“The current learning landscape is constantly changing in terms of what is learned, the context in which learning takes place, and who is learning.”(Paas, 2011, p. 2) !

! The following aspects impact on the learner or his/her learning:!!

o Evolving needs of learners!o Developing knowledge building environments!o Focusing on personalisation!o Evolving spaces for learning!o Evolving learning devices or hardware!o Evolving pedagogy!

Evolving Learning Landscape"

Current thinking about 21st century skills, and the learning experiences that support their development, are essential starting points for capacity building. A list of the workforce skills presented by Davies, et al (2011, pp. 8-12) include:"

•  Sense-making •  Social intelligence •  Novel and adaptive thinking •  Cross-cultural competency •  Computational thinking

•  New-media literacy •  Transdisciplinarity •  Design mindset •  Cognitive load management •  Virtual collaboration

Sustainable learning involves a pedagogic fusion between environments, tools, formats and meta-literacy capabilities.

“Skills have become the global currency of 21st-century economies” (OECD, 2012, p. 10). In this context, skills are defined as the combination of knowledge, attributes and competencies that can be learned and that allow an individual to successfully perform a task.

These skills can be built upon through continuous

learning.The sum of the skills available to any given economy forms the human capital of the country.”

The evidence is that technologies and social media platforms are driving an unprecedented re-organisation of the learning environment.!

The urgent dimensions of learning!

“The mechanisms for engaging with information and processes of learning in the acquisition of new knowledge has become a deeper process of individual and collaborative learning activities, problem solving and artefact development, occurring through an integration of face-to-face and online interactions within a community, involving absorption, integration and systemisation of the information received by the receiver in their own pre-existing cognitive structure, which are the result of personal experience, and earlier knowledge transactions”.

Think smarter. Be new. !Be creative!

Untethered = Empowered!

Our students, voracious social media users, may be hiding some of their story, faking perfection through their

perfect-only final product. But, there is no “faking out” innovative educators – their teachers. Teachers know that

the process of getting there is less than a perfect road and where the learning happens. The imperfect road

becomes the strength of the lesson. !Edudemic http://www.edudemic.com/hiding-in-plain-sight/!

Our digital information ecology is a remix of different forms of technology, devices, data

repositories, information retrieval, information sharing, networks and

communication. New technological tools are expanding — and fundamentally altering —

the ways we can interact with each other and the world. !

Microlearning: hungry for knowledge nuggets!

Microlearning ticks all the teaching boxes: bite-sized nuggets of content are easy to digest, understand and remember. Often mobile-friendly, visual and sharable, the short bursts of information leave you sufficiently satisfied and likely to come back for more.!

At the BI Norwegian School of Business, through a number of pilot programmes, they have been adapting fragmented content to mobile devices, finding that the right mix of mobile learning makes courses more engaging and also helps part-time students stay up-to-date.!

Gather

Explore

Cultivating scholarly inquisitive mindsets!

More content, streams of data, topic structures, (theoretically) better quality - all of these in

online environments require an equivalent shift in our online capabilities.

.... because your knowledge and my knowledge,

based on what search results we are served, may be

very different from each other.

the essence of life in the United Kingdom. Over a million people contributed to this digital snapshot of the country. !
