Teaching and Learning (T&L) Group

Welcome to the Teaching and Learning (T&L) Group!


The T&L Group Mission

To drive innovation on teaching and learning within the Sakai community. To share best practices, understandings and experiences among faculty members themselves and between faculty and other Sakai community members. To communicate the goals and issues of the teaching and learning community to contributors in Sakai including developers, UX (user experience), system administrators, documentation, support, and QA (quality assurance).


Hello and welcome! This confluence site is the gathering place for folks interested in teaching, learning and assessment within the Sakai community. We are actively looking for more folks to contribute so please wonder around and jump in wherever you wish.  You may also want to join the "Teaching and Learning" (i.e. "pedagogy") discussion group. If you have questions e-mail Joshua Baron

INVITATION TO LEARNING CAPABILITIES VIRTUAL WORKING SESSION

The Teaching and Learning Group has been engaged in an "instructional visioning" exercise focused on Sakai 3 for the past several months.  Much of our recent work has involved the generation of a Learning Capabilities document.  We have reach a point in this process where we feel we need have a sustained and focused effort in order to organize and refine this document and "take it to the next level".  To do this, we are in the process of planning for a two-day "virtual working session" in which we hope community members from around the world will come together to help work on this effort.  If you are interest, please visit our Virtual Working Session planning page and sign up.

    I have added some pedagogical questions that we need to focus on, I think.
    I know that some other Europeans are working on this subject too. I will try to point them to this page and ask them to share their thoughts over here.
    For sure, we will be discussing this issue in Lubeck on the European Sakai Day (www.oncampus.de/sakai).

    I think the questions that were pointed out by Wytze are really what the educational requirements are about. Other issues are too often interpreted in terms of functionality / components in Sakai. One of the conclusions at the Lubeck conference is that we now should really focus more on the learners. They are the real stakeholders here.

    I agree with Stanley here and liked the question that Wytze added...

    I think these thoughts related to my feeling that the pedagogy group may want to try and focus more "purely" on instructional issues related to teaching and learning with Sakai and stear away from technical issues. This comment is by no means an attempt to minimize the importance of the technical "challenges", particular those related to UX issues, that we as the Sakai community face today. These, in my opinion, are critical issues and ones that need to take top priority right now within the community.

    My feeling is just that we already have a lot of folks focused on and discussing these technical and UI issues (I'm involved in these on a limited basis myself). Since these discussion are already being moved forward, I have begun to think that this is a good time for some of us to focus more exclusively on the uses of Sakai, as it is today, in ways that can truly innovate the teaching and learning process.

    Although I recognize (and struggle myself in my role at my institution to deal with them) that the tools within Sakai are not perfect (yet) and can be limiting at times for instructors, I also believe that they can be used in very powerful ways, as they are today, to radically improve how we teach and students learn.

    I've started to try and stimulate a discussion on this and plan for some related sessions in Newport along with many others on the Pedagogy DG so if there are others with an interest in this topic please join that list on Collab and jump into the discussion!
