25 Years of Ed Tech
63 episodes - English - Latest episode: over 2 years ago - ★★★★★ - 1 rating25 Years of Ed Tech is a serialized audio version of the book 25 Years of Ed Tech, written by Martin Weller of the Open University and published by AU Press. The audio version of the book is a collaborative project with a global community of volunteers contributing their voices to narrate a chapter of the book. Bonus episodes are a series of conversations called "Between the Chapters" to chat about these topics and more!
"In this lively and approachable volume based on his popular blog series, Martin Weller demonstrates a rich history of innovation and effective implementation of ed tech across higher education. From Bulletin Board Systems to blockchain, Weller follows the trajectory of education by focusing each chapter on a technology, theory, or concept that has influenced each year since 1994. Calling for both caution and enthusiasm, Weller advocates for a critical and research-based approach to new technologies, particularly in light of disinformation, the impact of social media on politics, and data surveillance trends. A concise and necessary retrospective, this book will be valuable to educators, ed tech practitioners, and higher education administrators, as well as students."

Conclusions: Reclaiming Ed Tech
May 03, 2021 08:00 - 21 minutes - 31.3 MBHaving surveyed one particular take on 25 years of ed tech, it is now possible to synthesize some generalities. In this chapter, several themes arising from the analysis of this history will be proposed, and then some suggestions regarding what this means for the next 25 years of ed tech will be proffered. Read by Martin Weller.
Between the Chapters #25: searching for the commons in the wasteland with @savasavasava & @audreywatters
April 29, 2021 08:00 - 49 minutes - 45.5 MBFor Between the Chapters episode, Laura is in conversation with Audrey Watters and sava saheli singh to navigate these troubling waters of educational technology. This episode swirls around the ed tech’s dystopian storm from Chapter 25; however, we all agreed there are many dark aspects from previous chapters and years prior to hit the fever pitch of 2018. The issues and challenges of a number teaching and learning technologies have been brought up in previous bonus book club chats...
Chapter 25: 2018 Ed Tech's Dystopian Turn
April 26, 2021 08:00 - 19 minutes - 28.4 MBFor this final year of the 25, a trend rather than a technology is the focus. There is in much of ed tech a growing divide, particularly in evidence at conferences. One camp is largely uncritical, seeing ed tech as a sort of Silicon Valley-inspired, technological utopia that will cure all of education’s problems. This is often a reflection-free zone, because the whole basis of this industry is built on selling perfect solutions, often to problems that have been artificially concocte...
Between the Chapters #24: beyond the blockchain buzz with @dkernohan
April 22, 2021 08:00 - 40 minutes - 36.8 MBFor this Between the Chapter episode, Laura chats with David Kernohan about the blockchain and other odd things happening around the year 2017: Chapter 24. This episode will not explain what the blockchain is, but take a broad perspective about the times, questioning trust, and changing of systems. Spoiler Alert: We don’t want to crush your hopes and dreams about blockchains, but there's no real lasting impact for it in higher ed. Chapter 2: Blockchain. Blockwhat?! (Season 1 of Zi...
BONUS: #OERxDomains21 Panel: OER & the @YearsEd Project
April 22, 2021 02:31 - 24 minutes - 22.3 MBIn contemporary journalism, if a news story is described as “having legs” it means it has the ability to evolve and remain relevant over a long period of time to a wide community. This concept of “having legs” can also be applied to the creation of OER as there is an embedded assumption by the creator of a work that, by assigning an open license to it, their work will become flexible enough to develop “legs” and continue to be successful on its own through adaptation and adoption by...
Chapter 24: 2017 Blockchain
April 19, 2021 08:00 - 19 minutes - 28.1 MBOf all the technologies covered in this book, blockchain is perhaps the most perplexing, both in how it works and in terms of its purpose in education. I include it because it received a lot of attention, but also because it is indicative of the type of hype that surrounds a new technology that does not seem to address a clear need. Read by Caroline Kuhn.
