Apresentação no I Seminário de Inovação em Rede no Ensino Universitário a Distância – #iNOVead – a 6 de junho de 2013, no Palácio Ceia, Universidade Aberta, onde se fala do modelo da UAb.pt para MOOCs (iMOOC) e do curso piloto sobre Alterações Climáticas no contexto das experiências de vida – #imoocac13.
Depois de um processo estimulante e muito, muito divertido para construirmos colaborativamente uma apresentação alargada mas, ao mesmo tempo, integrada dos vários tipos de ambientes de aprendizagem online e de algumas utilizações possíveis, aqui fica o resultado (com áudio) tal como foi apresentado na ticEDUCA2012 (02-12-2012), no Simpósio “xLE – Ecologias de colaboração, cooperação e aprendizagem online” que organizei com a Paula Silva, a Maria João, o João Paz e o Paulo Simões (pela ordem de apresentação).
De salientar que o facto de termos apresentado a um domingo de manhã, pelas 9 horas, pode ter tido influência no facto de, pelo meio, se ter falado da Hello Kitty, de LEGOs e da Abelha Maia. Digressões que, naturalmente, ficaram só para os corajosos (seriam 8, talvez) que madrugaram connosco.
No slide 2 estão os links para as outras apresentações nesse simpósio.
This is the interview I did with Terry Anderson on September 17, 2012, for the Laboratory of Distance Education and eLearning [LE@D], Universidade Aberta, Portugal. Open access, MOOCs, the Community of Inquiry Model and the Interaction Equivalency Theorem were some of the topics addressed.
This is a presentation I did for the SupSys project on Personal Learning Environments.
Mais um dia muito bem passado ontem na 3ª Conferência do Mestrado em Pedagogia do eLearning da Universidade Aberta, myMPeL2012. Estudantes de várias edições, incluindo os que agora iniciam o seu percurso, professores, convidados, constroem muitos momentos de partilha e aprendizagem valiosos que ficam como culminar do percurso de uns e estímulo e desafio para os que iniciam essa viagem.
A minha apresentação foi, inevitavelmente, dedicada aos MOOCs.

Decorre nesta semana de 22 a 28 de Outubro de 2012 a Open Access Week, evento internacional a que a Universidade Aberta se associou com diversas actividades. Aqui fica a apresentação que fiz hoje, 23-10-2012, sobre o futuro dos Recursos Educacionais Abertos, na sessão intitulada “A UAb e o Acesso Aberto: um compromisso com futuro”, que teve o apoio do Laboratório de Educação a Distância e eLearning [LE@D].
Here’s an interview I did with Miguel Zapata-Ros at the Laboratory of Distance Education and eLearning [LE@D], Universidade Aberta, on October 9, 2012. It’s around 40 minutes long, during which we talk (in Spanish, well, Miguel, at least) about the current state of elearning, open access, MOOCs and the role of teachers and universities in these fast changing times.
A minha apresentação no I Encontro sobre Ensino e Aprendizagem Virtual na Universidade dos Açores, que decorreu nos dias 13 e 14 de Setembro de 2012 em Ponta Delgada.
Following in the footsteps of PLE Barcelona (2010, original site down) and PLE Southampton (2011), this year’s The PLE Conference, held both in Aveiro and in Melbourne from 11 to 13 July, was a very exciting and rewarding opportunity for learning, sharing and hanging out with the PLE community. Because the two venues were in different time zones, there was an uninterrupted flow of information and news for around three days (well, it’s still going on, in fact). You can have a taste of what went on by reading the #PLEConf stream on Twitter (Click on “all” to see all the tweets). I am sure you’ll find plenty of food for thought and interesting people to follow.
The local organizing team, lead by Carlos Santos and Luís Pedro, did a great job in keeping up with the special spirit of this conference – everything went smoothly and the online presence of the conference, with a page for each session, the community site and an experience around badges, was great. On top of that, the facilities (known as the catacombs) couldn’t be more suitable for the “unconference” nature of the event. Congrats!
Both Day 1 and Day 2 (un)keynotes were crowdsourced, but using different strategies. For day 1, António Dias Figueiredo & Frances Bell called out for questions regarding the concept of Personal Learning Environments.The initial reaction was slow, but a second, provocative post - PLEs: Science of Fad? – set things on track and provided a good selection of questions that were then discussed during the keynote. For day 2, Gráinne Conole & Ricardo Torres Kompen (chosen by conference participants) decided to ask four questions that contributors could answer in any way they liked (text, video, presentation, etc.). You can find all the great material they gathered on Cloudworks and contribute to the follow-up debate.
Then there were the sessions, always in very participative, conversational formats, where everyone could contribute while learning from others. My empirical perception is that the reflection around PLEs has matured a lot, which made for deep and substantial discussions both in the sessions and in the informal conversations that went on all the time.
I did a workshop with Maria João Spilker and Paula Silva (fantastic to work with them) – Content Curation for Personal Learning and Sharing – and Rui Páscoa, Sérgio Lagoa (who couldn’t come to the conference) & João Brogueira presented the paper Pedagogical Practices, Personal Learning Environments and the Future of eLearning which I co-authored. I was very happy with the results in both sessions.
It’s always a good idea to stay until the end in the PLEConf, because it always finishes on a high note. The Speaker’s Corner, organized by Graham Attwell around teams defending motions proposed by participants (the more controversial, the better), was hilarious. The perfect ending for yet another awesome PLE Conference.Till next year, amazing PLE community.
