Networking

I’m a networked learner. I teach in a network of others and introduce networks to my students. As I grapple with this PhD work, I know I have networks to rely on, turn to, even request feedback from. The one network that will certainly impact my research work will be the GO-GN group. It’s a tweet from Jenni Hayman that is the catalyst for this thinking. She’s modelling what it means to be responsible to your networks and being open about being ‘absent’ from your usual engagements.

Going into significant doctoral writing Twitter hiatus. If you don't see me around very much, I'm still interested in all the great work that's going on. Keep at it friends. Also, blanket excitement about a new school year and OER use for everybody!

But it’s the GO-GN recorded webinar from Caroline Kuhn that keeps me thinking [Tensions concerning personal open designs and institutional closed artefacts in a HE Institution]. If I wasn’t part of this network, my PhD work, even in these early stages, would not be as enriched as it is.

I’ve watched this recording several times, but now I realize I should have been using an annotation tool that I’ve use with my students, to keep the elements of this webinar in full view. I can also pull the transcript from this recording to further analyzing the content and ‘text’ from the webinar. Networking my ideas together is a critical way to build connections for my PhD writing.

Here’s the link to the Vialogues annotations of this video recording and the embedded Vialogues notes:

If you’d like to add your notes to this annotation, you are welcome to do so – just let me know in a comment or in a Tweet. I’m open to collaborations.

There are other GO_GN webinars that I’ll need to view to learn more – all found on the GO_GN site.
