Heutagogy: Changing the Playing Field (ICDE Pre-Conference Workshop)Lisa Marie Blaschke
Pre-Conference Workshop at the ICDE 2015 World Conference. How will heutagogy change the playing field? An introduction to heutagogy -- the study of self-determined learning -- and an exploration of the potential impact this learning and teaching approach has to influence our education systems.
The presentation addresses the topic of pedagogy, and specifically, learner-centered education and the quality issues that surround and emerge as institutions transition to learner-centered education. The presentation also draws on the experiences we have had in our international master’s program in moving toward more competency-based education (a program offered together with the University of Maryland University College in the U.S.), identifying key quality issues and how these have been addressed. In addition, the presentation describes the trends — technologies (and delivery frameworks), pedagogies, political, social — that are working together to drive institutions toward more learner-centered education, as well as the opportunity e-learning institutions and organizations such as EDEN have to influence and lead this movement.

Self-determined learning: Creating personal learning environments for lifelon...Lisa Marie Blaschke
We live in a networked world that gives us a multitude of opportunities for creating, connecting, collaborating, and networking, allowing us to build multi-faceted learning environments of exploration and inquiry. Self-determined learning, or heutagogy, is one pedagogical approach that be can applied for taking advantage of these opportunities across all levels of schooling – starting from pre-school and kindergarten to post-secondary education and lifelong learning. Combined with technology, self-determined learning becomes a powerful means of creating personal learning environments that support lifelong learning. During this session, we will look at ways in which a self-determined learning approach has been applied across all learning communities and discuss how the approach can be used in practice, from the early years through formal education to lifelong learning.

Towards aligning pedagogy, space and technology inside a large-scale learning...Dr Wayne Barry
This is a presentation that was given at the Society for Research into Higher Education (SRHE) Newer Researchers’ Conference 2011: New communities, spaces and places: inspiring futures for higher education, 6-7 December 2011, Celtic Manor Resort, Newport, Wales.
The presentation outlines some of the findings from my year long master’s research project. The study revealed that both tutors and students experienced ‘troublesome space’, but in very different ways. For tutors, the learning spaces, if not fully understood or appropriately planned for, presented risks and challenges to their teaching practices. For students, it was not always clear what they could or could not do within a particular space.
Furthermore, evidence suggests that influencing students’ attitudes could engage them in using the learning environment more. However, students placed a high premium on ‘silent spaces’ (Beard, 2009) suggesting that policy makers and planners may need to consider the right balance between social and private spaces.
Finally, it proposes a conceptual model which illustrates the alignment of pedagogy, space and technology with the learner situated at its heart.
What is Heutagogy? And And how can we use it to help develop self-determined ...Lisa Marie Blaschke
Today's employees must readily adapt to quickly changing and complex work environments, and employers are looking to educational institutions to produce employment-ready students who will hit the ground running. Learning to learn has become an overarching theme, and as a result, interest in the theory of heutagogy, or the study of self-determined learning, is on the rise. This webinar would provide an overview of the theory as well as research- and practice-based examples of how we can help guide our students along the pedagogy-andragogy-heutagogy (PAH) continuum to become more self-determined learners.
Even before Covid-19, higher education was facing a perfect storm of challenges: increased costs, reduced funding, and rising industry demand for more skilled graduates. Educators were also challenged with finding ways to better prepare students for an uncertain future where lifelong learning skills are essential. The current pandemic has only served to intensify the storm, and educational institutions have rushed to technology in order to survive. In response to the new — or next — normal, institutional leaders are attempting to adapt traditional curriculum and systems so that they can transition rapidly to remote teaching and learning. Online, hybrid, and hyflex learning have become the beguiling buzzword solutions of today. How to survive this perfect storm and the storms to come? This presentation will propose that it is not technology that will best address these challenges; instead, a fundamental rethinking of how we teach and learn is necessary. By adopting heutagogy — or a pedagogy of agency, where the learner takes control of learning — will we be able to agilely transition and pivot across delivery methods, while also equipping our students with the lifelong learning skills and competencies required for the future.
The Power of Learning Analytics: Is There Still a Need for Educational Research?Bart Rienties
Across the globe many institutions and organisations have high hopes that learning analytics can play a major role in helping their organisations remain fit-for-purpose, flexible, and innovative. A broad goal of learning analytics is to apply the outcomes of analysing data gathered by monitoring and measuring the learning process. Learning analytics applications in education are expected to provide institutions with opportunities to support learner progression, but more importantly provide personalised, rich learning on a large scale. Substantial progress in learning analytics research has been made in the last few years.
Researchers in learning analytics use a range of advanced computational techniques (e.g., Bayesian modelling, cluster analysis, natural language processing, machine learning) for predicting which learners are likely to fail or succeed, and how to provide appropriate support in a flexible and adaptive manner.
In this keynote, I will argue that unless educational researchers at EARLI embrace some of the key principles, methods, and approaches of learning analytics, educational researchers may be left behind. In particular, a main merit of learning analytics is linking large datasets of actual learning processes and outcomes with learning dispositions and learner characteristics. Using evidence-based approaches rapid insights and advancements are developed how learning designs and learning processes can be optimised to maximise the potential of each learner. For example, our recent research with 151 modules and 133K students at the Open University UK indicates that learning design has a strong impact on student behaviour, satisfaction, and performance. Learning analytics can also drive learning in more “traditional”, face-to-face contexts. For example, by measuring emotions, epistemological expressions, and cross-cultural dialogue, social interactions can be effectively supported by innovative dashboards and adaptive
approaches. I aim to unpack the advantages and limitations of learning analytics and how EARLI researchers can embrace such data-driven research approaches

