Wrapping Up With Data


Don't forget, you can submit your feed here!. The 'Submit Feed' link also appears on the course menu. We've had a number of submissions so far (and I've added the feeds where I've found posts to list for this week). You can see them on the Feeds Page.

This wraps up the first week of the course, yet it feels like we've only scratched the surface with our look at data. To wrap up, I've added a video, written a short article, and aded some resources. You can see them all listed below. But keep note: just because we're done with data doesn't mean we'll stop talking about it. We may yet add more content to this module (there are still some symposium videos to be processed, for example).

Week 0: Seimens and Downes on AI
Geoff Cain, Brainstorm in Progress, 2018/10/26

It was good to see Stephen Downes and George Siemens sitting down together and talking again for our Education 3.0 MOOC. It felt just like old times (CCK08, CCK11, etc.). I can’t really say what they do for one another exactly, they seem to play off one another well – but listening to them together has always brought about great moments of catalyst.

eLearning 3.0: How do I show my expertise?
Apostolos K., Multilitteratus Incognitus, 2018/10/26

With my dissertation proposal in the hands of my committee and off for review, I thought I'd participate in a MOOC while I wait to hear back. Yes, I do have some articles that have piled up (which may be of use to my dissertation), but I thought I'd be a little more social (lurk a little, post a little).  The funny thing is that as soon as I lamented the lack of cMOOCs...there it was, eLearning 3.0 popped up on my twitter feed...and a few Greek colleagues invited me to one in a Moodle. I guess the universe provided for me.

Data, personal learning and learning analytics
Jenny Mackness, Jenny Connected, 2018/10/26

This week’s topic for Stephen Downes’ E-Learning 3.0 MOOC is Data.   From the synopsis that Stephen provides for the week we read that… there are two conceptual challenges associated with this topic: first, the shift in our understanding of content from documents to data; and second, the shift in our understanding of data from centralized to decentralized.

Solid
Tim Berners-Lee, 2018/10/26

Solid (derived from "social linked data") is a proposed set of conventions and tools for building decentralized social applications based on Linked Data principles. Solid is modular and extensible and it relies as much as possible on existing W3C standards and protocols.

IndieWeb
2018/10/26

The IndieWeb is a people-focused alternative to the "corporate web". When you post something on the web, it should belong to you, not a corporation. Too many companies have gone out of business and lost all of their users’ data. By joining the IndieWeb, your content stays yours and in your control.
