An update from Derick Robertson on the UoD EduShare The central sharing hub for #UoDedu teacher education students at the University of Dundee.
He includes a list of early evidence:
- since September 2015 we have had 775 posts shared to UoDEdushare;
- we arec seeing a developing culture of collegiate commenting on peers’ blogs;
- we are seeing some tutors commenting on blogs;
- comments on blogs are coming in from other Teacher Ed students as well as a whole of host of other people interested in education;
- student/learners are taking ownership of promoting their voice by publishing links to their posts on social media with appropriate hashtags to help target their posts (ours is #uodedu);
- writing in an articulate manner on their site about evidencing how they are attaining the GTCS Professional Standards;
- questioning why you would want to be part of a closed educational community as opposed to a global one;
I know it is still very early days for the work that we are doing with the new ePortfolio however I do think that what is in evidence here is the need for those concerned with effective transformational change in the digital learning space to really think about the learning culture that they want to engender
