The second week of the E-learning and Digital Cultures course still centres on utopian and dystopian accounts of technology. Where last week looked at past accounts of our existing relationship with technology, the films this week explore ideas of the future of digital culture. A slightly hollow utopia.

I’m horrendously behind with E-learning and Digital Cultures – I’ve not yet looked at the fourth week’s material, but I’m still hoping to get my ‘digital artifact’ in by tonight’s submission deadline. His suggestion is that it’s the lack of the ‘human’ in distance learning.

Before the tweetchat we were pointed towards a document summarising four learning scenarios of the future. These scenarios were the outcome of a challenge given to delegates at Business Educa in December, when they were asked to consider what workplace learning will look like 10 years from now.

As well as the videos covered in my last post , the resources for the first week of Edinburgh University’s E-learning and Digital Cultures MOOC included a paper by Daniel Chandler about technological determinism. Technological determinism appears prevalent in Bendito Machine III in a few ways.

In addition to the two ad films depicting visions of technology in the future, last week’s E-learning and Digital Cultures content (I’m a bit behind!) included three further short films taking different stances on future technologies, possible uses and misuses of them, and how they might shape society.

I was surprised to see a relatively old paper on the resource list for the second week of E-learning and Digital Cultures , but actually found it interesting reading. The latter two clearly link to the course as parallels of the utopian and dystopian accounts of technology and digital culture that we’ve been looking at.

Last week, I enrolled on Edinburgh University’s Coursera MOOC called E-learning and Digital Cultures. We’ve been given four short films to watch and think about, and some early examples of writing on e-learning. Things don’t end well, and this is clearly a dystopian view of our approach to technology.

James set out 10 ways to improve the learner experience in e-learning, which I’ll recap in another post, but what really tickled me was James’ description of ‘butterfly moments’ Everyone has a slightly different understanding of what innovation is.

As a community, we cite Twitter as our number one learning tool and we’re vocal in our appreciation of our personal learning networks (PLNs). So, what can we do to improve our use of Twitter at conferences and share really valuable learning and insight with fellow L&D folk?

Learning 2012, held in late October in Florida, was my first experience of a non-UK conference (in fact my first trip to the USA!), The interview format kept the pace up and ensured that each conversation was brought back to learning before wrapping up. and it was quite an experience. What worked.

At BP’s Future of Learning event in November, we were lucky enough to have the fabulous Crystal Washington as our guest speaker at dinner (follow her on Twitter @CrysWashington ). Incidentally, Justin Mass asked the same question of Richard Culatta at Learning 2012 and got the same response: ‘nope, normal.’

But, if I’m honest, I don’t think I ever gave how and why much thought until attending Learning 2012 last week. So what changed at Learning 2012? Learning 2012 took place in the USA, with a fairly small UK contingent, so it was a whole different group of people contributing to the backchannel.
