How can media construct open spaces for learning?

On January 14th, 2008 I was fortunate enough to reconnect with a former colleague from the School of Communication, Dr. Roman Onufrijchuk. We were given the task to explore the question of how media could construct open spaces in learning. We did so by letting the audiences follow us through our two very unique journeys to explore this question in our own teaching. My journey focused on the creation of media education lessons using Imaginative Education for elementary classrooms, focusing specifically on oral-language development through the disruption of students’ everyday understanding of media. Roman focused on the experimental use of multi-media learning– although without TV and film– and reported on his adventures with undergrad classes, using Internet, orality, chirography and print as means and methods for teaching & learning. It was video taped by IERG and available on their site: Seminar: How can media construct open spaces for learning.
