Emergent Learning Model (ELM)
What is ELM?
Rethinking the relationship between informal and formal learning in a changing, networked, learning world
ELM is framed in terms of i2020, a post Bologna Process reframing of the relationship between Informal, Non-formal, Formal Learning BUT…
With Informal driving Formal…
Emergent Learning Model
ELM was a development of the Open Context Model of Learning (2007) which built on several earlier models of learning, such as
Community Development Model of Learning, Digital Divide Content Strategy & the Ecology of Resources
By the Learner-Generated Contexts Group
Emergent Learning Model
Learner-Generated Contexts; A group attempting to address the question of how Web 2.0 will change learning given;
Social Networks
User-Generated ContentFrom Access to Content to Context or “a coincidence of motivations leading to agile configurations”
Post-scarcity Ecology of Resources model Making Curricula, Organisation, Administration Adaptive

Emergent Learning Model
RethinkingInformal Learning (Libraries, Museums) Non-formal (Training, post-compulsory) Formal Learning (Institutions & Quals)AsSocial Processes (People)Content (Created & Consumed) Context (Quality Assurance)
Emergent Learning Model
Rethinking Informal Learning Focus on the social process that support learning; i.e. PeopleNot places or type or policy ownership or targets (DfES)“Informal Learning is the social processes that support learning in any context”
Emergent Learning Model
Rethinking Non-formal Learning Focus on the content that supports learning (design for appropriation) ORThe content-creation that reflects learning (Learner or User-generated)“Non-formal Learning is Structured Learning resources without formal learning outcomes”
Emergent Learning Model
Rethinking Formal Learning Traditional focus on the institution with little concern on what happened within; concerned with Estates ManagementOR “it’s where the money is”“Formal Education (!) is the process of administering & quality assuring accreditation & qualification”
Emergent Learning Model
Flow & EmergenceCan we use this re-conceptualising to design for a flow of learning?Do we have to start with the institution & then impose processes on learning orCan we start with the social processes of learning & design for emergent behaviours structured by resources?Choice between Hierarchies & Networks
Emergent Learning Model
Informal Learning Phase; enabling models of learner-self-organisation that can be recognised post-hoc
Needs; new learning literacies
Non-formal Learning Phase; Resources designed for learner-appropriation. Content-creation toolkits easily accessible and quality assured (templates? guides?)
Needs new models of content for learning appropriation
Formal Learning Phase; support resource provision, mapping to accredited learning outcomes, quality assuring processes, linking to system needs
Needs institutions concerned with security & authentication
Flexible processes of accreditation and assurance
Emergent Learning Model
Informal Learning Phase; means
People are how we scaffold organisations
Because; learning is social
Non-formal Learning Phase; means
Resources are how we scaffold learning
Because; learning is different to knowledge construction
Formal Learning Phase; means
Institutions are how we scaffold accreditation
Because; Networks work differently to hierarchies
Emergent Learning Model
Emergent Learning in Practice;Ambient Learning & self-accreditationAmbient Learning City Manchester;Lessons; new metaphors, Aggregate then Curate, local and personalWikiQuals; Lessons; Affinity not supervision, “we are rhizomatic” (enabling networks), “solve the problem that annoys you most”
Emergent Learning Model
Why does this matter?1) Rethinking Roles and Processes
2) Change Socio-Economic Context 21st Century
Evolving changes in the socio-technical context
Web As Resource (New Literacies of Access)
Web as Platform (Permanent Beta & new Content)
Web as Location (Identities & New Contexts)OR
It is where the students are
