Key Trends

> Evolution of online learning.

> Ubiquity of social media.

> Integration of online, hybrid and collaborative learning.

> Shift from students as consumers to students as creators. (Johnson, L., S. Adams Becker, V. Estrada, and A. Freeman. 2014. NMC Horizon Report: 2014 Higher Education Edition. Austin, Texas: The New Media Consortium) http://www.nmc.org/publications/2014-horizon-report-higher-ed

How mobile learning can make a difference (John Traxler 2011)

1) Contingent learning: react and respond to environment in ways that cannot be pre-determined. 2) Situated learning: more meaningful by incorporating the surrounding environment. 3) Authentic learning: direct relationship between learning goals and tasks. 4) Context aware learning: access background information that can enrich appreciation of a place, artifact or event. 5) Personalized learning: customize ordering, pace, presentation of content. Traxler, John. 2011. “Introduction.” In Making mobile learning work: case studies of practice, edited by John Traxler and Jocelyn Wishart, 4-12.

Jonathan Worth: Twitter is “a listening device” and a means “to tune the network.” Each year “the journey is different and the course accrues a long tail of content”. (“Free Online Class Shakes Up Photo Education.” 2014. http://www.wired.com/rawfile/2011/08/free-online-class-shakes-up-photo-education/)

Phonar: a safe, mentored learning environment augmented and enriched by connecting the classroom to a public network where everyone can create and learn together.

Phonar Nation: Connected Learning Connected Learning: “broadened access to learning that is socially embedded, interest-driven, and oriented toward educational, economic, or political opportunity” — Mizuko Ito et al. (Connected Learning: An agenda for research and design. Digital Media and Learning Research Hub, Irvine, CA)

“I don’t think education is about centralized instruction anymore; rather, it is the process establishing oneself as a node in a broad network of distributed creativity”. — Joichi Ito (Director of the M.I.T. Media Lab) http://www.nytimes.com/2011/12/06/science/joichi-ito-innovating-by-the-seat-of-our-pants.html?_r=0

Jonathan Worth on Phonar: “Students learn to speak clearly with images and engage a connected audience. They learn to leverage and to be empowered by the network rather than feeling anonymised by it.” http://phonarnation.org/about/
