New digital literacies Participatory culture shifts the focus of literacy from one of individual expression to community involvement. The new literacies almost all involve social skills developed through collaboration and networking Jenkins et al., 2006

Learner experience 17• Technology immersed• Learning approaches: task- orientated, experiential, just in time, cumulative, social• Personalised digital learning environment• Mix of institutional systems and Cloud-based tools and services• Use of course materials with free resources Sharpe, Beetham and De Freitas, 2010

EDUCAUSE study 18 Students drawn to new technologies but rely on more traditional ones Consider technologies offer major educational beneﬁts Mixed views of VLEs

Teacher practices: paradoxes 19• Technologies not extensively used (Molenda)• Lack of uptake of OER (McAndrew et al.)• Little use beyond early adopted (Rogers)• Despite rhetoric and funding little evidence of transformation (Cuban, Pandora’s box Ehlers)

Open design Shift from belief-based, implicit approaches to design-based, explicit approaches Learning Design A design-based approach to creation and support of courses Encourages reﬂective, scholarly practicesPromotes sharing and discussion

Deﬁnition A methodology for enabling teachers/designers to make more informed decisions in how they go about designing learning activities andinterventions, which is pedagogically informed and makes effective use of appropriate resources andtechnologies. This includes the design of resources and individual learning activities right up to curriculum-level design. A key principle is to help make the design process more explicit and shareable. Learning design as an area of researchand development includes both gathering empiricalevidence to understand the design process, as well as the development of a range of learning design resources, tools and activities.

E-learning papersspecial issue  Background   Potential of social and participatory media   Plethora of new technologies and OER but little uptake   Range of issues (technical, pedagogical and organisational)  Focus   How can learning interventions be represented?   Implications of new media for learners, teachers & institutions?   What new pedagogies are emerging?   How are OER being design, used & repurposed?   What are the implications of free resources, tools & courses?

1. Typologies of learning design  LD as: concept, process and product  Example: A virtual field history trip in LAMS Eva Dobozy !

2. Patterns to design TEL scenarios  Importance of more formal LD representations  Example: application to teaching computing curriculum  Patterns as mediators between pedagogy and technology Félix Buendía-García ! José Vte. Benlloch-Dualde!

3. Students as designers  Challenges traditional transmission modes of pedagogy  Requires teachers to give some control to students  Describes two case studies  Exploiting potential of social media  Encourages deeper engagement in the learning process Leanne Cameron! MiriamTanti!

4. Collaborative Constructive Participation  Application of well established pedagogical principles: Community of learners, Community of Practice, socio- constructivism, dialogic learning, and knowledge building  Consists of a 3-level assessment tool for web- based discussions Ligorio M. Beatrice! Cucchiara Stefania!

5. Knowledge building  Action research on use of Web 2.0 tools in the classroom  Knowledge building enables student to be active participants Gail Casey !

6. Invitational online learning environments  Importance of respect, trust, intentionality, and optimism  Reports on. Arts-based learning interventions like Reflective Poetry, Minute at the Movies Analysis, “Our Community” Soap Scenes, and Theme Songs  Inexpensive, adaptable interventions enhance learning environments by encouraging human connections and creativity Beth Perry! Katherine J. Janzen! Margaret Edwards, !

Final thoughts Open,participatory and social media enable new forms of communication and collaboration Communities in these spaces are complex and distributed Learners and teachers need to develop new digital literacy skills to harness their potential We need to rethink how we design, support and assess learning Open,participatory and social media can provide mechanisms for us to share and discuss teaching and research ideas in new ways We are seeing a blurring of boundaries: teachers/ learners, teaching/research, real/virtual spaces, formal/ informal modes of communication and publication
