  4. We’re having to rethink the methods we use

  5. Rethinking methods CONNECTIVISM

  6. Rethinking methods “Instead of the individual having to evaluate and process every bit of information, she/he creates a personal network of trusted nodes: people and content, enhanced by technology. The act of knowledge is offloaded onto the network itself.” George Siemens, Knowing Knowledge

  7. Rethinking methods NEUROSCIENCE

  8. Rethinking methods learning styles? neuro-linguisticprogramming? Maslow’s hierarchyof needs?

  9. Rethinking methods Gen Y: digital, social and always-on

  10. Rethinking methods Two ways of looking at Gen Y “Gen Y are tolerant, optimistic, collaborative,open-minded and driven.” suite101.com “Gen Y are the 'diva' generation: high-maintenance, out for themselves, lacking in loyalty, thinking only of the short termand their own place in it..” Association of Graduate Recruiters

  11. Rethinking methods How Gen Y want learning to be: Interactive Student-centred Authentic Collaborative On-demand don’t we all? Barking Robot, 2006

  12. Rethinking methods But in the end, we need todo the right thing, not pamperto Gen Y or anyone else

  13. Blended learning is the bridge non-formal formal informal

  15. Mapping strategies to social contexts

  23. Pressures for change ENVIRONMENTAL PRESSURES

  24. We can’t meet these pressures just by changing methods • We choose methods to maximise the effectiveness of learning • We choose media to maximise the efficiency of learning • And the new pressures (time, environmental, budgetary) require, above all, greater efficiencies but luckily …

  25. Learning media are evolving rapidly on-job FACE-TO-FACE classroom tapes books workbooks OFFLINE DVDs CDs web pages downloadable documents streaming media podcasts/vodcasts email Twitter instant messaging chat rooms forums ONLINE social networks blogs web conferencing wikis SMS teleconferencing telephone TELEPHONIC

  41. We need to set about closing the gaping new media skills gap CONTENT CREATION SKILLS STRATEGIC SKILLS FACILITATION SKILLS CURRICULUM DESIGN SKILLS

  42. So what’s the gap? Barriers to the successful implementation of new learning technologies (2009): lack of knowledge about its potential use and implementation (>65%) lack of skills to implement and manage e-learning (>50%)

  43. A time for action … “When the rate of change outside exceeds the rate of change inside, the end is in sight.” Jack Welch

  44. … not rearranging the deckchairs