Between the Chapters #23 looking in the black box of A.I. with @hypervisible
April 15, 2021 08:00 - 43 minutes - 39.6 MBIn this episode of Between the Chapters, Laura chats with Chris Gilliard about artificial intelligence (A.I.) in educational technology from Chapter 23 of Martin’s book. If you don’t follow the prolific Twitter account of @hybervisible -- you should. He’s been railing against the broad, sweeping claims ed tech vendors make about A.I. and outcomes of these software/systems in higher ed for a while. How does ed tech codify teaching, learning, and administration needs at our universiti...
Chapter 23: 2016 The Return of Artificial Intelliegence
April 12, 2021 08:00 - 12 minutes - 19.3 MBArtificial intelligence (AI) is an interesting case study in ed tech, combining several themes that have already arisen in this book: promise versus reality, the cyclical nature of ed tech, and the increasingly thorny ethical issues raised by its application. Read by Maha Bali. Read the chapter and see a list of all the book references on the Athabasca Press site.
Between the Chapters #22 open credentials & digital badges with @catspyjamasnz
April 08, 2021 08:00 - 38 minutes - 35.2 MBFor this Between the Chapters episode, Laura chats with Joyce Seitzinger about all things badged connected to Chapter 22: Digital Badges. In reflecting back to 2015, we have much to say about microcredential, open badges, and what it means to get digital street cred based on a certificate, credential, course, or training. We share how we have been working to upskill with professional credentials as the world of work is changing, and how higher ed might consider what it means to embe...
Chapter 22: 2015 Digital Badges
April 05, 2021 08:00 - 11 minutes - 16.1 MBDigital badges are a good example of how ed tech evolves when several other technologies, such as those that we have seen in this book, make the environment favourable for their implementation. Badges allow for a more fine-grained representation of skills and experience gained in formal education than a degree classification. In this, they are an extension of the desire of e-portfolios to surface skills and competencies that are useful to employers. Read by Deb Baff. Read the chapt...
Between the Chapters #21 analyzing the metrics & data in learning with @ammienoot & @dgasevic
April 01, 2021 08:00 - 47 minutes - 43.6 MBFor Between the Chapters episode for Chapter #21 (2014), Laura is joined by Anne-Marie Scott and Dragan Gašević to talk about learning analytics (LA). This conversation outlines a definition of LA, in terms of higher education -- for practice, within products in ed tech, for online learning/teaching, and evidence-based research. There are so many interpretations as to what LA is, and we hope this episode unpacks the myths and misconceptions as to what metrics and data within learnin...
Chapter 21: 2014 Learning Analytics
March 29, 2021 08:00 - 15 minutes - 23.4 MBData, data, data. It’s the new oil and the new driver of capitalism, war, and politics, so inevitably its role in education would come to the fore. Interest in analytics is driven by the increased amount of time that students spend in online learning environments, particularly LMS and MOOC, but also the increased data available across a university, including library usage, attendance, demographic data, and so on. This chapter is read by Brenna Clarke Gray. Read the chapter online o...
Between the Chapters #20 opening up a textbook & more access to learning with @acoolidge
March 25, 2021 08:00 - 41 minutes - 38 MBIn this episode of @YearsEd Between the Chapters, Laura chats with Amanda Coolidge about open educational resources (OERs) and the open textbooks. Listen to this book club chat about Chapter 20 (2013): Open Textbooks as we talk about localization of OERs for all teaching and learning classrooms around the world. It’s more than just digital or a platform, there’s such a great ability to see how grassroots initiatives offer ways to provide open textbooks & OERs multiple formats that a...
Chapter 20: 2013 Open Textbooks
March 22, 2021 08:00 - 12 minutes - 23.7 MBIf MOOC were the glamorous side of open education, claiming all the headlines and sweeping predictions, then open textbooks were the practical, even dowdy, application. An extension of the OER movement, and particularly pertinent in the United States and Canada, open textbooks provided openly licensed versions of bespoke written textbooks, with the digital version being free and printed versions at low cost. Read by Rajiv Jhangiani. Read the book chapter online & see the complete b...
