Co-Creation of Content to promote Learning, Activism and Advocacy

Professional Learning Series:
Education for a Digital World - Edition 2.0 Webinar Series,
April 14th, 2010, Vancouver, BC

This session introduced educators to the use of a variety of ICTs to promote activism and advocacy, and in the process – learning, using a co-creation of usable content approach within the online learning environment.

A key question that was addressed: "How can communicative and creative technologies be used to stimulate meaningful activist engagement with ecological, sustainability, environmental and quality of life dialogue and praxis in education and society at large?

The book cover was also designed by June Kaminski - click on Cover thumbnail image below for larger view. The book chapter was co-written with Dr Amandah Hoogbruin.

This webinar series was based on the soon - to - be - released book Education for a Digital World - Edition 2.0, edited by Sandy Hirtz and Kevin Kelly. The series was organized in partnership with Steve Hargadon, manager of Learn Central. Book chapter authors were invited to give an overview of their chapter, followed by Q&A from the live audience. These sessions were then recorded.

The collaboratively authored book, and its predecessor Education for a Digital World, represent a shift in how educators are sharing their research, experiences and best practices in online teaching and learning. Facilitated completely through virtual interactions, this new model of authoring went beyond writing and editing to become an international effort in community building and professional growth.
