In this post, I am looking at some of the principles of MAPP. These contribute to the structure of the Learning Network / Networked understanding that you are
starting to engage with as you start back into study this term.
On this course we draw heavily from the theoretical concept of
Connectivism developed differently by Steven Downes and George Siemens. Have a
look at:
On UniHub there is a full table that puts together some principles of Downes’ Connectivism,
some principles of Dewey’s pragmatism (both foundational ideas for this course)
with the last column showing tools for study that the MAPP (and BAPP) course
uses. This is in order to show how the activity of the course resonates with
the principles that underpin it. In the
first column, we see the attributes Steven Downes suggests we need to have a
working network, in the next column you can see John Dewey’s attributes for
what makes an experience. The kind of experience that wakes you up to live like
art does. You can see how they map across from Downes. In the last column, you
can see the activity we do during MAPP this allows you to see the intension
behind the MAPP activity – the meaning behind doing the blogs or skype sessions
etc… you can see how they correspond to creating a working living network of
learning for yourself. Have a look on UniHub for the table.
It would be interesting to discuss some of the video content in our Skype Discussion Group on Sunday. Please comment on what you are thinking/feel of this post below*.
