Heutagogy & Technology Stewardship Topics Overview Why Technology Stewardship? Three Approaches to Technology Stewardship Workshop Group Activities Workshop Issues Plenary Observations by Thomas Cochrane

Heutagogy & Technology Stewardship Overview; how do we broker the future? We are examining the theory and practice of embedding social media for learning across HE Institutions through the activities of Technology Stewards. Conference presentations from @courosa onwards have looked at diverse, creative ways of using social media. This is looking at one strategy for embedding their use. Why Technology Stewards? Etienne Wenger; “ Being a technology steward has very little to do with being an expert technology user, instead it’s much more about understanding the connections and interactions of human networks ” Ben Hammersley ; the tension between Hierarchy & Networks Tech Stewards resolve that tension; 45%

Heutagogy & Technology Stewardship Three approaches to the role of Technology Stewards 1) Theory; Heutagogy and institutional engagement with social media; Fred Garnett on “Three Levels of Technology Stewards” 2) Practice; The Institutional Role of the Technology Steward; Paul Lowe on extending the use of social media across the University of the Arts 3) eTeams Using mobile social media in institutional Communities of Practice; Thomas Cochrane on embedding Technology Stewards as Action Researchers

Heutagogy & Technology Stewardship Heutagogy and institutional transformation Heutagogy; The creative playing with form Applying heutagogy at the institutional level A PAH Continuum for the Institution as a Framework for enabling Institutional Transformation Applying web 2.0 principles to create an Architecture of Participation; “ adaptive institutions working across collaborative networks ” BUT; ‘ the maturity of the technological infrastructure to levels of adoption' is a key inhibitor (Conole/ Alevizou 2010) So enter the “Three Levels of Technology Stewards”

Heutagogy & Technology Stewardship
Workshop Activities;
Which of these three approaches inspires you? What ideas within them sound most useful? How might you take them back to your institution and make them happen.
You might want to consider organizing workshops, bringing in guest speakers such as Wenger, or others, so you can debate these issues with colleagues.
You might get a Technology Steward(s) appointed with clear roles and responsibilities acting as an evangelist for new modes of learning based on their own practice.

Workshop Activities;
You might want to focus on course teams or course planning & take a Community of Practice approach aligned with a number of ancillary concerns in terms of responsibilities, planning, co-design, student-generated content, student-generated contexts, action research.
You might want to share your emerging practice in the professional communities to which you feel a part of.
You might want to raise discussions with PVC Learning and Teaching on how to change, develop, or extend existing practice based on the above