If the following keywords interest you, you should not miss this video: ontology, epistemology, psychology, educational paradigms, learning theories, and pedagogy. This video also for the first time introduces an original untested learning theory called by me "creation-based learning (CBL)". I embrace the learning paradigms of #constructivism and #connectivism. I also am a strong fan of constructionism. I hope CBL will be one step further to promote active learning online. In this video, I also raised the idea of "sustainable learning behaviors" and raised the attention of the public towards sustainable learning behaviors of creating, maintaining, recycling, renewing, and sharing knowledge using networked digital technologies.

New Spaces of Belonging: ePortfolios, Community and Digital Placemaking Brian...ePortfolios Australia
The shift to a physically distanced yet digitally connected campuses in response to COVID-19 has rendered visible the criticality of student-led technologies to engender a sense of community and belonging among students. This paper addresses the social and pedagogical value of ePortfolios in building a sense of belonging within in Higher Education by investigating synergies between well-established ePortfolio pedagogies and the cross-disciplinary fields of digital placemaking and innovative learning environment design. It addresses the need to create critical digital pedagogical models that are agnostic to the physical constraints of campus spaces and identify the utility of space as a heuristic for improved learning outcomes and increasing learner agency and belonging among scholarly communities of peers. Finally, the paper offers insights into spatiality for learning and belonging that achieve a balance of constructively aligned digital spaces while affording opportunities for student agency, ownership and belonging to community in the digital realm.
In response to the global pandemic, institutions everywhere swiftly pivoted to online learning in an attempt to help salvage and preserve education. During this abrupt shift to emergency remote teaching, students were neither prepared for learning remotely nor were they equipped with the kind of autonomy and agency needed for online learning. As a return to traditional classroom teaching is unforeseeable in the near future, it is crucial that we continue to improve upon our teaching and learning practices within online environments. This session will argue that we can view the current situation through a different prism: as a unique opportunity in which our students can be become agents of their learning and be enabled to take more control of their learning paths. The session will focus on the opportunities of online learning, specifically the teaching and learning approaches that can be used to engage students and to nurture their self-directed and self-determined learning skills in order to become better prepared for lifelong learning.
Transitioning to online: Capitalizing on opportunity within chaos Lisa Marie Blaschke
We’ve made it through the emergency remote teaching phase. What next? This session will discuss some of the ways you can continue to improve on your online teaching practice as you enter the next phase of teaching online, as well as explore opportunities that can be maximized during this phase. Topics will include practical tips and guidance for engaging in this next phase of online teaching from designing your interaction with students and choosing technology to learner support and development. Examples and resources will also be shared, and ample time will be given for answering your questions about online teaching and learning.
Preparing Leaders, Managers, and Instructors for Realizing TEL in Their Organ...Lisa Marie Blaschke
As more institutions grapple with incorporating technologies into the classroom — either in blended or purely online formats — there is an ongoing need for educational programmes that provide decision-makers with the necessary skills and competencies for navigating these often new spaces. Such spaces must be manoeuvred with care and with a holistic and contextual approach, as any adoption of technology requires transformation across the organisation, from education design and delivery to administrative tasks and service and support offerings. In addition, critical success factors must be considered, such as the implementational approach used and the roles of leadership, management, and faculty. The University of South Africa (Unisa) is a remarkable example of a leading higher education institution currently in the midst of this transformation.
To support institutions such as Unisa, the University of Oldenburg offers a certificate programme that is designed to equip managers, leaders, and educators with the theory and practice necessary for integrating technology enhanced learning (TEL) within their education environments. This Certificate of Advanced Studies (CAS) in Online Teaching and Learning (OTL) focuses on the various aspects of realizing TEL in organisations, from understanding the basic principles and theories of TEL to the design of instructional environments and learner support.
This session would examine the ongoing partnership between Unisa and the University of Oldenburg in delivering the OTL certificate programme for educators and managers, as well as discuss the business model, programme content, student experiences, and foreseeable applications.

