@Jam3sMac multiplicity as schizophrenia: implication that multiplicity is bad? fragmentation as disorder? can multiplicity b good? #mscidel
@jenna_fyfe @MKristola if embodiment is in the moment & emotionally & intellectucally engaged - are we talking 'present'? ie aware? #mscidel
@s0793898 #mscidel interesting idea! Have we become superficial in our approach to tech? Do you think we should become "Masters" of IT?
How abstract do we wnt R lives 2 become? Beyond checking our car's oil & water, have we lost track of the mechanics of things? #mscidel
@nineetc #mscidel - does this mean embodiment lives on in legacy? Also thinking about Wittgenstein eg. cited in Dreyfus
#mscidel are multiple embodiments going to lead to a form of online schizophrenia?
#mscidel http://t.co/KtnYLdyd Brief article - Interesting to ask if courses should be designed differently if taught online vs f2f or mix?
#mscidel That said, there will always be areas where a physical presence is required, e.g, surgeons! Gah, 140 word limit - bad times. Lunch!
#mscidel For me, physical presence is becoming less and less of an issue in a variety of areas - work and education being the key ones
#mscidel re the status of the written word - i think johnny thunders beats derrida - you can't put your arms around a memory
#mscidel you're not dismbodied - just your words are. like if you write a note and someone reads it later.
#mscidel @MKristola embodiment being in the moment - agreed but also feeling emotionally and intellectually engaged
new methods of interacting - not trying to replicate physical presence as SecondLife? #mscidel
@claraoshea thinking about that this morning - new methods of interacting - not trying to replicate physical presence? #mscidel
@metaself #mscidel pub for chat: :-D does that mean we need replicas of f2f spaces online or come up with new ways of interacting - or both?
@MKristola all really good points. Maria suggests embodiment is being in the moment - what do others think? #mscidel
@claraoshea don't feel distant at all - but would like to go down the pub and have a chat! another dichotomy... #mscidel
re word counts - a lovely example of short=powerful :) http://t.co/Y1SdLmMm #mscidel
@JanetDonaldson1 good qs! I'd add, is online learning distance education(online=distance?) Do we feel 'distanced' from each other? #mscidel
@philshe re speech bubbles - click on it and it shows the conversation (who replied to what) #mscidel
DE or OE? DE does have negative connotations sometimes - is OE better/different? Does f2f takes away some learner 'responsibility'? #mscidel
Folks, if you have your twitter profile set to 'private' your tweets won't show in the #mscidel stream.
@jackie8008 definitely a cultural divide - undergrad / Postgrad plus - better Self-determination (subject dependent) #mscidel
#mscidel Colleague yesterday said that she preferred DE for post-grad study. Then can be more selective in what to participate in.
RT @metaself: Do you need f2f for PostGrad study? #mscidel Don't think you need f2f with taught masters but may depend on subject
