Richard Noss - TEL
How can technology help us innovate?
Innovation 1: Redesigning learning & teaching
Innovation 2: Repurposing cultural contexts
Innovation 3: Rethinking the nature of knowing
Innovation 4: Revisioning knowledge & design

Redesigning learning & teaching
It’s about Practitioners, Intelligent Tools & Apps
Nigel; Digital Practitioner research project
Steve; Intelligent Tools in the hands of Practitioners
Josh; Flexible use of Apps and Android

Nigel Ecclesfield - LSIS
The Arrival of the Digital Practitioner?
“ learning with technology arises from the context of learner needs and draws on the use of web and mobile technologies both inside and outside institutional frameworks”

Steve Ryan - LSE
And more Informal learning processes…
Changing learning and teaching means rethinking practice with the use of intelligent tools deployed with greater awareness by practitioners

Josh Underwood – LKL
& we can make the most of consumer products
Android Market & the App Store point towards more agile models for personal and collaborative participation in design by bringing together product presentation, user ratings, social recommendations, feature requests, bug reports, other feedback, designer responses, related apps, etc.
In a more open future we might also expect links to user-generated re-designs

Repurposing Cultural Contexts
But it’s not just learning & teaching
Rose; Redesigning Learning Contexts
Fred; Ambient Learning City
John; Social Informality in the Workplace

Rose Luckin - LKL
And it’s not even just the institutions…
Emerging technology, such as social media, augmented reality and virtual worlds make it technically possible for learners to create and share multi-media and multi-sensory representations of their experiences and understanding.
These representations offer learners new opportunities to communicate their personal perspective and teachers new ways to inquire into student learning

Fred Garnett - LKL
Out here in the streets...
New contexts need new metaphors , new relationships, new partnerships
And new processes of participation using social media; we've developed " Aggregate then Curate "

John Cook - London Met
And in the workplace…
situated workplace learning, both formal and informal, is being given the same priority as motorways by the EC, which is why Horizon 2020 is getting €80 billion.
We need ‘Facebook for the workplace’
Challenges for TEL are the need to address impact and scale

Rethink the Nature of Knowing
New technology-enabled processes changing how we come to understand
Celia; rethinking Mathematics
Richard Cox; developing heterogeneous reasoning
Patrick; building on the affordances of being 'Open'

Celia Hoyles - IoE
Through evidenced-based design…
Technology can open access to knowledge in ways previously impossible through, for example, dynamic and graphical tools.
Our recent "MiGen” research project allowed learners to engage with some difficult ideas in mathematics by combining such tools with state-of-the-art pedagogy augmented by Artificial Intelligence techniques

Richard Cox - Edinburgh
And it’s not just the basics …
Experienced clinicians diagnose using several reasoning modes (deductive, case-based,..) but health science students lack a case-base so must reason only hypothetico-deductively.
PATSy (www.patsy.ac.uk) - an interactive virtual patient database - provides students with on-demand case-based reasoning practice. Enables students to become more heterogeneous reasoners. Students also learn vicariously from others

Patrick McAndrew - Open
To everyone using new technology…
The way in which people are relying on 'google knowledge' -search can also bring together people with very specialised interests.
The process of making technology ‘open’ changes many processes we take for granted

Revision Knowledge & Design
Which means that we can broaden the questions that we address
David; technology is society made durable
Patrick; identifying new patterns
Liz; seamless integration of technology innovation

David Jennings - Everything
not just institutionalised knowledge…
“ Technology is society made durable,” said Bruno Latour. That used to mean “made rigid and hard to change”.
With open, interconnected technology platforms, we can if we want to make society fluid, flexible and agile without losing durability (other than for hidebound institutions), and with more resilience

Patrick McAndrew - Open
To everyone using new technology…
Design approaches for learning in the open are as much about patterns for learning in the open, as changing content itself.
Technology is as much about pattern design as new tools and resources

Liz Burd - Durham
into a space we never dreamed we would be
Good technology innovation should seamlessly integrate into the work environment
Research into pervasive technologies must facilitate a process whereby those that engage with a new technology can adopt a scaffolded approach to its integration in its work practices
Celia; through "Evidenced-based design"

Technology Innovation
Our four big ideas on technology innovation require;
1. New skills; power tools for teachers
2. New relationships; in context, aggregate then curate social media
3. New tools; Apps, Open, Frameworks
4. New patterns in Society; not technology made durable, but adaptive & agile
