Sound of the Bazaar 3 - Sleeve Notes

Quality, pedagogy and e-learning 2.

Graham Attwell talks about new ways of looking at quality in the light of the emergent e-learning 2. He questions the effectiveness of existing quality assurance measures, which he says, ignore the context of learning, and suggests present quality methods based essentially on expert opinion have failed. Social software offers new tools for quality assurance. A short video on the same subject can be found on Graham Attwell's main weblog, the Wales Wide Web.

Web site of the week
The featured web site of the week is the Cynefin Centre. The Cynefin Centre is an international network that focuses on the application of complexity science to management and organisational practice. At the heart of the Cynefin Centre is a distinction between ordered and unordered systems, and the consequent recognition that systems with fundamentally different qualities require the application of contextually differentiated methods for both diagnosis and intervention.

The Bazaar Interview
The Bazaar interview is with Mike Malloch form Knownet in Wales. Mike talks about standards for education, the development of Web 2.0 and his views on Personal Learning Environments. The interview took place at the Bolton Institute seminar on Personal Learning environments held in June. Mark van Harmelen from the University of Manchester has developed a Wiki as a resource for PLE research and development.

Mike Malloch's position paper for the seminar can be found on his weblog - e-Learning2.0.