Between the Chapters #19 more about MOOCs with @sukainaw, @davecormier & @RMoeJo
March 18, 2021 08:00 - 56 minutes - 51.9 MBFor this episode of @YearsEd Between the Chapters, Laura chats about almost everything related to the acronym MOOC: Massive Open Online Course with Sukaina Walji, Dave Cormier, and Rolin Moe. We dive into The Year of the MOOC (2012) and Chapter 19 of Martin’s book to share how we stumbled upon MOOCs in our work, research, teaching, and learning life. What’s A MOOC? Dave Cormier’s Viral Sensation to Explain: What is a MOOC? Questions & Answers About MOOCs What Was the First MOOC...
Chapter 19: 2012 MOOC
March 15, 2021 17:29 - 19 minutes - 28.8 MBInevitably, the selection for 2012 is massive open online courses, or MOOC, with The New York Times declaring it “the year of the MOOC” (Pappano, 2012). We have looked at the roots of MOOC in the explorations of connectivist approaches, but more broadly the MOOC phenomenon can be viewed as the combination of several preceding technologies: some of the open approach of OER, the application of video, and the revolutionary hype of Web 2.0. The MOOC were an idea waiting to happen. This ...
Between the Chapters #18 @vconnecting with @rjhogue, @bali_maha, @autumm, @friedelitis & @hj_dewaard
March 11, 2021 09:00 - 51 minutes - 47.2 MBIn this Between the Chapters episode, Laura talks to the co-directors of Virtually Connecting -- Maha Bali, Autumm Caines, Helen DeWaard, Christian Friedrich, and Rebecca Hogue about all the things related to networked learning. This group unpacks the differences between personal learning environments (PLEs) and personal learning networks (PLNs), to reflect on how these spaces, places, and more importantly the people in these communities mean to them. We dig into what is in and beyo...
Chapter 18: 2010 Personal Learning Environments
March 08, 2021 09:00 - 12 minutes - 22.7 MBPersonal Learning Environments (PLE) were an outcome of the proliferation of services that suddenly became available following the Web 2.0 boom, combined with the thinking around distributed learning that we looked at in the previous chapter. Learners and educators began to gather a set of tools to realize a number of functions.
Chapter 18: 2011 Personal Learning Environments
March 08, 2021 09:00 - 12 minutes - 22.7 MBPersonal Learning Environments (PLE) were an outcome of the proliferation of services that suddenly became available following the Web 2.0 boom, combined with the thinking around distributed learning that we looked at in the previous chapter. Learners and educators began to gather a set of tools to realize a number of functions. The collection of these learning-support tools, both formally and informally, began to be referred to as a Personal Learning Environments or PLE. Educause (...
Between the Chapters #17 connecting the dots to connectivism with @tanbob
March 04, 2021 09:00 - 33 minutes - 30.5 MBFor this Between the Chapters, Laura connects the dots to all things connectivism with Tanis Morgan. In reflecting on how Connectivism (Chapter 17) showed up in 2010, they reflect on the disconnects and missed opportunities, plus what it means to deal with a “pedagogy of abundance” today. This mega theory/framework/ideology/whatever you want to call it impacted teaching, learning, and research in higher ed -- we try to unpack what this means then and share what was missing from the ...
Chapter 17: 2010 Connectivism
March 01, 2021 09:00 - 15 minutes - 27.1 MBAs we saw earlier, the initial enthusiasm for e-learning led to several pedagogies being resurrected or adopted to meet the new potential of the digital, networked context. Constructivism, problem-based learning, and resource-based learning all saw renewed interest as educators sought to harness the possibility of abundant content and networked learners. By the late 2000s though, with the advent of greater connectivity, user-generated content, and social media, a number of educator...
