    Social Annotation Enabling Collaboration for Open Learning Jeremiah H. Kalir University of Colorado Denver Email: [email protected] ORCID: 0000-0003-2302-7989 Twitter: @remikalir 1 Social annotation enabling collaboration for open learning Jeremiah H. Kalir• Learning Design & Technology, University of Colorado Denver, Denver, Colorado, 80204, United States Abstract Collaboration is a conceptually ambiguous aspect of open education. Given inconsistent discussion about collaboration in the open education literature, this article suggests collaboration be defined and studied as a distinct open educational practice. A theoretical stance from the discipline of computer-supported collaborative learning helps conceptualize collaboration as processes of intersubjective meaning-making. Social annotation is then presented as a genre of learning technology that can productively enable group collaboration and shared meaning- making. After introducing an open learning project utilizing social annotation for group dialogue, analysis of interview and annotation data details how social annotation enabled three group-level epistemic expressions delineating collaboration as intersubjective meaning-making and as an open educational practice. A summative discussion considers how the social life of documents encourages collaboration, why attention to epistemic expression is a productive means of articulating open learning, and how to extend the study of collaboration as an open educational practice.

More than any other twenty-first century collab- orative endeavor, Wikipedia has attracted the attention of scholars in the so- cial sciences and law both as an example of what collective intelligence makes possible and as an empirical puzzle. Conventional thinking suggests that ef- fective and successful organizations succeed through hierarchical control and management, but Wikipedia seems to organize collectively without either. Legal and economic common sense dictates that compensation and contracts are necessary for individuals to share the valuable products of their work, yet Wikipedia elicits millions of contributions without payment or owner- ship.

  • Plos Progress Update 2014/2015 from the Chairman and Ceo
    PLOS PROGRESS UPDATE 2014/2015 FROM THE CHAIRMAN AND CEO PLOS is dedicated to the transformation of research communication through collaboration, transparency, speed and access. Since its founding, PLOS has demonstrated the viability of high quality, Open Access publishing; launched the ground- breaking PLOS ONE, a home for all sound science selected for its rigor, not its “significance”; developed the first Article- Level Metrics (ALMs) to demonstrate the value of research beyond the perceived status of a journal title; and extended the impact of research after its publication with the PLOS data policy, ALMs and liberal Open Access licensing. But challenges remain. Scientific communication is far from its ideal state. There is still inconsistent access, and research is oered at a snapshot in time, instead of as an evolving contribution whose reliability and significance are continually evaluated through its lifetime. The current state demands that PLOS continue to establish new standards and expectations for scholarly communication. These include a faster and more ecient publication experience, more transparent peer review, assessment though the lifetime of a work, better recognition of the range of contributions made by collaborators and placing researchers and their communities back at the center of scientific communication. To these ends, PLOS is developing ApertaTM, a system that will facilitate and advance the submission and peer review process for authors, editors and reviewers. PLOS is also creating richer and more inclusive forums, such as PLOS Paleontology and PLOS Ecology Communities and the PLOS Science Wednesday redditscience Ask Me Anything. Progress is being made on early posting of manuscripts at PLOS.

  • An Introductory Historical Contextualization of Online Creation Communities for the Building of Digital Commons: the Emergence of a Free Culture Movement
    An Introductory Historical Contextualization of Online Creation Communities for the Building of Digital Commons: The Emergence of a Free Culture Movement Mayo Fuster Morell Autonomous University of Barcelona [email protected] Abstract. Online Creation Communities (OCCs) are a set of individ- uals that communicate, interact and collaborate; in several forms and degrees of participation which are eco-systemically integrated; mainly via a platform of participation on the Internet, on which they depend; and aiming at knowledge-making and sharing. The paper will first pro- vide an historical contextualization OCCs. Then, it will show how the development of OCCs is fuelled by and contributes to, the rise of a free culture movement defending and advocating the creation of digital com- mons, and provide an empirically grounded definition of free culture movement. The empirical analyses is based content analysis of 80 in- terviews to free culture practitioners, promoters and activists with an international background or rooted in Europe, USA and Latino-America and the content analysis of two seminar discussions. The data collection was developed from 2008 to 2010. 1 Introduction Online Creation Communities (OCCs) are a set of individuals that communicate, interact and collaborate; in several forms and degrees of participation which are eco-systemically integrated; mainly via a platform of participation on the In- ternet, on which they depend; and aiming at knowledge-making and sharing (Fuster Morell, 2010). OCCs based on certain governance conditions result on the building of a digital commons. Digital commons are defined as an informa- tion and knowledge resources that are collectively created and owned or shared between or among a community and that tend to be non-exclusivedible, that is, be (generally freely) available to third parties.

