  2. Alphabet of Learning • b-learning, blended • e-learning, electronic • m-learning, mobile • u-learning, ubiquitous

  3. Change in Pedagogy • learning styles of the ‘net generation’ • implications of convergence of technologies • formal vs. informal learning • collective intelligence, collaborative learning • virtual worlds and ‘serious games’

  4. Shift in teaching • Facilitate independent learning • Integrate learning tools into instruction • Synthesize and communicate concepts • Teach students to gather information • Demonstrate “best technology practices” • Collaborate in knowledge networks

  5. Pedagogy and technology integration S social cultural interactive distributed situated ICT Web2 knowledge construction CoP scaffolded

  6. Learning is social and interactive S social cultural interactive distributed situated ICT Web2 knowledge construction CoP scaffolded

  7. Social Constructivism • Cultural mediation (Vygotsky) “Any higher mental function was social at some point before becoming truly mental” • Social presence (Short et al.) “The degree to which people feel connected to each other......” • Interaction (Moore, Muirhead) “...between learners, learner-teacher, learner-content, learner-interface...”

  10. Situated Learning “Situated cognition has emerged as a powerful perspective in providing meaningful learning and promoting the transfer of knowledge to real-life situations.” Choi & Hannafin

  12. Communities of Learning • CSCL-Computer-supported communities of learning • Networked CoP (communities of practice) • Scaffolding

  13. Dimensions of Learning S social cultural interactive distributed situated ICT Web2.0 knowledge construction CoP scaffolded

  14. Pedagogy and Web 2.0 • Collective intelligence • User generated software • Social construction • Reflective environment for conscious thought

  15. Why ICT’s? • Student centered learning pedagogies • Informal learning • External influences • Technology in the workplace

  16. Web2.0 Environments • Open Source software (OSS)... • Knowledge construction...Tappedin • User generated content...Wikis • Reflection of conscious thought...Blogs • Student centered learning...Podcasts • Virtual learning spaces... 2nd Life

  17. Educational Potential • E-mail (communication) • Blogs (dynamic communication, recent info) • Moodle(socially constructed knowledge) • Blackboard (discussion, assignments) • Wikis (collaboration, feedback, assessment)

  18. Most popular • MySpace (connect with others, blog, music) • Facebook (social utility) • You Tube (video sharing) • Second Life (3 D learning environment)
