The Open Educator as DJ - Towards an Actual Practice of Educational Remix

The metaphor of "Teacher as DJ" isn't new - as Wiley noted (http://opencontent.org/blog/archives/227), ever since the phrase "Rip, Mix, Burn" entered the popular consciousness via Apple's advertising campaign, it began to be applied to how educators might approach digital educational resources.

But with the ever increasing number of quality free open educational resources, the advent of 'mashups' as a widespread model of innovation both artistic and commerical, as well as the new breeds of online media tools and alternative interfaces, the "Educator as DJ" is fast moving from high level metaphor to practical art. This presentation will dig deeper into this metaphor and demonstrate live what the actual practice of the open educator as DJ might look like. So get ready to dance!

Open Educator as DJ demo

About

This site is part of a demo for a talk on the “Open Educator as DJ.” It is meant to demonstrate one simple example of a workflow for sampling, sequencing and ‘performing’ with Open Educational Resources.

It is a Wordpress 2.7.1 site running the feedwordpress plugin to syndicate content from various clipping or ’sampling’ services like clipmarks and tumblr, and then running the media_rss plugin so that it’s feeds are in that format.

This then allows you to instantly generate a cooliris presentation from any of the site’s RSS feeds with one click.
