Guiding PedagogiesAuthentic Learning

• Complex real-world tasks• Real setting or workplace

Authentic Assessment• Engaging and worthy problems• Questions of importance (Wiggins,

1993)

Personalised Learning• Learning pathways• ePortfolios

Peer Learning• Students teaching and learning

from each other• Interdependent learning rather than

independent learning (Boud, 2001)

Defining Learning Spaces

• Physical, blended or online learning environments that enhance learning

• Physical, blended or online ‘areas’ that motivate a learner to learn

Defining Learning Spaces

• Spaces where both teachers and learners optimise the perceived and actual affordances of the space; and

• Spaces that promote authentic learning interactions (Keppell & Riddle, 2012, 2013).
