I plan to introduce Open Learning Commons: the idea, its history, and the current status of the project. I will then show a bunch of the open-source software that composes the learning commons infrastructure and describe some of the co-learning groups who are making use of that infrastructure (Things like their practices and topics of interest). I will then open the session up to questions and discussion about peer learning (peeragogy), open educational resources/EdTech, and community networks more generally.
Type: streamed talk (Show and tell :P )
Length: 30 minutes or less for the talk, as I'd rather have more time for questions and discussion
Date: between August 7-9
Duration: once
Language: English
Objective
• See what's currently alive and accessible within the Open Learning Commons
• Learn about the opportunities for self-organized peer learning
• Open discussion and sharing of knowledge on the topics explored in the talk with the network in the room
Material and Technical Requirements
Platform: videoconferencing
Technical considerations: I'll need to be able to screen-share, and share links. I have my own zoom room, and ideally I'd be able to use that if that’s OK. (Using Meet.Coop's BigBlueButton servers is another option)
Robert Best is a community organizer and free culture hacker. His areas of interest include peer-to-peer technologies, collective intelligence, commoning, social entrepreneurship, and the future of work. His current major projects are Open Learning Commons and Rapid Sensemaking Framework
