The document discusses the changing role of academic libraries from places focused on information access and instructional support to dynamic learning centers. It argues that libraries should become learner-focused spaces that facilitate discovery learning through the use of technologies, collaborative projects, and informal learning methods. The goal is to help students build competencies and skills through an engaged, participatory process of knowledge creation rather than the traditional information transfer model of education. The library's role would shift from supporting the curriculum to supporting the learner at different stages of competence.
Enabling Flexible Distributed Learning (FDL) at Oxford Brookes UniversityGeorge Roberts

It provides background on FDL, defines strategic concepts of flexibility, and discusses the Brookes context. It also covers frameworks, standards, and quality considerations for FDL. Key points addressed include widening participation, learning technology affordances, definitions of FDL, and a blended learning model.
The document discusses the evolution of education and technology. It contains quotes from thinkers like Norbert Elias and Alvin Toffler discussing how education is moving towards developing skills like creativity, entrepreneurship, and adaptability. It also describes the development of Collegerama, a project at the Technical University of Delft to digitize educational content and make it widely accessible online. The document outlines the three stage strategy used to promote Collegerama and gain support. It provides an overview of Collegerama's capabilities and future plans to expand access to distance learning and new technologies.
The document discusses information literacy models and their role in teaching and learning. It provides an overview of different definitions of information literacy and theories that have informed the development of information literacy models. While models can provide a framework, they need to be flexible and adaptable. The future may see information literacy more embedded in the curriculum across different disciplines, taught both implicitly and explicitly, requiring advocacy and collaboration with academic staff. A new model is being developed to address these issues.

Moving toward pedagogical change faculty, teaching with technology and leader...COHERE2012
This document discusses leadership strategies for facilitating pedagogical change through the use of technology in higher education. It argues that teaching must become a central focus that is rewarded and supported. Effective pedagogical development requires open communication, critical reflection, establishing an inquisitive community. Leadership must manage innovation, maintain relationships, embrace network environments, and ensure a transition to new teaching and learning models. Leaders need strong character, vision communication skills, and the ability to manage change and assist stakeholders through transformation.

Digital Learning Architectures of Participation our new book published by IGI Global July 2020. How can we build learning infrastructures for the 21st century? We ask 8 key questions and answer them with new toolkits and our development frameworks. Links to the book and book chapters. Links to our blogs and more online resources
A talk given in Berlin to the Digitale Chancen agency concerned with Digital Inclusion.
We developed a socially inclusive model of learning based on user behaviours in UK online centres derived from research by LTRI (John Cook).
The Community Development Model of Learning was an attempt to answer questions by Diana Laurillard on how we could make that research useful
Our view was that inclusion in learning needs to be interest-based not curriculum-based, and that people would work how to develop their communities socially rather than themselves personally.
This describes some features on how to design for that
The document describes the Ecology of Resources (EoR) framework, which was developed to model contextual learning. It discusses applying the EoR framework to a study examining how teenagers conceptualize their energy use through interviews and a photo diary study. The EoR framework involves 3 phases: 1) creating a model of learning resources by categorizing elements from the study data, 2) identifying relationships between resources, and 3) developing scaffolds to support identified learning relationships.
Global online learning is steadily increasing worldwide. MOOCs initially took the world by storm but have since opened up opportunities for massive innovation in education. While MOOCs are initially open in terms of free enrollment, most course content is not openly licensed. Governments are implementing strategies to promote digital learning and the application of information technologies. Online and campus-based learning are converging into blended models. Technological advances will continue to remove barriers to access while new understandings of learning and the brain will shape new pedagogical approaches. We are still in the early stages of these developments.
This document discusses the need to reconceive education, redefine learning, and reinvent schools in light of technological changes. It argues that education should focus on developing students' competencies to become autonomous and capable adults, rather than merely transmitting information. Learning is defined as an active process of developing skills through doing and collaboration. The traditional school model of teachers delivering content is criticized, and an alternative "new school" model is proposed that is more flexible, personalized, and integrated with students' lives. Technology is discussed not just as a tool to deliver content, but as something that can make learning more engaging, adaptive to students' interests, and connected to real-world problem solving. The role of teachers shifts from instructors to facilitators
Contextualization of Open Educational Resources in Asia and EuropeJan Pawlowski
The document discusses lessons learned from case studies on contextualizing open educational resources (OER) in Asia and Europe. It finds that successful initiatives integrate OER with existing programs, have policy support, and focus on capacity and awareness building. Cross-border collaboration is needed but has been limited, and quality assurance must consider different country and organization requirements. Early sharing of ideas and materials through their full lifecycle can facilitate collaborative OER development across borders. Continued partnership and clear actions for global collaboration are important next steps.
