+Pedagogy 2.0?Is there such a thing & if so what does it mean?

A growing rhetoric around web 2.0 technologies and associated practices

Findings from leaner experience/net generation research about today’s students: their use and perceptions of technologies; theirs changing learning patterns

A shift in pedagogy from individual – social; information – experiential; general to contextual

Wider changes in societal norms and practices

+Hidden conundrum

Open Educational Resources

Little evidence of reuse

New technologies offer new pedagogical opportunities

Potential for reuse with Open Educational Resources

Liberating learning beyond formal structures

Array of technologies

Not fully exploited

New pedagogies New learning models

“Open Design”

Characteristics of good pedagogy

Affordances of new technologies

Bridging the gap

+Redefining “openness”

Open source, open tools and services, Open Educational Resources

Free, shared, collaborative, cumulatively better..

“Open Design”

+Open Design Design for a “learning event” i.e. a learning

activity Formal course Individual learning activity Informal study group activity

Blurring of boundaries Teacher – Learner Formal – informal Real – virtual

Can we develop new innovative mediating artifacts?How can we make the design more explicit and sharable?

+Conclusion

Mismatch between potential of technologies and actual use is one of the key challenges of e-learning research

Need to combine collective wisdom

Vision is to develop an evolving suite of tools, resources, methods, and approaches to facilitate teachers and learners coupled with a vibrant community discussing learning and teaching ideas and designs
