EDUCAUSE Quarterly Magazine, Volume 32, Number 1, 2009 By Elizabeth J. Aspden and Louise P. Thorpe Learning environment development has been a key part of the Academic Innovation Team’s remit for a number of years at Sheffield Hallam University (see About Us). Beginning with our research into the impact of e-learning on the student experience in 2002 — and recognizing the way e-learning influenced students’ views of physical spaces — we started to look more closely at the ways in which our students and faculty use on-campus spaces, and at ways in which our environments needed to evolve. A recurring theme that emerged was the importance of serendipitous meetings and the ad hoc use of those "in between" times: in between taught sessions, in between focused study, in between study and home.
The workshop focuses on current research trends in technology enhanced learning solutions that aim at addressing the multiplicity and complexity of needs of Communities of Practice all along their lifecycle.
Splicing information and social relations to suite the needs of different situations is increasingly important. The fields of learning and development have not yet been transformed to the online environment. The combination of learning/knowledge analytics, data visualization, and activity streams provide, I think, a sufficient basis for educators to begin planning for a post-course view of education.

Characteristics of effective teams lists them as having: * Clear objectives * Good decision-making processes * Trust, co-operation and constructive dissent * Clear roles, responsibilities and leadership * Sound relationships with other groups * Analysis of the team’s performance Questions to reflect on: 1. Which of these characteristics are present in my team of e-tutors? 2. If some of these characteristics are not in place, what are the consequences for our performance? 3. What can I do to introduce or strengthen the characteristics?

"...la docencia híbrida no debe centrarse únicamente en alternar educación presencial con educación a distancia mediada por tecnología, sino que debe promover un uso más efectivo en el aula de las posibilidades de aprendizaje que ofrecen las herramientas digitales, con un mejor aprovechamiento de la tecnología para crear experiencias centradas en el alumno, que sean personalizadas, relevantes y atractivas" (BID, 2021: 7).

I'm interested that when Michael Wesch or Howard Rheingold undertake this sort of social/distributed teaching, they rely quite heavily on RAs to pick u the slack and fill in the gaps. Perhaps that where I'm going wrong, expecting the students to achieve this sort of outcome with insufficient scaffolding.

British Universities have world-class reputations and they are vital to our social and economic future. But they are in a tight spot. The huge public investment that sustained much of the sector is in jeopardy and the current way of working is not sustainable. Some are predicting the end of the university as we have known it. The Edgeless University argues that this can be a moment of rebirth for universities. Technology is changing universities as they become just one source among many for ideas, knowledge and innovation. But online tools and open access also offer the means for their survival. Their expertise and value is needed more than ever to validate and support learning and research.
