the learner!
Where will the traditional school, TAFE, Uni be in this ecosystem?
