The document discusses blended learning and personal learning environments. It defines blended learning as combining different delivery modes, teaching models, technologies, and learning styles. It also discusses the concepts of managed learning environments, ecological constructivist learning environments, and personal learning environments (PLEs). PLEs allow for knowledge construction through authentic contexts, collaboration, and a focus on designing learning environments that balance these three components.

2. Roadmap for my presentation E-learning and pedagogical innovation What is blended learning? Managerialism in b-learning Ecological: constructivist learning environments Personal Learning Environments ePortfolio concept

3. E-learning and pedagogical innovation Postmodern times: no „grand theories“ of education, many small ones have little impact on pedagogical behavior of teachers E-learning as an engine (and $) of pedagogical innovation (or: academic development) Genealogy of e-learning: CBT + DE Technology-driven reality: most of the e-courses use ineffective, outdated didactical strategies (text+test)

4. Blended learning: the next big thing? E-learning is dead! (Teemu Leinonen) - is Blended Learning the next beig thing? What are we blending: delivery modes, models of teaching, technologies and styles of learning University staff does not recognize that they are already using blended learning Blended learning concept is more spread within commercial training, universities lag behind New components in blender: Web 2.0, PLE

6. Managerialism in blended learning E-learning = the use of Learning Management Systems (LMS) Constructivist learning with Managed Learning Environments?

7. Ecological approach: constructivist learning environments D.H. Jonassen: 21st century’s teachers need instead of 3R (Reading, wRiting, aRithmetics) the skills of designing learning environments that balance 3 C-s: Authentic Context for learning Knowledge Construction Collaboration Mart Laanpere, Tallinn University, http://www.htk.tlu.ee/iva

Jonassen’s 3C model Context Collaboration Construction KNOWLEDGE Modeling process Authentic tasks Apprenticeship Situated learning Case-based problems Multiple perspectives Indexed meanings Coaching Social negotiation of meaning Articulation Reflection Mental models Intentions, expectations Internal negotiation Domain-specific reasoning Invention, exploration