Between the Chapters #16 being in community on Twitter & social media with @suebecks & @chrissinerantzi
February 25, 2021 09:00 - 51 minutes - 47 MBFor this Between the Chapters, Laura welcomes Sue Beckingham and Chrissi Nerantzi to talk about all things related to Twitter and Social Media from Chapter 16. Reflecting back to our use of the mediums to be social and talk with educators, learners, researchers, and more -- we see how these public, open spaces have changed and challenged us over the last 10+ years. Twitter has brought about community and connection through hashtags; however, it is not the same as it once was -- or i...
Chapter 16: 2009 Twitter and Social Media
February 22, 2021 09:00 - 18 minutes - 27 MBIf the Learning Management System (LMS) represents the dominant educational technology, then Twitter is the behemoth of third-party tech that has been adopted in education. There’s too much that can be said about Twitter to do the subject justice in a short chapter, and most people will have their own views on its role in education, but it would be remiss to leave it out of any historical account. Read by Simon Horrocks. This chapter contains an illustration of a typical review pro...
Between the Chapters #15 curating e-portfolios with @orna_farrell & @drdavidwicks
February 18, 2021 09:00 - 55 minutes - 51.1 MBIn this episode of Between the Chapters of @YearsEd, Laura dives deep into the land of e-portfolios with Orna Farrell and David Wicks. We chat about sharing standards/competencies, reflecting on learning, and thinking about how to share practical inquiries in portfolio format for the topics of 2008 & Chapter 15: E-Portfolios. We define what e-portfolios are and aren’t, discuss the affordances of sharing publicly, being open about our failures, building personal learning networks wit...
Chapter 15: 2008 E-Portfolios
February 15, 2021 09:00 - 12 minutes - 20.5 MBE-portfolios provide a digital means of gathering together a range of outputs, assessments, and resources for a student. The argument for e-portfolios is a compelling one — they provide a place to store all the evidence a learner gathers to exhibit learning, both formal and informal, in order to support lifelong learning and career development. It is an idea that has significant impact for education — instead of recognizing education at the level of qualification, such as a degree i...
Between the Chapters #14 getting a Second Life & Virtual World living with @janesaid6 & @grantpotter
February 11, 2021 09:00 - 51 minutes - 47.7 MBIn this episode of Between the Chapters of @YearsEd, Laura talks to Sarah Frick and Grant Potter about Second Life, Virtual Words, role-playing and more! In reflecting back to 2007 in Chapter 14, we talk about how these virtual spaces impacted our working, teaching, learning, and personal lives. This chapter pokes at ways we can play, create, and experiment to share teaching and learning practices in these virtual worlds, games, and more! We can learn so much from digital online env...
Chapter 14: 2007 Second Life
February 08, 2021 09:00 - 9 minutes - 14.2 MBWhile Virtual Worlds had been around for a number of years, 2007 marked a peak in interest by educators to the environments and, specifically, Second Life. While much of the experimentation in education within Second Life often failed to do more than recreate existing structures and pedagogies that occurred in the "real world", Second Life has paved the way for larger social acceptance and use of augmented reality platforms and may still see a number of applications for education em...
Between the Chapters #13 connecting to Web 2.0 past with @alexpickett & @BryanAlexander
February 04, 2021 09:00 - 38 minutes - 35.4 MBFor this Between the Chapters episode, Laura welcomes Bryan Alexander and Alexandra Pickett to discuss Chapter 13 (2006) web 2.0 and all the user-generated experiences this technology brought for teaching, learning, and more! We talk about the experimentation days of Web 2.0, the connections we made to peers, and the challenges we’re seeing over a decade later as things got social and scaled. Web 2.0 Definition All the cool web2.0 tools Alex tested from 2008-2013! & the HOW/WHY f...
Chapter 13: 2006 Web 2.0
February 01, 2021 09:00 - 14 minutes - 23 MBIn 2006, the hype about Web 2.0 reaches a fever pitch. Everything was suddenly "2.0" to indicate a new and improved version. Ed Tech and higher education were not immune, with 2.0 things becoming so ubiquitous that the term soon became irrelevant and a joke. So, for something that has become something of a joke, what lessons can educators take away from the time of Web 2.0? And how did the culture of Web 2.0 influence and change both technology and our institutions? This chapter is ...
