Where? What? Why? How? Plan

Future Thinking “ Those in the vanguard of technical developments are already signalling the ‘Death of the VLE’ (Stiles 2007) and heralding a new set of approaches based on a different pedagogic outlook and on the underlying technologies and social and collaborative tools that are collectively labelled the Web 2.0 phenomenon.” (Jisc Infonet – Exploring Tangible benefits of e-learning)

Learners want it Pedagogy 2.0 Tensions between innovation and control © Mark Stiles – Staffordshire University Fresh ideas More friendly space for learning Digital Natives v Digital Immigrants Pedagogy 2.0 McLoughlin and Lee posit that future learning environments must capitalize on the potential of Web 2.0 by combining social software tools with connectivist pedagogical models. The combination produces what the authors call Pedagogy 2.0 , a model of learning in which learners are empowered to participate, learn, and create knowledge in ways that are personally meaningful and engaging.
