Online Transparency
"Transparency could reduce the amount of low quality contributions and make high quality work more accessible as paragons for others. In transparent online learning environments, poor teachers and course designers cannot easily hide their work behind closed doors."
In Conclusion I Can Say
1) Online transparence relieves from a social presence - that begins in personal information until network tasks -;
2) Transparence is dominant from a social network – puts visible the work of what we are doing -;
3) Transparence is particularly relevant within cooperative learning - students follow the work of their colleagues, share and learn one of which others -;
4) There are several tools - web 2.0 - that improves transparence - forums, blogs, assignments, twitter... -;
5) Students benefits in being transparent are: sharing information, the feedback from their colleagues, teachers and the online community, and, make them visible in a online community;
6) Institutional benefits are: became transparent the learning process.
7) Teacher / the learning process benefits: ‘Transparency could reduce the amount of low quality contributions and make high quality work more accessible as paragons for others. In transparent online learning environments, poor teachers and course designers cannot easily hide their work behind closed doors.’(I couldn’t say it better);
8) The three positive effects in the learning process are:
a) ‘Preventive quality improvement: We are prone to provide better quality when we know that others have access to the information and contributions we provide
b) Constructive quality improvement: We may learn from others when we have access to their data and contributions.
c) Reactive quality improvement: We may receive feedback from others when they have access to our data and contributions.’
9) There are some ethic riscks in transparecence, so we shoudn't have inappropriate content and whe should have copyright issues. It shouldn't have criticism from dissatisfied students and studentscould not expose too much information’
