Applying heutagogy in online education: Designing for self-determined learning

Heutagogy

Heutagogy

is the study of self-determined learning and applies a holistic

approach to developing learner capabilities with the learner serving as the major agent in

their own learning, which occurs, as a result of personal

experience.

Moving the Discussion Forward

• Where are there opportunities for using heutagogy (self-determined learning) in open and online learning environments?

• What can we as educators do to guide our students to becoming more self-determined learners?
