Aprendizagem e Criatividade: "The Maker Movement and the Rebirth of Constructionism", por Jonan Donaldson

Constructionism brings creativity, tinkering, exploring, building, and presentation to the forefront of the learning process. - Jonan Donaldson

"The Maker Movement and the Rebirth of Constructionism" é um artigo incontornável para quem acredita numa relação profunda entre criatividade e aprendizagem. É igualmente uma excelente leitura para quem aguarda há algum tempo pelo reconhecimento da enorme importância do 'Construcionismo', teoria desenvolvida por Seymour Papert, para o sucesso da aprendizagem no século XXI.

Constructionism is based on two types of construction. First, it asserts that learning is an active process, in which people actively construct knowledge from their experience in the world. People don’t get ideas; they make them. This aspect of construction comes from the constructivist theory of knowledge development by Jean Piaget. To Piaget’s concept, Papert added another type of construction, arguing that people construct new knowledge with particular effectiveness when they are engaged in constructing personally meaningful products. - Kafai, Peppler, e Chapman (2009), citados por Jonan Donaldson

Peer feedback to facilitate project-based learning in an online environment

Yu-Hui Ching, Yu-Chang Hsu

Abstract

There has been limited research examining the pedagogical benefits of peer feedback for facilitating project-based learning in an online environment. Using a mixed method approach, this paper examines graduate students’ participation and perceptions of peer feedback activity that supports project-based learning in an online instructional design course. Our findings indicate that peer feedback can be implemented in an online learning environment to effectively support project-based learning. Students actively participated in the peer feedback activity and responded positively about how the peer feedback activity facilitated their project-based learning experiences. The results of content analysis exploring the peer feedback reveal that learners were mostly supportive of peers’ work and they frequently asked questions to help advance their peers’ thinking. The implications and challenges of implementing peer feedback activity in an online learning environment are discussed.

Metaverso Criativo: Scott Rolfe

"Second Life is, contrary to the public perception, not a place where lonely people ignore each other; it is a meeting of minds for creative folks!" Now when a tiny otter says that, we have to take note: Austin, Texas based assemblage artist Scott Rolfe represents himself in the Metaverse via the energetic critter complete with fedora hat and shaded sunglasses and he has not longed for a humanoid avatar since 2008. Both worlds, physical and digital, complement each other, he enthusiastically states, be it transferring recycled art pieces to the virtual realm all the while adding a bit of extra interactivity or converting 2D illustrations into giant immersive exhibits. Scott Rolfe embraces the unique possibilities of Second Life not only by making beautiful things but also by socializing: the vibrant international arts community in SL is reminiscent of college life, says Scott - giving and receiving feedback, critiquing one another with respect, a collaborative environment that fosters free expression rather than the usual competitive winner-takes-all philosophy so prevalent in many areas of modern life.

Através do Second Life, Scott Rolfe acrescenta uma nova dimensão ao seu trabalho.

Security risks and protection in online learning: A survey

Security risks and protection in online learning: A survey

Yong Chen, Wu He

Abstract

This paper describes a survey of online learning which attempts to determine online learning providers’ awareness of potential security risks and the protection measures that will diminish them. The authors use a combination of two methods: blog mining and a traditional literature search. The findings indicate that, while scholars have identified diverse security risks and have proposed solutions to mitigate the security threats in online learning, bloggers have not discussed security in online learning with great frequency. The differences shown in the survey results generated by the two different methods confirm that online learning providers and practitioners have not considered security as a top priority. The paper also discusses the next generation of an online learning system: a safer personal learning environment which requires a one-stop solution for authentication, assures the security of online assessments, and balances security and usability.
