New Learning Environments in the 21st Century Exploring the Edge

21st Century Learning Environments

“We have moved from lecture halls to homes, cars, and ipods

offering anytime, anywhere delivery while

increasing interaction as well”

John Seely Brown, 2007

How is 21st Century Learning Different?

“The concept of lifelong learning—a term used all too glibly—is now more

important than ever."• Skills learned today are apt to be out-of-date all

too soon. – Lifelong, passion-based learning enabled by the Net– Students intrinsically motivated by being a member

of a community of practice.– Informal learning not conducted in a structured

formal setting– Interplay exists between the cognitive and social

bases of learning– “Learning to be” rather than “learning about” or

“building up stocks of knowledge.”

John Seely Brown and Richard P. Adler (2008)

Open Educational Resources (OER)

• New culture of sharing• Content is freely contributed and

distributed with few restrictions or costs.

• Open Source – Mozilla, Open Office, Moodle

• MIT’s OpenCourseWare (OCW) initiative– open access to undergraduate- and

graduate-level materials and modules – more than 1,700 courses in virtually all

disciplines.

Minds on Fire: Learning 2.0

• Social learning is the greatest impact of the internet and the full impact has not yet been realized.

• Content is socially constructed through conversations about that content and through grounded interactions, especially with others, around problems or actions.

• Informal learning is taking place both on and off campus via the online social networks.

• Social life of Internet-based virtual education can coexist with and extend traditional education.

Web 2.0• Blurs the line between producers and

consumers of content • Shifts attention from access to

information toward access to other people.

• Participatory medium ideal for supporting multiple modes of learning

• New kinds of online resources— such as social networking sites, blogs, wikis, and virtual communities allow people with common interests to meet, share ideas, and collaborate in innovative ways.

Brown & Adler (2008)

Learning Communities• Build a community of students and

scholars as well as provide access to educational content.

• Provide students with access to rich (sometimes virtual) learning communities built around a practice.

• These communities are a part of a new form of technology-enhanced learning— Learning 2.0
