The Anthropology of Cybercultures
Conditional Remix & Share Permitted
CC BY-NC-SA
Rating
0.0 stars

This course explores a range of contemporary scholarship oriented to the study of ‘cybercultures,’ with a focus on research inspired by ethnographic and more broadly anthropological perspectives. Taking anthropology as a resource for cultural critique, the course will be organized through a set of readings chosen to illustrate central topics concerning the cultural and material practices that comprise digital technologies. We’ll examine social histories of automata and automation; the trope of the ‘cyber’ and its origins in the emergence of cybernetics during the last century; cybergeographies and politics; robots, agents and humanlike machines; bioinformatics and artificial life; online sociality and the cyborg imaginary; ubiquitous and mobile computing; ethnographies of research and development; and geeks, gamers and hacktivists. We’ll close by considering the implications for all of these topics of emerging reconceptualizations of sociomaterial relations, informed by feminist science and technology studies.

Rating
0.0 stars

This is a brief tutorial for teachers and/or students in using the main features of Google Expeditions and Tour Creator. I demonstrate the interface of the Expeditions app on iPad and Smartphone, both from a teacher and student perspective. I also show an example of the Tour Creator which is newly available from Google/Poly and has potential for student artifact creation as well as custom teacher-made materials. In an attached document I explain how these newer functions satisfy the concerns expressed by some toward VR and how they support a Digital Didactical Design teaching model.

IMLS Fellowship Course
Rating
0.0 stars

In this course we will look at ways to change the narrative on school libraries from questioning the need for them or how to renovate the industrial era models of a single, shared resource environment to a learner-centered model.  We will work on how to move beyond traditional concepts, personal biases and even past current Learning Commons and Maker Spaces to creating learning environments where resources are ubiquitously accessible to students in virtual and physical formats.    We will look at the enormous complexity of this model in a K-12 school and why not exploring unique, alternative concepts may be hastening the elimination of school librarians.

The module asks students to think beyond their current experiences in school libraries.  We will look at content that is not specific to school, yet it will be the basis for discussions about how it might apply in future school library environments. You will ask your students to "think out of the box" for the moment then consider those futurist ideas when planning a space for today while knowing the space  should be flexible enough to accommodate futuristic possibilities.

Immersive Experiences in Natural and Cultural History Education

Imagine being transported into an entirely new world, or see the world you know being transformed in fantastical ways: that is what immersive experiences can deliver. Traditional classroom learning can be restrictive and at times dull, but virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), and mixed reality (MR) can offer transformative learning experiences that are novel, interactive, and exciting. There is nothing quite like the immersive experience that this media and these technologies offer. It these experiences and this technology pertaining to education and natural and cultural history that we explore in this open course.

Navigating Virtual Meeting Spaces in Education
Unrestricted Use

Rating
0.0 stars

Virtual meeting spaces have now become integral to modern education and have the potential to make education more accessible, engaging, collaborative and relevant in our rapidly changing world. In this OER we explore how virtual meeting spaces have evolved over the past few decades with an emphasis on the critical role of interfaces in shaping the virtual meeting experience. We investigate what future virtual meeting spaces may look like and attempt to reimagine a future where standards in education are maintained and virtual environments are responsive to learners, society and environmental needs.
