18. McLuhan （麦克卢汉） • 他这样描述媒介对人体的延伸的三个阶段：“在机械化时代，我们实现了自身在空间中的延伸。如今，在经历了一个多世纪的电子技术的发展之后，我们已在全球范围延伸了我们的中枢神经系统，在我们的星球范围取消了时空。目前我们正在很快地接近人的延伸的最后阶段——意识的技术模拟阶段，在这个阶段，知识的创造性过程将被集体地、共同地延伸至整个人类社会，如同我们已通过各种媒介延伸了我们的感官和神经一样。”⑴尽管当时麦克卢汉尚不可能对后来迅速崛起的互动型媒介，作出清楚的描述，但是他还是扮演了预言家的角色，虽不无模糊但却大胆地对信息传播新技术革命将使知识、信息成为生产力发展的主要资源的趋势，作出了预言。

19. Narcissus as Narcosis • 4. The Gadget Lover: Narcissus as Narcosis • The Greek myth of Narcissus is directly concerned with a fact of human experience, as the word Narcissus indicates. It is from the Greek word narcosis, or numbness. The youth Narcissus mistook his own reflection in the water for another person. This extension of himself by mirror numbed his perceptions until he became the servomechanism of his own extended or repeated image. The nymph Echo tried to win his love with fragments of his own speech, but in vain. He was numb. He had adapted to his extension of himself and had become a closed system.

20. -- continue： • Now the point of this myth is the fact that men at once become fascinated by any extension of themselves in any material other than themselves. There have been cynics who insisted that men fall deepest in love with women who give them back their own image. Be that as it may, the wisdom of the Narcissus myth does not convey any idea that Narcissus fell in love with anything he regarded as himself. Obviously he would have had very different feelings about the image had he known it was an extension or repetition of himself. It is, perhaps, indicative of the bias of our intensely technological and, therefore, narcotic culture that we have long interpreted the Narcissus story to mean that he fell in love with himself, that he imagined the reflection to be Narcissus!

21. Numbness / comfort • Mirror image / reflection of oneself / extension • Women / mirror / medium / message / massage / comfort / numbness • Self- amputation • What you love is sth you imagine: empathize

22. Self – amputation (自我截肢)

23. Physiologically there are abundant reasons for an extension of ourselves involving us in a state of numbness.

24. 他还说，“时间（……）和空间（……）在瞬时信息时代双双都化为乌有。在瞬时信息时代人类结束了其分门别类的专业化工作并承担起收集信息的角色。今天，收集信息重新占据包罗万象的‘文化’概念，完完全全如同原始的食物采集者在同整个环境完全平衡的状态下工作一样。我们在这一新的游牧和‘无工作’世界中的追求目标，就是知识和对于生活及社会的创造性过程的洞察。”⑶这些论述可说含有对人类目前正在步入的知识经济时代的轮廓性的勾画。麦克卢汉的深刻洞察力和预言能力，不能不令人赞叹。

31. There is a common thread in the development of our understanding of learning - the learner as active agent in the learning process - the learner as active agent in the learning process John Dewey Jean Piaget Lev Vygotsky Jerome Bruner Paulo Freire Gordon Pask Terry Winograd Seymour Papert Lauren Resnick John Seely Brown Ference Marton John Biggs Jean Lave Inquiry-based education Constructivism Mediated learning Discovery learning Learning as problematization Learning as conversation Problem-based learning Reflective practice Metacognition Experiential learning Learner-oriented approach Social constructivism Situated learning 1890 . . 1940 . . 1960 . . 1980 . . 2000 . . share a common conception of the learning process

32. What countsas active learning? Inquiry-based education Constructivism Mediated learning Discovery learning Learning as problematization Learning as conversation Problem-based learning Reflective practice Metacognition Experiential learning Learner-oriented approach Social constructivism Situated learning Learners need to engage in goal-oriented tasks practise skills explore and experiment use feedback to adapt what they do discuss what they do reflect on what happens articulate what happens

33. What must the learner do to learn X? The activities of the traditional learner – listen read imitate memorise rehearse recall important, but not active learning The activities of the active learner – decide on actions needed to achieve a given goal reflect on the feedback on their actions adapt their actions on the basis of reflection experiment to achieve a goal discuss what they are doing articulate their understanding of what is happening the complete learning cycle

37. All these examples could be turned into learning activity design tools for teachers There is a parallel with traditional lesson plans – which are essentially learning activity design tools And with traditional learning resources – which are essentially like ‘learning objects’ or ‘digital assets’

41. Findings from initial pilots Stimulates reflection on pedagogy Supports activity-based learning more easily than face-to-face Promotes collaborative learning Scaffolds the development of autonomous learning Gives learners an insight into real learning – ‘no right answers’ Fosters collaboration between staff Gives staff a sense of ownership

42. Can the next generation of e-learning products empower teachers to be creative and innovative in their approach to the pedagogies of active learning? Our strategy is to promote: • E-learning activity design wizards for teachers • Shareable e-learning tools and resources • Networks of subject-based e-learning practitioners • Professional associations supporting new pedagogies • Action research for reflective practice in teaching & learning • Collaboration between teachers, suppliers and government

43. Overall, what does it take to create the step change to meet our objectives? To support We need Citizens Learners Learning Teachers Leaders Cross-sector information, advice and guidance on education Shared ICT systems that recognise their information, data and personal resources High quality interactive, collaborative learning resources that adapt to their needs E-learning development, shareable resources, easy learning design tools A leadership package with self assessment tools, advice and guidance Cross-sector information, advice and guidance on education Shared ICT systems that recognise their information, data and personal resources High quality interactive, collaborative learning resources that adapt to their needs E-learning development, shareable resources, easy learning design tools A leadership package with self assessment tools, advice and guidance Underpinned by universal, robust, interoperable ICT systems
