This master's-level course provides an overview of theoretical and practical issues that are of current relevance to e-learning. It focuses specifically on the practices and technologies associated with Web 2.0 (e.g. blogs, wikis and other social software), and social, political and theoretical issues raised by the use of and research into these technologies. Emphasis will be placed on open source software, open educational resources, and on creating media (in textual and other forms) that are openly available. The course will be held both online and face-to-face. The delivery mode will generally alternate each week, with odd weeks (italicized in the listing below) being face-to-face.

  • First deliverable: Active and engaged participation in online communication using blogs, discussion and other technologies.
  • Second deliverable: A fully-developed open educational resource (i.e. an Wiki page, an interactive exercise, or other resource that can be used in teaching and learning). This is to be accompanied by a document explaining the following about the resource:
    • Intended audience and teaching "application"
    • Interoperability characteristics (and limitations)
    • Learning to be addressed by resource
    • Possible ways of re-using and re-purposing resource
    • Where the resource has been submitted (i.e. to which online collection or repository)
  • Third task or deliverable: Presentation on reflective technology use, or related research or development work. A 25 minute presentation on technology use in the classroom, technology research in (or outside of) the university, or technology development that is independently- or institutionally-based. This presentation will be made in front of one's peers (and the instructor) and can be related to one's MEd research, teaching activities, or reading and experiences during the course. This task or deliverable will be evaluated based on the quality of the presentation, the supporting materials prepared for the presentation (PowerPoint presentations, handouts, etc.) and the quality of the discussion held at the end of the presentation.
