Effective use of new technologies requires a radical rethink of the core learning and teaching processes; a shift from design as an internalised, implicit and individually crafted process to one that is externalised andshareable with others. Change in practice may indeed involve the use of revised materials, new teaching strategies and beliefs - all in relation to educational innovation.

So what is learning?

So what is learning?Thought by itself, however,moves nothing; what moves usis thought aiming at some goaland concerned with action(Aristotle)

Pedagogical focus We are all potential teachers and learners We learn well through act of creating We learn by observing the activities of our peers By understanding the contexts of others, we can teach in more transformative ways A learning environment needs to be ﬂexible Dougiamas, Athens, 2nd October 2010

Co-evolution of tools and practice Affordances (Gibson) ‘All "action possibilities" latent in an environmentt… but always in relation to the actor and therefore dependent on their capabilities.’ For instance, a tall tree offers the affordances of food for a Giraffe but not a sheep.

Open practices What are the implications of adopting moreopen approaches?

Open resources

Open courses

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 Conole, 2010b

Open research

Open Scholarship 35 Discovery Integration Application Teaching Open Digital Networked Weller: http://nogoodreason.typepad.co.uk/

Dialogue and collaboration A space for sharing and discussing learning and teaching ideas Application of web 2.0 practice Examples for teachers & learners to share/discuss A space for collaboration & communication Helps develop skills needed for engaging with new technologies’

Limitless• Unbounded intelligence• Unlocking potential• Distributed cognition (people and technologies) Trailer

Final thoughts• Boundaries are blurring• Teachers and learners need new digital skills• Need to rethink design and support• Need new pedagogical approaches to make effective use of new technologies• Challenges to traditional educational offerings• Balance of institutional vs. free systems