The document summarizes the findings of a survey of 700 practitioners at 16 further education colleges about their use of technology. Key findings include:
1) Practitioners are natural explorers of technology and describe its impact in terms of teaching and learning rather than just the technologies themselves.
2) Over 90% see the learning platform Moodle as normal practice in their work.
3) Practitioners develop technology skills through personal exploration and insight rather than formal training, resulting in a diverse range of experiences and approaches.
4) Professional development should focus on pedagogy over technology and support the "reflective practitioner" that emerges when digital natives become professionals.
Building a Hybrid Learning Environment - Augmenting the Classroom with Conver...Atul Pant
How can teachers create a hybrid learning environment to augment their classroom teaching with online conversation and collaboration. This presentation, which I made at Allahabad University in Oct 2012, looks at the reasons why a hybrid approach is much needed and gives an overview of mostly free tools that can be used to create such a learning experience.
Some thoughts on the consequences of educational technology for institutions & building organisational Architecture of Participation. Still being updated @Feb 22
Since 1960 and throughout the 90's education has witnessed incremental changes in public policy that has ranged from improved practices to big government presidential initiatives starting with Johnston, Regan, Clinton, Bush, and Obama. What may be missing in these incremental changes to improve education are the disruptive technology innovations that have occurred over time when education policy makers were conversing on the ideas of accountability through federal support structures. These were the disruptive innovations that were occurring within society; the technology innovations responsible for the first transistor radio, home computer, and internet. The same disruptive innovations creating a global telecommunication network that encouraged imagination and began to customize individual learning from Web 1.0 (read and write web) to the construction of Web 2.0 (social networks) of share and share alike resources.
The document discusses the Emergent Learning Model (ELM), which aims to apply Web 2.0 participatory tools to learning. ELM views learning as self-developed and self-managed within both formal and informal contexts. ELM can be used as a development framework to design new educational practices and learning ecosystems in a world of online resource abundance. While ELM allows integration of informal and formal learning, implementation challenges often emerge that require further refinement of techniques and processes.
1) Learners in open, unstructured environments use a variety of approaches to learn, including formal learning, libraries of examples and cases, dynamic knowledge sources like wikis, knowledge networks, and collaborative spaces.
2) They learn from people with similar skills or goals, their peers, tutors, and external contacts through both individual activities and group work.
3) Rather than having learning pathways strictly defined, learners structure their own learning by setting goals and drawing on resources, people, and groups within their networks.
OpenEducation 2030 keynote at EADTU ParisYves Punie
The document discusses potential scenarios for open education in 2030 based on foresight work done by the Institute for Prospective Technological Studies. Four main scenarios for higher education in 2030 are presented based on two key tensions: the learning context (guided vs self-guided) and learning goals (externally set vs learner initiated). The scenarios include the Guided Journey, Guided Discovery, Self-Guided Journey, and Self-Guided Discovery. Each scenario outlines the potential key roles of higher education institutions and differences in where, when, what, and how learning would take place.
What is “content” and how might we (not) get beyond it? Norm Friesen
At first glance, the meaning of the term "content" could not be more obvious. It is the stuff we share, study, watch, create and mashup on the Web. However, a closer look at content as substance, as educational, as opposed to form, and even --deposed or enthroned on the Web-- as king, raises many more questions. What is the ³educational² nature of content and how does it relate to its (re)usability? How does form (e.g. learning designs, management systems) relate to content? And what makes it valuable or valueless?
This presentation taps into ideas of curriculum as an overall structure that both enables and limits the coherence of educational ³contents,² contexts and purposes. It looks at the issue of specificity and irreplaceability that is implied in the notion of content as substance and
materiality -as something that is actually specific to a place and time, rather than ubiquitous and (theoretically) endlessly adaptable. Our point, in short, is to show that content is something to understand more fully before we leave it behind.
The document discusses connectivist MOOCs (cMOOCs) and their relevance for teacher education. It describes how cMOOCs are based on connectivist learning theory and involve participation in a networked conversation. Examples of early cMOOCs are provided. It is argued that teacher educators should examine new learning models, provide digital age experiences for future teachers, and participate in cMOOCs themselves in order to prepare educators for 21st century education.
