Comments on: edcMooc artefact: Intersections http://edc13.education.ed.ac.uk/chantellem/2013/02/08/edcmooc-artefact/ part of the MSc in E-learning at the University of Edinburgh Fri, 29 Mar 2013 15:31:26 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.4.1 By: Steph Carr http://edc13.education.ed.ac.uk/chantellem/2013/02/08/edcmooc-artefact/#comment-216 Steph Carr Sun, 17 Feb 2013 20:05:12 +0000 http://edc13.education.ed.ac.uk/chantellem/?p=318#comment-216 I think this is a great artefact. It's visually very appealing and this really tempts people in. The pulling together, and display, of lots of digital artefacts was, to me, a very apposite response given so many people were struggling with the concept. I think this is a great artefact.

It struck me as a very good example of curatorship--obviously much more than being a 'digital librarian'. I really liked the use of lines and intersections–rather rhizome-ish!

Very inspiring, thanks. What a great example of collaborative work. Very inspiring, thanks.

Indeed there is so many new tools out there to use. This is my first attempt with thinglink and I was surprised to find that it can be such an effective tool. However, I think the key to thinglink is the image one chooses. I was lucky to have visited Sol Lewitt's exhibition at Mass MOCA at New England in the summer and took loads of pictures. And edcMooc students like yourself have created some really inspiring work, which I could link them to the image. Without these data and content, the overall effect would have been very different.

I do prefer this to the mindmapping concept with neuron-like shapes. I think the latter assumes that things will naturally grow out of each neuron, but in reality , there is a lot of work involved in making a community work. In the case of Moocs, the concept of connectivism, where knowledge can be found everywhere, from different individuals/sources. The starting point is more like Sol Lewitt's lines as seen above, and then it can move on to the more 'growth-like' metaphors. I also think that Sol Lewitt's work says something about transliteracy, because he always starts from the very basic in art which I guess are these lines, shapes and primary colours. With just these, he has produced with many designs. Any multimodal work, must surely be built from the very basic and then augmented, and added with other modality. Phil, thanks for your comments.

What knowledge will be uncovered when data is visualised big scale? This image really begins highlight the possibilities of DATA mapping – what is hiding in learner activity?
