E-learning and Digital Cultures MOOC - Week 3 Topic: Reasserting the human
Based on presentation given at 2011 Chicago E-learning Tech Showcase: www.slideshare.net/ChicagoeLearningShowcase/collaborative...
I used an image in that presentation that inspired this drawing. I think the image came from Microsoft Images but I can't find it anywhere.
Created using iPad app called Paper
#edcmooc The continued merging of human and machine will probably see external hard drives for the brain become a reality by about 2035...as seen in this bus advertisement
This artefact was created using a photo I took myself in Dublin, Ireland. I used Photoshop Elements to layer on the advertisement which of course is completely made up.
I created this green networked world in a box several years ago. But it fits my thoughts about what is missing from EDCMOOC - the marriage of computers and biology into something living, green and growing. Not a cyborg human but the beauty of a vine connecting humanity. To read more about it, see my blog at kelcym.wordpress.com/2013/02/13/future-edcmooc-memory-box...
Mind blowing, beautiful, poetic, challenging, deeply resonant. I need a few years of reading & thinking to properly unpack. These notes do not do the talk justice.
Note: I have submitted this to the #edcmooc tag cloud as an artefact from the week2 prompts. I should note that this drawing was done live at the event at #opened12 not this week. Here's my post on EDCMOOC gforsythe.ca/edcmooc/

This is my submission for week 3 of edcmooc. I wanted to illustrate memes as cultural grasshoppers, jumping from one digital medium to the other, disseminating ideas, processes and products. I tried to show this concept using a real grasshopper, resting on a poppy of our fields. Its first jump is on our pc, then it suddenly moves to my daughter's android, and from that to my digital camera...and probably elsewhere.
The utopias of our digital learning experiences #edcmooc
My reflection for e learning and digital culture learning experiences for Week 3 Image Activities
I created this image using photoshop. It represents the sea of online participants waiting at the entrance of the main University of Edinburgh building. The flags indicate the array of countries represented and the glow (or aura) adds a mystical sense to what's on offer...just a bit of fun really.
#edcmooc #digital artifact
This image touches on several themes- how the future (and technology) often seems daunting and we are miniscule...or it could touch upon technological determinism - who is driving? who is serving whom?
I initially created the image without anything in mind. Its meaning sought during the #edcmchat yesterday when @maddiekp (quoted here) created this metaphor. @maddiekp 's profile and artwork is at www.flickr.com/people/92318598@N04/

The depiction of fireworks was created with Fingerpaint Magic iOS app. The image was manipulated with Gimp
Looking into the past we classified learning based on the Yin and Yang state or in black and white.
But future shows that learning will be in the hands of the learner.
Submitted as part of the EDC MOOC Assignment. Used tagxedo.com to create the word clouds. And then used Photoshop to combine the images and add text and publish.
Word cloud created from the #EdcMooc participants' comments in the coursera forum as a response to this question.
#edcmooc Thoughts/visualizations while listening to Gardner Campbell's "Ecologies of Yearning" keynote from the Open Ed '12, October 16, 2012, in Vancouver BC.
The Mouth of Truth - no-one knows the truth about how humans and technology relate to each other - all we have are perspectives, ideas and so what is dystopian for one may be utopian for another - hence this obviously 'fake' mouth of truth artificially spewing forth words.

The image depicts the richness of metaphors expressed during week 2 of the #edcmooc in forums and Social Media.

The future of Robot Education? Will robots wonder what it means to be human? Will humans still exist?
My original idea had been to draw a robot educator lecturing to robot students who were seated at his feet but, my limited artistic skills prevented me from creating more than two standing robots.
I did not see Ron Leunissen's YouTube video on robots discussing post-humanism youtu.be/HqlUTuey4aA before I designed my image but, I appreciate Ron providing the link to his video in the comments section of my image. Thanks, Ron!
The image was created with the sign generator at www.redkid.net/generator/underground/sign.php Many thanks to chrisswift www.flickr.com/photos/25898511@N02/8333372713
My submission for the EDCMOOC artifact competition. Inspired by Monk's (2004) objection to computers as barriers to learning via hands-on exploration of the world. Interesting how technology has moved on...;)

Like '40,000', '300,000' has been cited in the news about Week 2 of the EDCMOOC course.
Building from my first Flickr #edcmooc Week 3 image entitled '40,000 in #edcmooc week 1', this follow-up image expands on the structural motif of the first:
1. 300,000 is an actual approximation of Iceland's population; EDCMOOC grew from its 40,000 of its week 1 to 8 times the size!? What are this implications of this, and progressively?
2. Two news items (hacker leaks and power outage) resulted from googling '300,000'.
3. The news item about Edinburgh's MOOC has featured several times in the EDCMOOC social media spheres.
4. The 40,000 1/8th box bottom-left is a simplified version of my first Flickr #edcmooc Week 3 image; visually juxtaposing and comparing Week 2's population with Week 1's.
5. '#OMG' symbolizes the commonly shared feeling of being overwhelmed that many have expressed of how they're coping with the course; on EDCMOOC's Discussion Fora, Facebook, Twitter, and Google+. Below it: four social media logo-icons of these suggested interfaces for EDCMOOC participants. The image was image-captured from the Coursera website and colour-inverted.
Like for the '40,000' image, the digital tools used to create this image:
1. Open Office create table and pdf
2. online pdf-to-jpg converter
3. Photoscape to crop.
There's just a little resemblance to a large bar of chocolate : )
This pic is made for the MOOC course "E-learning and Digital Cultures"
Some more homeworks for the course are in my blogspot: agoldzahn.blogspot.ru/search/label/EDCMOOC
Pencil and charcoal. Although we SEE and make technology part of our lives we cannot forget our HUMAN
part.
The image depicts my deep critical thinking and the challenging Research questions generated during the first two weeks of the #edcmooc

Many thanks to Mike for his creative work!
I took this photo last year while on holiday in Berlin. It shows the Marienkirche (St Mary's Church) in the foreground dwarfed by the 368m-high Fernsehturm (Television Tower) in the background.
This image resonated with me at the time because it unequivocally declared the new religion. A beautiful 13th Century building representing the power of the church through the centuries, lorded over by a modern (some may say gaudy) structure representing the overwhelming dominance of mass communication in the present day.
It wasn't until I watched Bendito Machine III as a participant in The University of Edinburgh’s E-learning and Digital Cultures course did I realise the parallels between the Judeo-Christian story of Moses climbing Mount Sinai to receive the Ten Commandments from God and how modern consumers submit to technology today.
Whether it assumes the form of a flat-screen TV or the latest mobile device, we are only too willing to worship our one true god. That is, of course, until the next version is released...
