(March 26 I attended an Apple-sponsored AcademiX seminar at MIT. Or most of it--had to dash back to the office for a meeting in the afternoon and I didn't make it back for the end of the day. What I went to, however, was quite good.
Here are my notes, raw and uncorrected except for formatting, with occasional comments in brackets.)
Welcome and Opening Comments
Scott Morris, Learning Services & Communities,
Strategic Education Solutions, Apple Inc.
Four AcademiX sessions happening around the country - not Apple marketing, abt learning what ed customers are doing.
Digital learning environment: create, access, distribute - held together by collaboration. Innovation happening outside LMS
People of the Book v. Digital Natives. – we here today are mainly former
What would we know if none of us had ever read a book.
We can’t predict what big things are happening, but we can be involved
Distribution:
In oral cultures, edu required proximity – now it’s everywhere at all times.
Literacy enables other rational discourses
What are time/space constraints, biases of digital world?
Access:
Mobility changes this. (No parking app joke)
Wikinomics quote: new promise of collaboration is that with peer production we will harness human skill, ingenuity, and intelligence more efficiently and effectively…
How do we create next gen of professionals/citizens, getting them to stand on shoulders of giants.
AcademiX - Welcome
