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?

BYOD4Learning is a truly open course, or an ‘open magical box’ for those who don’t like the term ‘course’ very much,
for students and teachers who would like to develop their understanding,
knowledge and skills linked to using smart devices for learning and teaching
and use these more effectively, inclusively and creatively.
Nothing is locked away or private and you won’t even need to register.

What did I learn from
the BYOD4L experience?
We are ALL Learners
Lifewide and Lifelong LearnersTowards a Lifewide Curriculum
'An experience that incorporates formal education as one component of a much richer set of experiences that embrace all the forms of learning and
achievement that are necessary to sustain a meaningful life.'(Professor Norman Jackson 2013)

In this short talk I will share the outcomes of an exciting free open short course myself Sue Beckingham and Chrissi Nerantzi developed called BYOD4Learning. Volunteer facilitators joined us and together with participants who were both educators and students, we learnt and reflected upon how using our own portable devices we could connect, communicate, curate, collaborate and create to enhance the learning experience.
