Creative Learning Cultures
educational innovationsin a Web2.0-world
May 2011Umeå Universitet
Outline
• Millions of users in Wikipedia (collaboration; ProSumers = consumers+producers)
• Thousands of online discussion boards (e.g., marathon training, health, movies…)
• Facebook (e.g., volcano ash cloud: people provided private accommodations organized carpools via Facebook)
• Twitter (e.g., information about protests during Iran election, 2009)
• Crowdsourcing* (e.g., Amazon Mechanical Turk, Innocentive = Internet services, new form of knowledge generating processes)
Web 1.0 = download onlyWeb 2.0 = communication
*Jahnke & Prilla, 2008 (Eds. Back, Gronau, Tochtermann)
…and problems
– Wikipedia: ‘opinion-maker/-leader’ for many people; true information?
– Data privacy: marketing companies make profiles about user’s behavior
– Stalking with GPS tracking
– Cheating in universities: students use Wikipedia and other easy-to-find Internet-sources without cite them correctly
People using Web2.0 without knowing about the data problems, OR they know however they still use it (how to teach “reflection”?)*
New “socio-technical relationships”** with emergent properties (socio-technically constructed)

How to design (develop & evaluate)
Technology-enhanced learningsuccessfully?
Research question
Wasson (2007): Design and Use of Technology Enhanced Learning Environments
What does “successful” mean?
What elements can be designed?
What are appropriate methods?
Jahnke et al. 2010, GMW Zurich; REV Stockholm
1) Degree of structural coupling (degree of interdependency) how close/loose are the three elements connected Technical Systems Social-organizational Structures Educational, didactical Concepts
2) Degree of quality how good the three elements play together The better the unit,…
… the better they share knowledge … the better they learn… the more the users (teachers/students/university managers,…) are satisfied (with the “embeddedness”)
3) Successful for which people? different target groups and different roles (dynamical changes!)
(students, professors, teachers, lifelong learners, newbies, experts) in different situations (e.g., courses), in different systems (universities, faculties, different cultures)
What does “successful” mean?(regarding computer-enhanced learning)

Socio-technical paradigm what we already know
• Socio-technical approach / CSCW(e.g., Data/information/Knowledge, Willke 2001; knowledge management systems, Coakes 2002; G. Fischer 2007)
• CSCL: co-construction of knowledge(e.g., Koschmann, Stahl, Suthers, Dillenbourg 2003)
+ Socio-technical Communities/STC (e.g., Communities of practice, Wenger & et al. 2002; Online communities, Preece, 2000)
+ New view on roles -position, -actor’s activities/tasks, -implicit/explicit expectations, -role-making

Creativity in HE
Description (Enabling students to do…) Examples„What is a creative effort of students?“
6. Original, entirely new ideas
The production of many ideas can be encouraged through creativity techniques and appropriate environment: ‘enable the possibility of arrival’; Allowing and encouraging mistakes.
• Showing, using new ways of solutions
• Students create new relations (between existing topics)
• Unusual, original topics for presentations etc.
• A new „story“ about a research topic 5. Fostering a new culture of thinking
Change of perspective, break through routines and patterns of habit, take a different attitude, reduce prejudice, integrate provocations, dealing with ambiguities, reflection on one's own creativity and thought-structure, knowledge about the inner-workings of the brain.
• Several perspectives on one topic (multiple perspect.)
• Deviances from standards and routines
• Relations to different disciplines
4. Fostering constructive learning
…where students create something; creation of, for example, interconnections in theses, research-mode learning projects, aid and outreach projects; planning a conference.
• Students create something (e.g., conference planning/-conduction; e-Infrastructure-concept; podcasts; students design a lesson for other students) instead of doing a traditional presentation
3. Fostering fascination / increasing motivation to learn
Enabling situated learning, use experiences of students, developing interesting ways to pose questions or problems; richness/variety; establish a link to practice; use of metaphors, humor
• Students use their own experiences (e.g., experiences as student worker, from school etc.)…
• …and integrate these into lectures, courses
• Students are fascinated from the topics
2. Fostering the ability to work autonomously
Enabling the individual student to set the acquisition of knowledge in motion; Enabling students to learn that they are responsible for steering the processes of learning; enabling to make one's own decisions.
• Students develop own research questions and choose a topic autonomously
• Students work on the topic and organize the learning process self-controlled and autonomously
• They create own learning outcomes1. Fostering independent, self-reflective learning
Learner ‘constructs’ knowledge oneself rather than adopting it; enabling students to hold an internal dialog, breaking out of a receptive posture, supporting lateral and critical thinking.
• critical thinking, when students think about (quality of discussion contributions)
• not repetitive
• Students identify stereotypes, assumption
• They do more than task is given

