Linking Personal Learning with Institutional Learning - Experiences from the RAMBLE Project Miscellaneous
2006.
Abstract | BibTeX | Tags: blogging, blogs, e-learning, education, hardware, infrastructure, labs, mobile, PDA, pedagogy, RAMBLE, reflective learning, systems, technology
@misc{traffordLinkingPersonalLearning2006,
title = {Linking Personal Learning with Institutional Learning - Experiences from the RAMBLE Project},
author = {Paul Trafford and Karl Harrison},
year = {2006},
date = {2006-05-01},
address = {Department of Educational Studies, University of Oxford},
abstract = {In recent years there has been considerable attention on 'personalised learning,' an agenda that is carrying increasing weight with the UK Government. Applying this paradigm in ICT has major implications, particularly when taking into account ever-more popular and powerful pocket computers covering Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs) and Smartphones. Yet in most institutions, existing IT systems have been conceived on a grand scale and in fixed spaces requiring laptop or desktop computers. Hence there is discontinuity between the flexibility and personalisation of the truly mobile devices and the more static and impersonal nature of institutional systems. 'Remote Authoring of Mobile Blogs for Learning Environments' (or 'RAMBLE' for short), was a JISC-funded software project that attempted to bring these more closely together through the authoring of Weblogs written on PDAs and their integration in institutional Virtual Learning Environments (VLEs). This presentation will briefly introduce some of RAMBLE's background in terms of personal and personalised learning with some discussion of the component-based approached that enabled the linking to be established. Experiences will be shared from one of the requirements gathering exercises involving feedback from Chemistry Undergraduates regarding lecture course, practicals etc, the results of which appear to have tapped a rich vein. Finally some indications will be provided of the technical challenges and possible further developments that lie ahead.},
