3. Research
• mLearning
• Humanities
• Multimodality
• Field activity
• Informal/formal
learning
• M4D

4. Questions
1. Mobility and
motion in
teaching and
learning?
2. Deep learning?
3. Think and speak
across modes,
media, and
spaces?

5. Observations
• Incomplete understanding how learning works
in open spaces (or how to define open at all)
• Miniaturization of content/activities requires
balance and contextualization (w/bigger picture
thinking)
• Process-oriented approach/pedagogy avoids
technological determinism

6. Decisions
• STEM or non-STEM?
• Fuzzy ideas or
discrete outputs?
• Process over
outcome?
• Method or
madness?

7. Observations
Contextualization
(Introduction,
Orientation)
Learning Process
(Alignment,
Discussion,
Articulation,
Initial
Compositions)
Outputs,
Assessments
and Literacies

9. Open Space

10. Open: A definition
Open= a state inclusivity objects, artifacts,
places, people and events. It is also a mental
state that acknowledges that meaning is
gleaned from an alignment with what is
available (Gallagher, Ihanaeinen, 2014).

11. Learning in the Open

12. Learning in the Open: Alignment

13. Learning in the Open: Alignment

14. Learning in the Open: Needs

15. Learning in the Open: Pedagogy

16. Learning in the Open: Events
Formal
• Helsinki (x2)
• Seoul (x2)
• Talinn
Informal
• Edinburgh
• London
• New York

17. Learning in the Open: Process
1. Open, informal workshop
2. Participant-driven
3. Objectives loosely defined
4. Data collected
5. Data reflected upon
6. Data composed
7. Scrutinized through dialogue/discussion

18. Learning in the Open: Process
1. Loosely negotiate a
theme
2. Collect data
3. Identify themes
emerging from data
4. Compose, present
and share (OER)

19. Learning in the Open: Themes
