11. “In heutagogy, learning moves from self-
direction to self-determination. The role of the
teacher is to facilitate learning and students
take responsibility for creating their own
learning pathway by choosing what they want
to learn, setting learning goals and choosing
the most appropriate method of learning to
them. In doing so students develop the
capability to become autonomous and lifelong
learners.”

Higher Education Academy (2017)

12. “By opening up education, making it
inclusive and accessible, and by
encouraging reflection and self-
determined learners we run the risk of
opening up challenging conversations,
between ourselves, and with our
students, as it could highlight innate
bias within our own practice”
Julie Fellmayer, 2018. Disruptive Pedagogy and the Practice of Freedom
1212

Small things you can do to work more openly:
• Use Social media to disseminate.
• Write a Blog.
• Publish online.
• Trust students. Allow them to explore.
• Encourage students to work openly.

16. “It has never been more risky to
operate in the open and yet it has
never been more vital…”
