Here’s a problem for teachers:

“For the first time we are preparing students for a future we cannot clearly describe.” - David Warlick

HOW ABOUT LEADERS, PROJECT

MANAGERS AND OTHER

PROFESSIONALS?

How the WEB change learning

• The web support the comparison between many sources of information, each incomplete and together contradictory

• Introducing learning based on searching, sorting and synthesize of information, rather than assimilation of information of one ‘true’ information source

• The media and the user interface supports multitasking

• Advanced way to synthesize new knowledge?

• ”Napsterisme” – combining others design

• Tailor-made teaching products and services, adjusted to the individual need, rather than one size fits all in length, content and pedagogical way

Mediated Immersion

• Competent in many medias and simulation in virtual environments

• Community based learning thru involvement of many local situated experiences, sharing of knowledge cross communities, contexts and inside the mind of the individual

• A balance between experimental learning, guided mentoring and collective reflection

• Emerged thru a non-linear loosely connected and associated net of representations

• Co-creation of learning experiences tailored to the individual need and preferences

The consequence of Immersion in learning?

• Infinite possibilities to obtain access to information sources and psychological communities across time and distance, mean there will develop a bigger depth and broader horizons in shared experiences

• Possibilities to create interactions, activities and experiences in a mediated environment, which is impossible in real life. Like teleporting to a virtual environment , where a distant person can se and interact with you and your real-time local environment

What does all the mean……

• For the purpose created facilities will become meaningless

• MWD will connect information in real-time • Virtual environments will create virtual copies• Learners will participate in wide, loosely connected

virtual learning communities• Interoperability – Open content and open sources will

create borderless information sharing• Diverse type of evaluations• Peer-review as a part of how we evaluate

We will need new ‘literacies’

• Social networking• Privacy maintenance• Identity management• Creating content• Organising content• Reusing and repurposing• Filtering and selecting• Self broadcasting

The new web environments are

game changers. Learners now

need new (digital) literacies

Next Step

• Wireless access everywhere

• Multi purpose facilities

• Enhances realities• Virtual reflection

culturally established

instruments such as tools and language.

We can use computers to

extend the capabilities of our own minds. They can become the

repositories of our knowledge.

Personal Learning Environments

Personal Learning Network

PersonalWeb Tools

PLEs are not only personal web tools and

personal learning networks. PLEs are

much wider than this, taking in experiences and reality, as well as learning through TV, music, paper based

materials, radio & more formal contexts.

Learning content is not as important now as

where (or who) to connect to, to find it.

PWTs are any web tools, (usually Web 2.0) chosen by learners to support their lifelong

learning.