BONUS: Meta Pod with @laurapasquini, @edtechfactotum, & @mweller
January 29, 2021 09:00 - 28 minutes - 25.9 MBIn this bonus episode of “Between the Chapters” Martin, Clint, and Laura take a pause to get meta -- it’s a podcast about the podcast.

Between the Chapters #12 talking videos with @readywriting
January 28, 2021 09:00 - 49 minutes - 45 MBOn this episode of Between the Chapters, Laura talks with Lee Skallerup Bessette about how the video killed the teaching pedagogical star. Chapter 12: Videos (2005) brings up all the thoughts on how we weave media into teaching and learning. We talk about how we moved from film strips, TV, and videos … to the world of production and presentation we see now on Zoom. Listen to how we think about being purposeful with all the media (not just video) and how multimodal learning can be in...
Chapter 12: 2005 Video
January 25, 2021 09:00 - 12 minutes - 19.9 MBWhile video has a long history of use in education, it was the advent of YouTube in 2005 combined with an increasingly Do-It-Yourself participatory culture attitude and the decrease in costs in video production equipment that ushered in a new era of video use in education and enabled new pedagogical models of teaching & learning, such as the flipped classroom. Read by Chad Flinn.
Between the Chapters #11 sharing about OER & our open practices with @judyphalet, @catherinecronin, @vrodes, & @marendeepwell
January 21, 2021 09:00 - 1 hour - 68.2 MBFor this Between the Chapters episode, I have a 2-part conversation about open educational resources (OER) with Part I Judith Pete and Catherine Cronin, and then Part II with Virginia Rodés and Maren Deepwell. This extended episode dives into topics from Chapter 11 and beyond as we talk about practices, tensions, and context for OER around the world. We move beyond content and licensing to talk about what OER means now with the pivot to online and how it transforms the work we do fo...
Chapter 11: 2004 OER
January 18, 2021 09:00 - 16 minutes - 24.7 MBM.I.T. is credited with the first large scale Open Education Resource (OER) project with the launch of their Open Courseware initiative in 2002. Since then, OER's have become something of a success story in education with OER projects and educators still pushing the concept forward and into mainstream adoption. This chapter explores some of the early days of OER and how those early projects & pioneers influenced a global movement that continues to build and evolve today.
Between the Chapters #10 blogging with @bonstewart & @edtechfactotum
January 14, 2021 09:00 - 49 minutes - 45.2 MBIn this episode of Between the Chapters Laura chats with Bonnie Stewart and Clint Lalonde about their blogging journey. We reflect on the posts we’ve written, the community of bloggers, and what it means related to Chapter 10: Blogs. Initially the affinity of “bloggers” connected a number of educators and academics to meet up at conferences and make connections with others in higher ed. Additionally, we saw how these personal blogs morphed towards commodification and commercial -- w...
Chapter 10 2003 Blogs
January 11, 2021 09:00 - 14 minutes - 21.6 MBAlthough blogs were not a technology developed specifically for education, it did not take long for educators and academics to realize the benefits associated with blogging. These ranged from the development of academic identities, quicker and more accessible dissemination of research findings, and the development of professional networks. But like other technologies examined in this book, blogging was not without challenges and setbacks before they gained academic acceptance.
Between the Chapters #9 resistance & care for the LMS with @OnlineCrsLady, @brennacgray & @carolak
January 07, 2021 09:00 - 48 minutes - 44.4 MBIn this Between the Chapters episode Laura talks with Laura Gibbs, Brenna Clarke Gray, and Caroline Kuhn about Chapter 9: The Learning Management System (LMS). The panel of this episode rejects how the LMS is not “linky” and how closed LMS constrains both the learner and educator from engaging online. But we also caution against how this LMS hub has grown since 2002 in its role for digital teaching and learning for higher ed institutions to also expand into a repository for data col...
