WikiQuals - Open Learning Lab
This document summarizes Fred Garnett's presentation about WikiQuals, an open accreditation model for self-directed learning. Some key points: - WikiQuals allows learners to pursue projects in the real world and document their learning to gain accreditation in a transparent, post-hoc manner without traditional institutions. - It is based on emergent and heutagogical learning principles rather than pedagogical models, and sees learning as a social, content creation process not defined by classrooms or textbooks. - WikiQuals operates through affinity groups rather than traditional supervision, and aims to support entrepreneurial learners in building their own personal learning networks. - It

Earlier meta-technologies had evolved into new analogue networks; rail, road, air, telephone, radio with their own system „mission‟ Digital technologies however can also replace earlier analogue technologies, and enable technological convergence. Convergence is far more socially transformational as it can disrupt existing economic patterns built around old analogue technologies Intel 4004; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_4004 Convergence;

We need to design for emergence and create tools to support that in a wiki-based collaborative world Emergent Learning Model rethinks learning as i. Social Processes not classrooms ii.

It is a platform for learning that; a) leverages content abundance, b) allows learner-generated contexts & purpose c) enables emergent & innovative learning behaviours d) Supports entrepreneurial behaviour As WikiSqolarsa build their own Personal Learning Networks by reflecting on their learning from engaging in projects in the real world to realise their personal vision