- The document discusses two types of MOOCs: connectivist MOOCs (c-MOOCs) and other MOOCs (x-MOOCs). C-MOOCs emerged in 2008 based on connectivist pedagogy and focused on networking, knowledge construction, and collaboration. X-MOOCs later emerged from elite universities focusing more on content delivery and assessment. The document provides details on early c-MOOCs and the differences between the two approaches.
Presentation given to members of the School of Law in Northumbria U, explaining some of my work over the last decade. Accompanied by demonstrations of webcasts, podcasts largely. Simulation etc will be for another occasion.
Distributed learning at the university of saskatchewanCOHERE2012
The document discusses distributed learning at the University of Saskatchewan and strategies for the future. It notes some barriers to adopting blended learning like faculty reluctance and a lack of strategic direction. However, it also highlights strengths like existing online infrastructure and initiatives. Successful examples of blended learning at the U of S include the nursing undergraduate degree program delivered across multiple sites and the School of Physical Therapy's use of ePortfolios. The document calls for developing a university-wide strategy for distributed learning to encourage greater adoption of blended approaches and expand access to education.
Key issues in the 21st Century Future of Education; Pedagogy, Heutagogy, Technology, Social Media, New Learning Infrastructures based on Digital Learning Architectures of Participation We will need teacher as Digital Practitioners and Technology Stewards
This document contains the notes from a presentation by Sheryl Nussbaum-Beach on learning and leading in the digital age. Some of the key points discussed include:
- The world is changing rapidly with the rise of mobile technology, online connectivity, and an "Internet of Things."
- Schools need to transform, not just reform, to prepare students for this new context and the future ahead of them.
- Connected learning through online networks, collaboration, and sharing knowledge can accelerate learning when integrated into classrooms.
- Educators must adapt and redefine themselves or risk becoming irrelevant in the 21st century.
Training the Trainers: Faculty Development Meets Information LiteracyElisa Acosta
This document summarizes a workshop for training faculty on information literacy. The workshop covered defining information literacy, barriers to teaching it, strategies for collaboration between librarians and faculty, and a "train the trainer" approach. Activities demonstrated how to incorporate information literacy learning outcomes, design assignments, do curriculum mapping, and assess student work. The goal was to equip faculty to teach information literacy in their courses and address time constraints faced by librarians.

1. The document discusses the digital turn in higher education, focusing on how digital technologies can enable pedagogical, curricular and organizational innovation rather than just "technofying" education.
2. It argues that successful digitalization of teaching and learning relies on collaboration and that digital technologies change both virtual and physical learning spaces.
3. The document raises several unsolved challenges around issues like openness, blending digital and non-digital approaches, and how the digital turn will impact the future of higher education.
The document discusses bridging the gap between e-learning policy and practice. It provides a reflective review of the history of e-learning and lessons learned. Emerging themes are discussed like how technologies are converging with modern pedagogies. A framework is presented for ensuring policy is effectively implemented in practice. Case studies are examined and questions are posed about how to account for technological advances and changing user needs in e-learning policy going forward.
The document provides an overview of ePortfolios and how they can be used for academic advising. It discusses how ePortfolios can help address the skills gap by providing evidence of soft skills attainment. EPortfolios allow students to collect artifacts from both formal and informal learning experiences and provide tools for reflection and linking skills to frameworks. The document also discusses how ePortfolios can be used to recognize prior learning and facilitate credit transfer. Implementing ePortfolios requires addressing challenges such as interoperability and student ownership after graduation.
The document discusses personalization in technology-enhanced learning and the changing educational context. It notes that personalization refers to endowing something with individual qualities or characteristics to meet individual needs. Emerging technologies are enabling more personalized, mobile, and socially connected learning environments. The document outlines seven dimensions of personalized learning and provides examples of how new pedagogical models are needed to combine the affordances of personalization and technologies.

Abstract: The Framework for Information Literacy for Higher Education represents a shift in our collective approach to instruction by inviting practitioners to deeply engage the complex concepts that underpin the abilities and dispositions that develop learners’ information literacy. This presentation will map this shift by highlighting concrete approaches for and offering examples of using the Framework in instructional practice.
E-learning and Open Educational Resources - primer for librariesFrederik Questier
This document provides an overview of e-learning and open educational resources (OER) for libraries. It discusses how e-learning and OER can be useful for libraries and how libraries can help their organizations with e-learning and OER needs. It also covers challenges with textbooks costs, evolving models of e-learning, the role of standards in interoperability, and recommendations for libraries to promote openness through infrastructure, repositories, and integrating library resources with virtual learning environments.
