Episode #67. Saturday July 17, 2021, 11:30 am EDT; 4:30 pm in the UK
Episode Abstract: Without doubt, we are in a world in flux. In this flux-filled world, we educators have difficult choices and challenges in front of us. As such, Silver Lining for Learning is delighted that to have a show devoted to the future of the education world. In this session, Gilly Salmon will discuss four possibilities for an education world post-pandemic, including (1) restore, (2) adapt, (3) evolve, and (4) transform (see related video), and attempt to get the Silver Lining for Learning audience to contemplate which direction they are heading. In parallel to this, Gilly recently took an historical look at the higher education in her 2019 article in the Journal of Learning for Development, “May the Fourth Be with you: Creating Education 4.0.” Employing this article as a base, we will discuss Education 1.0 (i.e., using the Web as a Transmission tool), Education 2.0 (i.e., using the Web for Social exchange and collaboration), Education 3.0 (i.e., using the Web (or Semantic Web) for our Digital lives and Mobility), and Education 4.0 (i.e., finding ourselves in the Symbiotic Web (i.e., the symbiosis between artificial and human intelligences). During this session, Dr. Salmon will also discuss her five stage model of online moderation, her extensive work on e-moderating and e-tivities, and her Carpe Diem approach to learning design. Of course, during this session we will also reflect on her career from her time as Head of the Beyond Distance Research Alliance of the Media Zoo at the University of Leicester to becoming Pro Vice-Chancellor of Education Innovation, at the University of Western Australia and much more (see bio below). Hope to see you there.
