6. Guiding Pedagogies
• Authentic learning
• Authentic assessment
• Personalised learning
• Peer learning

7. Authentic Learning
• …require students to complete
complex real-world tasks over
a period of time in collaboration
with others as they would in a
real setting or workplace
(Herrington, 2006)

8. Authentic Assessment
• Empowering the learner by
engaging them in assessment
tasks that simulate or engage
the learner in real-life
situations.
• “Engaging and worthy
problems or questions of
importance, in which students
must use knowledge to fashion
performances effectively and
creatively” (Wiggins, 1993, p.
229).

9. Personalised Learning
• Learning pathways
• ePortfolios
• The knowledge, skills and
attitudes that enable learning
and act as a catalyst to
empower the learner to continue
to learn (Keppell, 2015)

10. Peer Learning
• Students teaching and
learning from each other.
• Sharing ideas, knowledge
and experiences
• Emphasises interdependent
as opposed to independent
learning (Boud, 2001).

11. Interactions
• Interactive learning (learner-
to-content)
• Networked learning (learner-
to-learner; learner-to-teacher)
• Student-generated content
(learner-as-designers).
• Connected students
(knowledge is in the network)
• Learning-oriented
assessment (assessment-as-
learning).
