Fostering a climate of produsage in Schools.

I posted in the canvas discussion forum that one of the main issues with implementing produsage was the fact that often children did not have any apparent 'skin in the game' or anything to lose from a poor education. I've since been trying to find articles on how to make children desire or value education. What I have found pertains largely to getting children to desire learning or delink feelings of fear from learning - which is well and good. But not being afraid of learning is different from a hunger to learn. Why do immigrant children often do better in test results - partly because of this drive to succeed and learn - partly because of understanding what test results represent in the long run.

Here's another one of the websites that I've been looking at, take a read! http://www.ldonline.org/article/5873/

Thinking of produsage

I've been trying to think about the produsage topic and it seems to me that I have come to a bit of a ID's block. I think one thing that I am worried about is that I might be biting off more than I could chew - and in doing so, unnecessarily increase my workload in a period where all the major assignments of my other modules are beginning to pile up. Regardless, my extreme idea for now is as such. Concept: Using role-playing games that focus on ethical and moral dilemmas to facilitate discussions on morality among military officers. Medium: The role-playing game can be developed on a various levels - technically it should be written from the Second-person perspective, for example " You see a child clutching a hand-grenade, trembling, walking ever so slowly towards you"  . I would imagine that based on the time I have, I would scale the quality of the development from Microsoft Powerpoint being the lowest, to a game engine like a visual novel maker. (I am current...

Week 10: Reflection Post

I'm going to do my reflection post a bit early this time because I have a few more assignments to complete before the end of the week. I think the main thing that's on my mind now, coming to the end of the course is the question of evaluation: How do we evaluate a produsage-centered course? Do we evaluate it like how we would an instructional course? Using Kirkpatrick's 4 levels of evaluation: Level 1 - Trainee sentiments of the course. I would imagine that this would examine: Metrics examining platforms' usability. Metrics examining instructor proficiency and helpfulness. Metrics examining effectiveness of material. Metrics examining relevance of material. Largely survey-based I think on a usual likert scale. Level 2 - Trainee Proficiency This would probably examine: Trainee's understanding of civil military relations. Trainee's understanding of military law. Trainee's understanding of just war doctrine and application of Jus ad bellum...

Week 10 - Extended Realities Technologies as part of Produsage (Part 2)

I thought I should really try to delve into and draft out my produsage assignment a bit more so that I can get a head start before the submission next sunday. I got 4 different assignments to submit by the same deadline, so things are likely to get pretty crazy - doesn't help that I have one more assignment to submit four days after! Haaahhahah! This blog will probably go dark next week - will cash in all my remaining tokens to clear out all the work.  Produsage Assignment: Concept   Theories of Learning and Cognition to be used:  Constructivism - Uses optimally guided instructional model as articulated by Michael Hannafin et al., (1997) Hannafin, M.