Presentation from Dr Stylianos Hatzipanagos (Senior Lecturer in Technology Enhanced Learning, King’s College London) on the use of OERs in distance education.
Conducted at the CDE's Research and Innovation in Distance Education and eLearning conference on 19 October 2012.
Dr Wolfgang Greller is an associate professor and researcher who focuses on e-learning, learning sciences, and technologies. His research center, CELSTEC, examines topics like learning and cognition using technology-enhanced learning. Greller discusses how e-learning has shifted from a centralized, instructor-led model to a more decentralized, learner-focused model utilizing personal learning environments and open networks. He also addresses challenges with the evolution of e-learning and emerging areas like adaptive learning, mobile learning, learning analytics, language technologies, and open practices.
The document discusses information and digital literacy research and practice at the London School of Economics (LSE). It provides an overview of information literacy programs, courses, and research projects at LSE including embedding information literacy into undergraduate courses, a digital literacy course for staff and PhD students, and a JISC-funded project to develop open educational resources for information literacy. It also summarizes the speaker's background in information literacy and an Arcadia Fellowship project to develop a new undergraduate information literacy curriculum.
This presentation explains the use of e-portfolios as a learning and assessment tool. Further it provides the opportunities for career progression and change based on evidence of achievements through lifelong learning.
This document discusses open educational resources (OER) and their role in instruction. It provides an overview of how OER can promote equitable access and increase student retention. Various uses of OER are described, including integrating learning objects into courses, designing online courses and MOOCs, and creating basic informational resources. The document emphasizes the importance of evaluating OER content and format for different purposes. It also addresses how to obtain support and infrastructure for OER through buy-in from stakeholders, outreach, and demonstrating positive student outcomes from OER use.
This is the PowerPoint slides from a workshop I did to the Higher Education User Group conference on the Gold Coast in early November 2014.
There is a further Word document associated with this PowerPoint which is an agenda for a bi-weekly content / knowledge review meeting.
This document summarizes a research project examining how digital teaching and learning resources can be utilized, developed, and shared in Irish higher education. The project involved researchers from multiple Irish universities and colleges. It utilized surveys of academic staff and focus groups to understand current practices and barriers related to open educational resources (OERs). Key findings included low awareness of OERs, copyright concerns inhibiting sharing, and questions around how OERs could be managed and peer-reviewed within existing institutional repositories. The researchers concluded that significant cultural and policy changes would be needed to fully integrate OERs while addressing issues of quality, sustainability and recognition.
Gráinne Conole presented a holistic, student-centered approach to learning design using new technologies. She discussed how technologies are changing the learning landscape and learner expectations. Conole proposed learning design as a conceptual framework and tools like CompendiumLD and Cloudworks to help educators design for learning and share ideas. Her vision emphasizes flexible, experiential learning that blurs boundaries between formal and informal learning through open educational resources and new digital spaces.
This document discusses various tools and strategies for library instruction. It begins by defining library instruction and noting that it can take many forms such as orientations, literacy programs, research planning assistance, and more. It then discusses how instruction can be tailored for different communities from young children to professionals. Various instruction methods are outlined such as explaining library organization, finding resources, and research techniques. The document also discusses online tutorials, embedded librarians, and subject guides as instruction tools. It emphasizes the importance of collaboration between libraries and other groups.
The document discusses how social networks and electronic portfolios are blurring boundaries as technologies evolve. It notes that ePortfolios began as digital collections of student work but now resemble social networks through features like blogging, wikis, and multimedia sharing. The emergence of social networks has impacted ePortfolio development by incorporating factors that drive social network engagement, like accessibility, interactivity, and opportunities for networking, into ePortfolio design and use.

5. OLA Super Conference 2005 OUTLINE Academic library is besieged A dead-end debate A new place for libraries? A strategy for the future
6. OLA Super Conference 2005 CHALLENGES:What Kind of Future? Do Libraries really need books? Internet Fiscal Crisis Everything's On the Web!
7. OLA Super Conference 2005 Tools for: Information access (Google); multi- media capabilities; e-mail; learning; simulations; online collaboration; weblogs; collaboration Linking self-directed learning: the students are way ahead of the educators Candy, Linking Learning (DEST 2004) Connectivism (learning theory) George Siemens: <http://www.itdl.org/Journal/Jan_05/article01.htm> The Technological Alternative
8. OLA Super Conference 2005 The Digital Library A substantial collection of information resources that are digitized, organized, and made accessible through computer-online technologies Much more powerful than traditional libraries (search engines over indexes); Can be searched for a phrase accessed globally copied without error. (Academic) libraries will evolve into all-digital collections accessible from anywhere University Business (Jan 2005): 46.
9. OLA Super Conference 2005 The Library as PlaceSymposium (Nov. 5, 2003) “Be it resolved: within ten years academic … libraries will have outlived their need for physical space”
10. OLA Super Conference 2005 ALTERNATIVE MODELS CURRENTLY IN PLAY INSTRUCTIONALTECHNOLOGY-WEB Educational system; Fashionable, open, self legacy generating STRENGTH CONTROL Curriculum & politics Commercial-entrepreneurial Disciplines, tradition Expense; access; technical expertise; unstable LIMITATION PROBLEM Link to learning is Vendor-centered; fragmented; assumed lack of standards THEORY Representational, Constructivist; connectivist information transfer LIBRARY Support (reference Digital Library ROLES and instruction) (increasingly virtual) FORMAT Print - media Digital (some print) PLACE? Place Space
11. OLA Super Conference 2005 “Either or” vs. “Both and” The PRINT VS. DIGITAL dichotomy and debate raises real possibilities of library marginalization. Is there an alternative? Let’s look at fundamental purposes in quest of an alternative role for libraries that we can promote intellectually, realistically, and “politically”
12. OLA Super Conference 2005 Let’s Reframe The Argument In deeper purpose the basic values of preservation of and access to information is to enable learning and research We traditionally have pursued that purpose by supporting the curriculum, the teaching of the faculty and student learning.
13. OLA Super Conference 2005 The Current Transformation The transformation of the education enterprise from a reliance on teaching to a focus on learningopens a window of opportunity for academic libraries
14. OLA Super Conference 2005 Getting Beyond Instruction Authority figure Passive learning Faculty-focused Discipline-determined Context-free Grades as purpose
15. OLA Super Conference 2005 Information Processing and TRANSFER Paradigm: Assumptions COGNITION: Mind works like a computer COMMUNICATIONas signal INSTRUCTION as method CONTENT TRANSFER as purpose INFORMATION ACCUMULATIONas goal; more is better (i.e. more intelligence)
16. OLA Super Conference 2005 Anomalies in the IP Paradigm(select) Information Knowledge Inappropriate identification of mental and computer logic (consider the role of emotion in human logic) Information today is dynamic, co-created; not linear; a process (not a ‘thing”) - Marcum, “Rethinking Information Literacy” (2002)
17. OLA Super Conference 2005 Knowledge & intelligence yes; But Learning? Accumulated information (knowledge and IQ) matters, but how the individual uses their abilities is even more important, and we don’t know very much about that. We know little about changes in knowledge, interest and strategic ability that students should manifest … From Ackerman, Learning and Individual Differences (APA, 1999).
18. OLA Super Conference 2005 That Black box! Recipe Pour in information … (3 X per week @ 50 min.) and more information (read a textbook) Let marinate, bake Taste / test: is it done? (lasts a lifetime and appropriate for any occasion) Magic Knowledge
19. OLA Super Conference 2005 Looking into Learning Participative Constructive Student-oriented Socially constructed Contextual Professors as facilitators
20. OLA Super Conference 2005 Student Characteristics:A Different Generation Technologically savvy Diverse; different learning styles Visually engaged Comfortable with multitasking Learn by doing Consider technology indispensable Find many courses “irrelevant” and out of date Tapscott, Growing Up Digital (1998).
21. OLA Super Conference 2005 LEARNING ... Not an (assumed) byproduct of instruction and information processing and transfer ... but the heart and purpose of the enterprise
22. OLA Super Conference 2005 Learning: definition Learning is engagement that changes perception, belief, or behavior
23. OLA Super Conference 2005 Components of Learning CONTENTPROCESSKnowledge Lecture - breadth Reading - depth Writing Data Discussion Disciplines Activity Traditional focus: 1st Content. 2nd: Process.
24. OLA Super Conference 2005 Broader View of Learning CONTENTTRAITSPROCESSESKnowledge Self concept Lecture - breadth Interests Reading - depth Personality Writing Data Learning StyleDiscussion Disciplines Emotions Activity Abilities P. Ackerman, “Traits and Knowledge,” in Learning and Individual Differences (APA, 1999) R. Sternberg, Triarchic Mind (Viking 1988)
26. OLA Super Conference 2005 Dynamic Learning Engaged and reflective participation in a life-discovery process that builds new knowledge and enhances (changes) the skills and competence appropriate to the given personal, social, and technical context of importance to the learner. - Marcum, After the Information Age.
27. OLA Super Conference 2005 “Education” cannot do it… Education is locked into the information-transfer paradigm “Cover the content” Disciplinary / epistemic cultures Taught the way it was “learned” And it is politicized and centralized Requiring accountable “efficiency” Needing experimentation and adaptation
28. OLA Super Conference 2005 Can the Library do it? Resource - based learning Beyond information centres to centres of learning Beyond information literacy to multiple literacies to competence Accelerate learning With collaborative/dynamic learning environments Creating spaces for discovery and knowledge creation Decentralized and more “contextualizable”
29. OLA Super Conference 2005 RECONFIGURING THE LIBRARY: From Information / Resource Center Information: collection, access, and preservation (“just in case”) Support for instruction Faculty-focused Technology for information access “just in time”
30. OLA Super Conference 2005 RECONFIGURING THE LIBRARY: To Learner-focused Multi-media collections Technologies of access & collaboration Competence building Research & discovery Information Center Information: collection, access, and preservation (“just in case”) Support for Instruction Faculty-focused Technology for Access
31. OLA Super Conference 2005 Not the whole banana…. K-12 K-20 But “intervene” at that point of moving beyond information transfer to competence building
32. OLA Super Conference 2005 A Lesson from Business Training FINDING: Formal learning methods have a negative or inverse relationship to competence Ted Cocheu, Altus Learning Systems, 11/17/04 “Optimizing Formal and Informal Learning Methods to Achieve Highest ROI”
33. OLA Super Conference 2005 HighestRoK “The Line” Return on “Learning”Investment Formal Learning Methods InformalLearning Methods High Point of DiminishingReturns on Formal Point of IncreasingReturns on Informal Value to Learners andReturn on Knowledge Learning Maturity Competence Low High
34. OLA Super Conference 2005 Why Negative Relationship? Less competent workers / learners benefit most from formal or structured learning methods They lack basic skills and cognitive background needed to assimilate new knowledge. Learning goal: baseline understanding. More competent workers / learners benefit most from informal learning methods They have the foundation skills and cognitive framework needed to assimilate new knowledge. Learning goal: update and build on their expertise as things change.
36. OLA Super Conference 2005 Library as Learning Environment? The Challenge NOT a teaching environment Can we create an environment where the learner, when they choose to engage, can understand their own learning styles, know their competencies, and experiment with various methods technologies, and strategies of learning in order to better engage their learning abilities?
37. OLA Super Conference 2005 Parameter I: Information, Knowledge, and Learning are Social … and Contextual Useful information today is as muchsocial(co-created; set in rich networks) as it is tangible, a commodity… consequently, the requisite skill iscollaborationwithin asocial context Brown & Duguid, Social Life of Information Informal learning is more prominent and common than generally acknowledged Diversity enhances creative problem solving Learningcommunitiesare ideal environment Lave and Wenger, Situated Learning (1991)
38. OLA Super Conference 2005 Parameter II: Bridging the School-“Real World” Divide It is a challenging workplace in which our university graduates must somehow manage with heightened accountability, weakened authority, and more teamwork to get the job done. - Evers, Bases of Competence, xi Information Literacy / Workplace competence Both personal and social skills Technological, functional in specific work Social engagement, context Experience in practice (not just theory) Hull, Changing Work, Changing Workers (SUNY, 1997)
39. OLA Super Conference 2005 Parameter III: A Visual Ecology / Telematic Embrace We live in a visual ecology, a comprehensive and continuous participatory event, a universe of action, and a world of knowledge and learning rather than information transfer - Marcum, “Beyond Visual Culture” portal (2002) An interactive network of individuals and institutions linking minds and knowledge into interactive systems of intelligence, perceptions, and authentic behavioral contexts and encounters - Ascott, Telematic Embrace (U. Cal., 2003)
40. OLA Super Conference 2005 Parameter IV:Discovery Learning To break free of known facts (dogma) requires: Allowing for initiative and self-direction Encouraging work in teams Questioning authority Using constructivist, problem-solving pedagogies Considering alternative examples, scenarios Marcum, “From Information Center to Discovery System”
41. OLA Super Conference 2005 Social + Situated + Visual + Discovery =Cyber-Competence (?) The technology-based interactive skills and practices required to find and utilize information in multiple formats and varied contexts to solve problems foster knowledge discovery and creation, encourage knowledge sharing, and enhance organizational effectiveness for a competitive global and networked environment. - Marcum, After the Information Age: A Dynamic Learning Manifesto
