Reimagine Education’s Updates

Welcome to Scholar

Welcome to the Project Page for our Reimage Education conference submission. This is to support the project Facilitating Learning through the Scholar Social Knowledge Platform.

Our Project Page is set up as a Scholar Community space, exactly the same as the way we connect learners together through our platform. Please feel free to read through our Introduction to Scholar Upates, visit all of our resources, and join as a member if you want to see more!

Scholar consists of five working spaces, or apps.

  • Community is a discussion and portfolio space that is a little bit like all of Facebook, Twittter, LinkedIn, and a blog ... and in some ways quite different from all of them. Community is dedicated to forming knowledge communities in ways that other social media are not.
  • Creator is a digital workspace that is different from a processor in two important ways—it is genuinely multimodal, allowing you to combine text, image, video, audio, dataset and any other file into a composite 'work'; and it a very social space, supporting structured feedback.
  • Publisher is where groups of people are organized to provide feedback on each other's works.
  • Analytics provides a whole lot of knowledge and learning data to teachers, learners and participants in knowledge communities.
  • Bookstore delivers content created in Scholar, including our revolutionary Learning Module format.

For more information, see Introducing Scholar and Navigating Scholar. For a full overview of, visit the Scholar Tutorials.

Scholar is built on the New Learning Pedagogies of what we call the Seven Affordances of e-Learning as described in this video:
