global trends

• authentic and contextualised learning

• self-organised, self-directed

• learning in partnership

• flexible pedagogies

• lifelong and lifewide learning

• connected, collaborative, open

• recognising finally the positive impact of human interaction for learning

What did we want to explore...

Can we create an open learning ecology that enables learners to learn with and from each other in a supportive environment using authentic and inquiry-based pedagogical models?

How can we support open learners effectively to create the foundations of a vibrant learning community?

• offer BYOD4 in other ways – (cross-) institutional groups, led by students, blended approaches etc.

• Smart Learning Book project

• Smart Learning event at MMU (14 April 2014)

the journey continues...