Chapter 9: 2002 Learning Management Systems (LMS)
January 04, 2021 09:00 - 12 minutes - 17.8 MBWithout a doubt, the dominant educational technology in use today in most educational institutions is the Learning Management System (LMS) or Virtual Learning Environment (VLE). Despite repeated calls over the years by educators for the end of the one size fits all LMS/VLE, it has, like the institutions it serves, proved to be resilient and hard to break down. However, is this because the LMS is a "good enough" tool, or is it a result of "software sedimentation" that has resulted in...
Between the Chapters #8 reflecting on eLearning Standards with @LornaMCampbell & @philbarker
December 31, 2020 09:00 - 43 minutes - 39.6 MBFor this Between the Chapters book club episode, Laura is joined by Lorna Campbell and Phil Barker to talk about E-Learning Standards from Chapter 8 of Martin’s book. They discuss how learning resources were a challenge to define and became a challenge to standardize, as Phil said: “We have to remember that learning is not something that’s delivered. Learning is an activity. Learning is not content. Learning is a verb and not a noun.” Jisc JISC CETIS - Centre for Educational Tec...

Between the Chapters #7 searching for learning objects with @brlamb, @realdlnorman, & @kavubob
December 24, 2020 09:00 - 38 minutes - 34.9 MBIn this Between the Chapters episode Laura talks with Brian Lamb, D’Arcy Norman, and John Robertson about Chapter 7: Learning Objects. We learn about Brian and D’Arcy’s “meet cute” over moveable objects requests for repositories, and how John and others see learning objects as OERs with an open license. And see how some of these early tools, platforms, and ideas from learning objects helped to evolve into other useful learning spaces (e.g. blogs and wikis), attribution + open licens...
Chapter 7: 2000 Learning Objects
December 21, 2020 09:00 - 13 minutes - 14.7 MBDid Learning Objects succeed, or did they fail? Why did something that seemed to have such a compelling argument for their development seem to sputter in implementation? Read by Brian Lamb.
Between the Chapters #6 e-learning like it's 1999 with @blacktimelord
December 17, 2020 09:00 - 37 minutes - 34.7 MBIn this week’s Between the Chapters episode, Laura chats with Kelvin Bentley about all things e-Learning based on Martin’s Chapter 6: e-Learning. These reflections discuss how far e-Learning has and hasn’t come now that many higher ed institutions are being challenged during the pandemic, and what distance education will continue to look like post-COVID-19. More importantly, we discuss what we can learn from 1999 and take these building blocks for how we want learning to look like i...
Chapter 6: 1999 E-Learning
December 14, 2020 09:00 - 13 minutes - 20.5 MBIt could be argued that, at the turn of the last century, E-Learning ushered in a golden age of education technology with educators experimenting with numerous models and technologies to facilitate learning using the internet as the primary distribution and connective network. E-Learning is read by Angela Gunder.
Between the Chapters: #5 collaborating in wikis with @guzdial
December 10, 2020 09:00 - 36 minutes - 33.8 MBThis episode is targeted at Chapter 5: Wikis, but really we talk even more about how we create collaborative learning experiences, empower learners to contribute to their own courses, and how knowledge can be co-created in our educational spaces. Here are a few things we mentioned in the episode - enjoy: Squeak/Smalltalk Recognizing and supporting roles in CSCW (Guzdial, Rick, & Kerimbaev, 2000) Ward Cunningham developed the first wiki WikiWikiWeb: https://wiki.c2.com/ Piazza -...
Chapter 5: 1998 Wikis
December 07, 2020 09:00 - 13 minutes - 20.7 MB1998 is the year of the Wiki. With its roots in the hippie culture of California, the wiki was one of the first collaborative web platforms that led to the rise of a web that was not only consumable by anyone, but also writeable by anyone, and led to the development of one of the most popular collaborative websites in the world in Wikipedia. This chapter is read by Ken Bauer.