DATE June 19, 2019 PAGE 3 of 15 Management Summary Open source is becoming a factor of importance for the IT industry in general, and also for TenneT. The open source model refers to the software development model that encourages open collaboration to create open source software. This is software for which the original source code (design, code, ingredients) is made freely available and may be redistributed and modified. After we have chosen to go for the open source direction in 2017 for the TenneT Data Platform (TDP), we now want to further accelerate the adoption of open source for the following reasons: • TenneT wants to drive the energy transition. Open Source is the dominant software model for open innovation efforts in the new digital economy. • Open Source software is used within mission-critical IT workloads by over 90% of IT. TenneT increasingly uses Open Source and this will not change in the future.

  • Communication Networks and Peer Production 1
    Running head: COMMUNICATION NETWORKS AND PEER PRODUCTION 1 Communication networks do not explain the growth or survival of early-stage peer production projects Jeremy Foote Northwestern University Aaron Shaw Northwestern University Benjamin Mako Hill University of Washington COMMUNICATION NETWORKS AND PEER PRODUCTION 2 Abstract Communication enables coordination and social integration in collaborative groups. In the contexts of work groups and teams, prior research finds that more dense and integrated communication structures support better performance. We explore the relationship between communication structure and group performance in a population of early-stage peer production wiki communities engaged in the collaborative production of shared information resources. We theorize that there is an especially strong need for coordination and social integration in small, newly formed online communities, and that communities with relatively more integrative communication networks will be more successful. We test this theory by measuring communication network structure and group outcomes in a population of 1,002 nascent wikis. Contrary to prior literature and our expectations, we find a very weak relationship between communication structure and collaborative performance. We suggest a number of explanations, including the role of shared artifacts in coordinating work and integrating newcomers. Keywords: peer production, group formation, social network analysis, online communities COMMUNICATION NETWORKS AND PEER PRODUCTION 3 Communication networks do not explain the growth or survival of early-stage peer production projects Introduction Work teams perform best when members of the team are socially integrated and when the team is efficient in coordinating its activities. A large body of research has shown that socially integrated and effective coordination are enabled by and reflected in patterns of communication.

    Marc Prensky Open Collaboration © 2002 Marc Prensky _____________________________________________________________________________ Open Collaboration Finding and Polishing “Hidden Gems” By Marc Prensky To be published in On The Horizon, Volume 10 No 3. [3179 words] "Always and everywhere, free resources have been crucial to innovation and creativity.” –Lawrence Lessig in The Future of Ideas: The Fate of the Commons in a Connected World 1 I would bet that a great many faculty, along with their ideas for books and research, have “hidden gems” of learning games, or other innovative ways to teach content online, either already on their computers or still in their minds. If we help to develop and polish these gems, make them grow, show them off and encourage them to be used, our students, schools, and faculties will all benefit enormously. But please, let’s not start salivating about generating huge license fees to increase our endowments by selling them – even on e-Bay! If we really care about advancing instruction, we should be doing our best to insert them as quickly as possible into the public domain so that we can develop them collaboratively. I’ll get to why in a minute. In my last column I highlighted problems that arise when instructors attempt to reach “Digital Natives” not by making their basic subject matter engaging, but by pandering to their students through titillating subject matter or course titles. There are much better ways to reach Digital Natives, and one of the best of these is to create subject matter- based learning games – instruction in the students’ “native language.” Already many of these games – relating to all parts of the college curriculum – are springing up in a variety of places, yet without most of us being aware of their existence, and without much power to bloom and grow.
