2. Emergent Learning Model OR Smart Mobs plus Everything is Miscellaneous means Here Comes Everybody

3. Emergent Learning Model Background; Learner-Generated Contexts Open Context Model of Learning Architectures of Participation Bologna Process Informal, Non-formal, Formal Learning Emergent Learning goes GLAM

4. Emergent Learning Model Definition; A context created by people interacting together with a common, self-defined or negotiated learning goal. The key aspect of Learner Generated Contexts is that they are generated through the enterprise of those who would previously have been consumers in a context created for them. (Wikipedia)

5. Emergent Learning Model LGC Origins; A Team who built a Facebook for earning in 2004 (before social network) Socially Inclusive; Community Development Model of Learning (Freire) Participant Design; Ecology of Resources Model of Learner (Vygotsky)

6. Emergent Learning Model Open Context Model of Learning; A Pedagogy for an Open World or “ Coincidence of Motivations leading to Agile Configurations ” Outlined by PAH Continuum; Pedagogy ; Subject Disciplines Andragogy ; Collaboration Heutagogy ; Playing with Form

8. Emergent Learning Model An Architecture of Participation Adaptive Institutions working across Collaborative Networks’ Beyond the Institution as Physical Location Beyond buildings as demarcation Communities of Interest & Practice becoming Landscapes of Interest and Networks of Practice

9. Emergent Learning Model OR Participative Education for a Participative Democracy

10. Emergent Learning Model Emergent Learning Model Designed to meet EU i2015 & i2020 Post-Bologna Process targets of Integrating; Informal, Non-formal & Formal Learning

11. Emergent Learning Model Rethinking Informal Learning (Libraries, Museums) Non-formal (Training, post-compulsory) Formal Learning (Institutions & Quals) As Social Processes (People) Content (Created & Consumed) Context (Quality Assurance)

12. Emergent Learning Model Rethinking Informal Learning Focus on the social process that support learning; i.e. People Not places or type or policy ownership or targets (DfES) “ Informal Learning is the social processes that support learning in any context ”

13. Emergent Learning Model Rethinking Non-formal Learning Focus on the content that supports learning (design for appropriation) OR The content-creation that reflects learning (Learner or User-generated) “ Non-formal Learning is Structured Learning resources without formal learning outcomes ”

14. Emergent Learning Model Rethinking Formal Learning Traditional focus on institutions with little concern on what happened within; concern with Estates Management OR “it’s where the money is” “ Formal Education (!) is the process of administering & quality assuring accreditation & qualification”

15. Emergent Learning Model Flow & Emergence Can we use this re-conceptualising to design for a flow of learning? Start with institution & impose processes OR Start with the social processes of learning & design for emergent behaviours

16. Emergent Learning Model Informal Learning Phase ; enabling models of learner-self-organisation that can be recognised post-hoc Non-formal Learning Phase ; Resources designed for learner-appropriation. Content-creation toolkits easily accessible and quality assured (templates? guides?) Formal Learning Phase ; support resource provision, mapping to accredited learning outcomes, quality assuring processes, linking to system needs ?GLAM; ‘participative curatorial strategies enabling self-organisation, collaboration and content-creation.

17. Emergent Learning Model Why does this matter to GLAM? 1) Rethinking Roles and Processes 2) Change Socio-Economic Context 21 st Century Evolving changes in the socio-technical context Web As Resource (New Literacies of Access) Web as Platform (Permanent Beta & new Content) Web as Location (Identities & New Contexts) OR It is where the students are
