Bridging Contexts with Technology Stewards
Download as PPT, PDF0 likes870 views
The document discusses bridging contexts for learning with technology stewards to prepare institutions for emerging technologies. It describes technology stewards as communities of practice action researchers who can work at different levels - strategic, staff, and student - to enable the use of new technologies and address infrastructure barriers. The conclusion outlines three levels of technology stewards and their roles in supporting technical infrastructure, learning resources, and discovery of new technologies across an organization.

Bridging Contexts with Technology Stewards
- 1. Learner-Generated Contexts Group Bridging Contexts w/Tech Stewards; preparing institutions for emerging technologies Fred Garnett London Knowledge Lab April 13 th 2011
- 2. Bridging Contexts w/Tech Stewards Topics Background Multiple Contexts for Learning Tech Infrastructure as inhibiting new technology take up Technology Stewards (and the Great Paul Lowe) Technology Stewards as CoP Action Researchers Conclusion; Pedagogical Integration of Mobile Devices Conclusion; Three Levels of Technology Stewards
- 3. Bridging Contexts w/Tech Stewards Background; Ben Hammersley ; the tension between Hierarchy & Networks New Techs & mobiles offer new ways of supporting learning iPAD2 & 4G phones What might they offer for learning? Networked Natives? Learning Specialists? How do we embed that institutionally? Organisational & whole institution strategies Unitec NZ & University of the Arts UK
- 4. Bridging Contexts w/Tech Stewards Multiple Contexts for Learning; For all sorts of reasons we have multi-campus institutions REVEEL’ Beyond the Classroom Report ; What is the evidence for the effectiveness of post-16 e-learning? REVEEL; Support the use of multiple contexts for learning Unitec; Bridging Learning Contexts Using mobiles to enable the use of multiple contexts Degress are process-driven not content driven How do we embed that institutionally?
- 5. Bridging Contexts w/Tech Stewards Tech Infrastructure inhibiting new technology take up Conole & Alevizou; Review & Use of Web 2.0 use in HE 1) Participitory Affordances set new Pedagogic Challenges BUT; 2) Teaching Cultures (aren’t enabling) Key Point; 3) ‘ the maturity of the technological infrastructure to levels of adoption' is a key inhibitor! How might we address that?
- 6. Bridging Contexts w/Tech Stewards Technology Stewards Etienne Wenger; Digital Habitats; Technology Stewards walk at 45 degrees Between Hierarchy & Networks Between Learning & Institutions
- 7. Bridging Contexts w/Tech Stewards Technology Stewards as Action Researchers in CoP Case Study; Working with Etienne Wenger The Great Paul Lowe is a Technology Steward at UoA One day a week to transform teaching practice Unitec; Each Course Team has a TS who is a Researcher ‘ collaborative approach to designing the use of new technologies, critically supported by a technology steward, by the course team using a pedagogic framework (PAH Continuum) in designing the integrated use of both Web 2.0 tools and mlearning within a degree’ Can we apply a collegiate approach at strategic level?
- 8. Bridging Contexts w/Tech Stewards Technology Stewards as Action Researchers in CoP Critical Difference (CSF); Long Haul thru Institutions; Four Years at Unitec; Mobiles as a trojan horse to enable Tech-Enhanced Learning Rewrite e-learning strategy 1) Create Authentic Learning Conversations that enable graduates to succeed in 21 st Century 2) Provide accessible environments & creative solutions for students access to online tools (not content) via mobiles 3) Enhance wireless computing infrastructure
- 9. Bridging Contexts w/Tech Stewards Pedagogical Integration of Mobile devices Can provide a catalyst for pedagogical change towards a social constructivist pedagogy facilitating student-generated content and student-generated contexts beyond the classroom’
- 10. Bridging Contexts w/Tech Stewards Conclusion; Three Levels of Technology Stewards STRATEGIC; PVC; Tech Infrastructure; Enabling Platform STAFF; Course Team; Learning Technologies TS; Learning Ecology STUDENT; Students Union; New Technologies; Discovery New Literacies needed; STRATEGIC; Organisational Literacy STAFF; Learning Literacies STUDENT; Digital Literacies Technology Stewards at each level act as mentors
- 11. Bridging Contexts w/Tech Stewards Conclusion; Three Levels of Technology Stewards Level Responsibility Aim Strategic PVC Technical Infrastructure Enabling Platform Staff Course Team Learning Resources Learning Ecology Students Students Union New Technologies Resource Discovery