Applying heutagogy in online education: Designing for self-determined learningLisa Marie Blaschke
Heutagogy, or the study of self-determined learning, has been gaining interest within the field of education as a learner-centered theory that can help nurture lifelong learning skills and develop learners who are able to quickly adapt to rapidly changing and complex workplace environments. Built on foundational educational theories such as humanism, constructivism, reflective practice, double-loop learning, transformative learning, capability, and self-efficacy, heutagogy can be viewed as an extension of andragogy as part of a pedagogy-andragogy-heutagogy (PAH) continuum. The theory’s key principles include human agency (learner-centeredness), capability, self-reflection and metacognition (double-loop learning or learning to learn), and nonlinear teaching and learning, and when combined with today’s technology, heutagogy offers a holistic framework for teaching and learning that supports development of self-determined, autonomous learners and provides a basis for creating comprehensive, learner-centered education environments. The theory of heutagogy also aligns closely with the goals of online education due to its promotion of learner agency and autonomy, openness, social justice, and democratization of education. This presentation will introduce conference delegates to the theory of heutagogy, its key principles, elements, and theoretical basis, as well as provide examples of how heutagogy can be applied in online education environments to support the development of students’ self-determined and lifelong learning skills. The session will also provide guidance for instructors who want to design for heutagogy in the classroom and offer examples for integrating technological tools and social media such as Twitter, blogs, LinkedIn groups, and Google Docs, that can be used to support self-determined and lifelong learning skills.

Social media has become more ubiquitous within higher education and can play an important role in helping students become more self-determined in their learning and in building and sustaining a personal learning network (PLN) throughout their studies and beyond. This lecture will provide a framework for defining and choosing social media for use in the classroom, based on using a heutagogical (self-determined learning) approach to course design. The lecture will also demo a variety of ways for incorporating social media such as Twitter, e-portfolios, mind-mapping, GoogleDocs, and Diigo within the classroom.
Learning for Life: Preparing Learners for the Complexities of the Workplace T...Lisa Marie Blaschke
Today s learners need to be well-prepared for the complex demands of ever-fluctuating, international business environments. To help students contend with this rapid pace of change, our institutions of higher education need to equip them with the necessary knowledge and skills to ensure their success. But how to achieve this when what we teach learners today can easily change and even be irrelevant tomorrow? Heutagogy provides meaningful, pedagogical guidance for navigating a shifting higher education landscape, as well as a rapidly evolving technological one. This keynote will discuss the barriers that have kept us from implementing heutagogy within higher education in the past and the more recent developments that are causing those barriers to slowly begin slipping away. We will also consider why it is necessary for higher education to adopt forms heutagogical practice in order to prepare students for lifelong learning and the web 2.0 and social media that help us do just that.

Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

Team-based messaging; copies the "flow" of work
But the research shows that when we repeat information well, with timed intervals between, and we ask people questions (to force our brains to “retrieve” information), we actually create new learning pathways, just the same way we learn certain “on the job skills” through practice, repetition, and continuous questioning about why something didn’t work.
The pedagogical framework I would like to talk to you about today is called heutagogy, also known as self-determined learning.
I stumbled upon heutagogy while doing research into social media and reflective learning journals. Along with Siemens & Downes‘ theory of connectivism, Terry Anderson described heutagogy as a network-centric learning theory.
Heutagogy was first defined by Stewart Hase and Chris Kenyon, both from Australia, in 2000. This is their definition.
Roots in earlier learning theories such as humanism, constructivism, douple-loop learning, and andragogy, which have contributed to the elements of heutagogy.
These elements are…
Heutagogy is not new. (This was pointed out to me at the RIDE conference in 2013.) On the contrary, heutagogy has its roots in earlier learning theories and concepts such as humanism (Maslow and Rogers), constructivism (Vygotsky), reflective practice (Schön), douple-loop learning (Argyris and Schön), andragogy (Knowles), transformative learning (Mezirow), capabilities (Stephenson), self-efficacy (Bandurra), all of which have contributed to the fundamental principles of heutagogy.
The heutagogical approach can be viewed as a progression from pedagogy to andragogy to heutagogy, with learners likewise progressing in maturity and autonomy (Canning, 2010, see Figure 2). More mature learners require less instructor control and course structure and can be more self-directed in their learning, while less mature learners require more instructor guidance and course scaffolding (Canning & Callan, 2010; Kenyon & Hase, 2010). Cognitive development of learners, a requirement for critical reflection and discourse to occur, could also be integrated into this pyramid, with cognitive development progressing in parallel with learner maturity and autonomy (Mezirow, 1997).
One way to think of heutagogy is as a continuum of pedagogy and andragogy. (Fred Garnett has called it the PAH continuum).
There are two schools of thought among heutagogy activists: One is that heutagogy is placed at the end of the PAH continuum and is only practiced by those with high levels of learner autonomy.

A Heutagogical learning environment has the following key elements (learner in center).
Explore: Fundamental to heutagogy is the element of exploration. Learners must be given the freedom and opportunity to explore a variety of paths and sources of knowledge on their journey. They need to be able to develop and test hypotheses, and ask and answer questions – all of which arise during the process of exploring. Structured curricula are out; learner-defined curricula are in.
Create: Another important design element of heutagogy is giving the learner the freedom to create. This can be achieved using a variety of learning approaches, e.g., writing, designing, and drawing. What is important is that the learner is actively involved.
Collaborate: Collaboration is another key element to heutagogy and aims to provide the kind of environment where learners can learner from each other. Working together toward a common goal, learners are able to solve problems and reinforce their knowledge by sharing information and experiences, continuously practicing, and experimenting by trial and error. They simply help each other along the way. The teacher serves as coach during the collaboration process.t
Connect: Networks and connections are a critical aspect within heutagogy, as it is through these connections that new avenues of learning can be created. Making connections is easy with today’s social media, which give learners an opportunity to network with people across the world…and I will talk more about this later.
Share: : Once learners have started connecting, they can begin sharing.
Reflect: Finally, within every heutagogic learning environment, learners need to have opportunities to reflect. This is where there is potential for new learning to occur and previous learning to be consolidated. Reflection provides an opportunity to ascend to higher levels of cognitive activity such as analysis and synthesis. Repetition helps information move from short- to long-term memory. This reflective activity should include reflecting on the new knowledge that the learner has gained, as well as how she or he has learned – and the ways in which this learning experience has influenced his or her value system and beliefs.