EXP
Experts evaluation (June 2009)32 Items, 4 Cluster
Experiment• What is a successful EXP? (if the experiment „fails” what will the learner learn then?)
Technical design• Booking system, schedule
Educational Design• Standardized framework• Learning level of complexity• more active tasks than passive reading (every approx. 10 minutes, an active task is needed; it affects motivation)
Social Design• Review process (Who gives feedback to whom in the phases of writing a report?)

Informatics Portal University of Dortmund = InPUD, a socio-technical community (STC), launched 2002
RQ: How to design knowledge management about study organization?
Methods: • Open-ended interviews (with students and teachers, professors, study
advisors) before the STC was initiated (2001-2002) -> reveal student’s problems
• Standardized questionnaires before launching the STC (2002) and
seven years later (2009) - online survey
Participant observation supplemented with interviews(in particular 2002-2004)

Improvements by InPUD
• When to attend what courses
• How to combine lectures, tutorials, practical courses etc
• Who is responsible for what in the department
• Getting in contact with other students
• How many hours do I need to complete the course
• When to expect problems
Improvements & side-by effects
No effects(no improvements by InPUD)
• When and how to prepare for what examinations
• How important a lecture/course is for the studies/job/competence development etc.
Lessons learned Knowledge sharing is more effective with an STC than with Web 1.0 conditions onlyAn STC is an effective supplement to formal learning
Explanations STC supports flexibility
• anywhere, anytime • easier to engage users, integration of weakly coupled
users Different access to information and knowledge STC supports a better learning chance for all An STC provides flexible communication spaces with a
specific quality of relationships (foster social proximity through ICT)
=> Knowledge management needs a balance of “static” information (Web 1.0) AND communication spaces (Web 2.0) (what balance? => depends on target groups, their needs)

a) What media-/ i-literacies do students have? Study about „Being 3.0“ and awareness (1 year)
b) What media competencies do teachers (in schools/Univ) have? Study about teachers and their competencies using new media in HE; how they use what Social Media in HE; attitudes and habitus; what learning outcomes do they enable (2 years)
c) How to design creative learning scenarios in disciplines successfully? What role plays new media? Based on DaVINCI results „Fostering creativity in HE cultures“, developing/implementing creative teaching and learning arrangements (e.g., PeTEX); (2-3 years)
d) What potentials do informal learning have? Research about the connection of formal and informal learning supported by Social Media Lifelong learning; CSCL at the workplace, cf. InPUD; (3 years)
e) What are sufficient assessments when implememting competence-/creativity-oriented learning processes? when teaching does foster creativity, examiniations also must include creativity aspects instead of traditional examinations (3 years)
f) To what extent are (student‘s) evaluations of teaching useful for improving teaching/learning? Study about existing evaluation practices, and good practices regarding competence-oriented evaluation (e.g., Berlin „BevaKomp), developing design criteria (2 years)
g) Visions, innovations, prototyps are required BUT bring it into practice: To what extend and how to transfer innovative TEL scenarios in practice?
Transformation of higher education Creative lifelong learning cultures
Universities today• Central learning locations
• Focus on formal learningin classes
• Focus on presence
• Focusing individual learning
• Teaching paradigm (teacher-centered courses)
• Focus on content
• Teacher are experts
• Professional knowledge
Future tasks of universities (Education 2.0)• Organizing different learning spaces
(including material from Internet, access to social media)
• Managing formal, non-formal and informal learning spaces
• Specific integration of presence, blended, online learning, co-located learning (see BOLD, Michael Power)
• Mix of individual, collaborative, cooperative,community learning, and mobile learning
• Learning paradigm with appropriate instructions(e.g., research-based learning, Alan Jenkins)
• Supporting co-construction of knowledge, capability to perform/act (knowledge, skills, behavior = competences)
• Teachers are experts BUT also moderators, coaches (depends on situation)
• Professional knowledge sharing embedded into creative, inspiring learning cultures
Teaching and Learning…between instruction (teacher) and construction (learner)
“Learning is an active process of constructing rather than acquiring knowledge – and instruction is a process of supporting that construction rather than communicating knowledge”
