Permission and digital learning: It’s déjà vu all over again


Universities are exceptional at innovating and changing…if your slide deck includes an image of desks and argues that nothing has changed, you’re being dishonest and disingenuous.

(Siemens, 2015)

Our studies (Dekkers et al., 1993; Kemp, 1993) have demonstrated that a lack of instructional and typographical features does hinder study progress and can have the following deleterious effects(Dekkers & Kemp, 1995, p. 320)

Reusability paradox

The more context a learning object has, the better it is for learning

The less context,the better for reuse

…too often the design…based on…own beliefs about what constitutes ‘good’…layout, with little consideration given to aspects of legibility, readability and, importantly, how the materials will be used.(Dekkers & Kemp, 1995, p. 313)

Bricolage

(Kay, 1984, p. 59)

The protean nature of the computer is such that it can actlike a machine or like a language to be shaped and exploited…It is the first metamedium, and as such it has degrees of freedom for representation and expression never beforeencountered and as yet barely investigated.

It has been bought to my attention that… - David Jones - has altered the common look and feel of StudyDesk …

Regardless of David's motives, clearly this is a breach of policy…

…to hack the action of…The hack…he has also publicised this hack publicly on his blog.
