Disrupting Innovation
‣ New innovation redefines quality
‣ Technology enabler
‣ Online learning appears to be a technology enabler for higher education
‣ Disrupting higher education
‣ Enables learning in a variety of contexts, locations and times

Trends ‣ People expect to be able to work, learn, and
study whenever and wherever they want.
‣ The abundance of resources and relationships will challenge our educational identity.
‣ Students want to use their own technology for learning.
‣ Shift across all sectors to online learning, blended learning and collaborative models.

Challenges n Seamless learning – people expect to be
able to work, learn, and study whenever and wherever they want.
n Digital literacies – capabilities which fit an individual for living, learning and working in a digital society (JISC)
n Personalisation - our learning, teaching, place of learning, technologies will be individualised
n Mobility is here!

Digital Literacies n Literacy is no longer “the ability
to read and write” but now “the ability to understand information however presented.”
n Can't assume students have skills to interact in a digital age
n Literacies will allow us to teach more effectively in a digital age (JISC, 2012)

17
Developing Literacies n Employable graduates need to be digitally
literate n Digital literacies are often related to discipline
area n Learners need to be supported by staff to
develop academic digital literacies n Professional development is vital in developing
digital literacies n Professional associations are supporting their
members to improve digital literacies n Engaging students supports digital literacy
development i.e. students as change agents (JISC, 2012)

Personal Learning Spaces
‣ Personal Learning Environments (PLE) integrate formal and informal learning spaces
‣ Customised by the individual to suit their needs and allow them to create their own identities.
‣ A PLE recognises ongoing learning and the need for tools to support life-long and life-wide learning (Attwell, 2007).

21
Connectivism
‣ PLE may also require new ways of learning as knowledge has changed to networks and ecologies (Siemens, 2006).
‣ The implications of this change is that improved lines of communication need to occur.
‣ “Connectivism is the assertion that learning is primarily a network-forming process” (p. 15).
