What I Learned at #MobilityShifts last week in NYC.

Open Thinkering Education, blogging, Cathy Davidson, change, Conference, Mobility Shifts, Scott McLeod

I spent last week in New York at the Mobility Shifts conference. No, I wasn’t there on JISC business; I took some annual leave and got there thanks to the generosity of Scott McLeod, Director of CASTLE. In return, Scott gets my undying gratitude and the following blog posts:

  • Introducing Doug Belshaw, blogging at #MobilityShifts
  • Day 1 – Wikipedia and Formal Education
  • Day 2 – Privacy, Surveillance and the Academic Commons
  • Day 3 – Hacking, Playfulness and Free Universities
  • Day 4 – Open Access, Mobile Devices and Connected Learning
  • Day 5 – Emerging Learning Environments, Peer to Peer grading and an Interview with Cathy Davidson

  • MobilityShifts – 5 key trends for the future of education

I’d usually put this on my conference blog but, well, I spent longer than usual crafting these posts and they constitute a body of work that (albeit predicated on the thoughts of others) I think you should go and read.

Only got time to read one of these posts? Try Day 5 featuring my interview with Cathy Davidson! 🙂
