DML 2017 Preconference Workshop
Staking your claim for teaching and learning on the open web
To learn something, pay attention to, and practice what leaders in the field are doing.
Yesterday Allen Levine along with Kim Jackson offered a DML2017 preconference workshop. To learn how to create online learning environments check it out. The Open Educational Resources offered within this website include almost everything I’ve been looking for to design an online environment that affords learning digital literacies. Participants are invited to “to imagine, play, and and stake their own bit of land on the open web, learning to curate, make, network, collaborate, and create robust identities.”
Open web trail rides
Lots of how to links here and great examples of connectivist courses and learning experiences here.

edX OpenEd MOOC
Why am I here?
I am here to practice and reflect upon
connectivism. My name is Arthur Oglesby (aka
@ARTiFactor). In 2012 (The Year of the MOOC) I changed my learning focus from being a webmaster to mastering the web.
Howard Rheingold’s book, NetSmart, recommended networking within communities of like minded others. I first practiced this in
#OLDSMOOC (
Open Learning Design Studio MOOC) where I declared “I wish to design learning environments which empower learners to thrive”.
Open Access
Open should consider handicaps like being blind, deaf, or illiterate. Literacy includes how to use technology, accessing internet, how to find resources, and knowing what to do when you don’t know what to do.
Connecting
It is hard to connect if you don’t know where or when the party is happening. Even if you do, you may not participate if you don’t feel welcome (lurking mode safer). I find that Twitter hashtags like #openedmooc can function as a bulletin board directing the community to distributed content.

Someone mentioned me!
I can still remember the intense rush I felt, when during my first ever MOOC, I was mentioned by name in the “day 1” review.
I think most people like to be noticed and know that they have been heard.
I was tickled that my major role model, Helen Crump mentioned my end of MOOC reflection
When Simon Ensor mentions my project proposal post in #rhizo14 it felt like a spot light was shining on me.
I followed Dave Cormier into a small physics maker MOOC and can now say he “knows my name”.

Objectives:
- Develop a deeper understanding of the Web: look at history of ideas that gave birth to the web, and the various cultures that have emerged from it, in order to understand the values and aspirations that inform connected learning.
- Explore the web’s “threshold concepts” by working with case studies: understand concepts and ways of thinking that support web fluency through the exploration of sites over time.
- Gain fluency in multimodal composing on the web

How to be a participant in CLMOOC
5 Steps to Succeed in a MOOC
To learn how to be participate in Making Learning Connected, otherwise known as CLMOOC, I recommend this Dave Cormier video, “Success in a MOOC“.
CLMOOC is a community where people can learn how to do or be anything they want to.
One of the goals for CLMOOC is to engage participants in interest-driven, making-centered experiences that embody Connected Learning Principles and to adopt a collaborative approach and a reflective stance toward the processes of making and learning.
Orient
Learning together implies communicating and in this MOOC involves using social media like Twitter, Google +, blogs, Google Hangouts, and/or Facebook. Check out this link for Guides to Social Tools.
Declare
For Make Cycle #1, we are asked to Make a How to Be, something that introduces who we are. I will do a Make titled “How to Change the World”
