The above slides are to be used during a brief use case being presented tomorrow to the Open Education Workshop 2008 at Macquarie University.

The talk covers an overview of “Connectivism and Connective Knowledge“, my experiences as a student of the course and a quick discussion of some of the tools used by the other students.

Unfortunately with only 5 minutes allotted for the entire talk I can’t go into much detail. We have also been told to limit our visuals to under 3 slides (as you can see I broke the rules there) – so I’ve had to be tactical about what was included. Given the bulk of the workshop seems to reflect an interest in more technological aspects, and those of transparency and of course openness – I’ve opted to outline the platforms I used to engage in the course, with the nature of the engagement discussed orally.

As much as I want to elaborate on the fact the participatory models are heavily influenced and informed by the subject matter being explored – and what the key themes and topics were – I suspect I will only be able to reference them in passing. Hopefully there will be opportunities to discuss this more at-length later in the day, and particularly after the event has drawn to a close.

I’ll be posting a reflection here shortly that elaborates on my experiences and thoughts about CCK08 in greater detail. It’s been a fantastic experience and I want to ensure it receives the attention it deserves.
