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

3. 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%

5. 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

6. 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”
