Xplana publie aujourd’hui un audacieux essai de Rob Reynolds dans lequel il établi des liens entre American Idol (i.e. Star Académie, aux États-Unis), le mouvement OpenSource… et l’apprentissage.
It is this type of participatory interactivity in the commercial world that also seems to make sense in teaching. (…) What happens, on a macro or micro level, however, if we « open » the product up to the students and allow them to become part of the ownership process? The end result, if done honestly, would be like successful open source projects or like American Idol. (…) Handing over a product to the public (students) means that you lose a certain amount of manipulation power. The final result of a course, for example, could no longer be scripted. Unexpected and disruptive evolution might become commonplace and new expectations and understandings would need to be developed.
Voilà un texte bien provoquant… dont il faudrait bien que je tienne compte dans la prochaine mouture du texte sur la cyberpédagogie.
