networked learning

Network Mirror
Why using this Mirror1. Detecting & visualising existing (informal) networks or social connections (who is talking to whom)2. Find out what people in these networks talk & learn about, what is important to them and why they
talk as they do (De Laat, 2006)3. Design interventions to support and cultivate these networks
This network mirror is based on the change mirror (Homan, 2008)
Design team
– The network mirror always works with a design team that serve’s as a representation of the entire population.
– This design team will together with researchers analyse & interpret the data
– Based on the results the design team will make recommendations for supporting networked learning in the participating organisation(s)
3 steps of research and intervention
Terugkoppeling engeneratieve dialoog
Organisatie-onderzoek
Spontane acties engeplande interventies
Wat leeft er in uw organisatie?Hoe wordt er bij elk van de
informele netwerken tegen deOrganisatie aan gekeken?
Wat betekenen de verschillenin de wijze waarop er tegende organisatie(verandering)
wordt aangekeken?

1 Visualise (informal) networks:- Who is talking to whom?
2 Feedback and an online generativedialogue with the entire population. - Detect values & motives for networked learning- Develop shared meaning & group decision making- What are they talking about and - Why are they talking in such a way?
3 Develop and support Spontaneous and planned interventions for facilitating and securing networked learning within organisations
Example from a large group of schools (70) in the Netherlands
Step 1 Detecting social networks
on a particular topic
Each color is a cluster of schools in a particular regionEach cluster consists of school spread over different locations with that region
Example from a large group of schools (70) in the Netherlands
Step 2 online generative
dialogue and group thinking
(voting pro – con per
statement)
Wat gaat er volgens u rond over XX, wat leeft er in de wandelgangen, welke geruchten hoort u?
Ik heb er nog helemaal niets over gehoord, dus het zegt met niets
Volgens ons is het echt hoognodig dat er eens wat gebeurt
Ik merk dat we er zolangzamerhand niet goed van worden al die verander-Trajecten. Wanneer kunnen we weer gewoon eens ons werk doen?
De training was prima alleen ik miste de hoofddirectie. Zoals altijd weer afwezig
Waarom stel je je zo afhankelijk op? We kunnen zelf toch ook met de nieuwe methode aan de slag?
Some illustrative outcomes:- it’s important to start sharing practice / experiences- Desire to share products, methods, and lesson materials- Preference to focus on collaboration on the regional clusters first
Example from a large group of schools (70) in the Netherlands
Matching step 1 and step 2.
The larger nodes in the networkagreed on statements made in online group dialogue. For example. They all think it is important to sharing their practice
Example from a large group of schools (70) in the Netherlands
Step 3. Design interventions and facilitate spontaneous activities
Stimulate tighter connections between locations In a cluster – stimulate a professional dialogueAmong the teachers
Stimulate interaction and give and take between the larger nodes – they can act as brokers between the clusters
