Interaction in learning
- Learning in interaction
From DK - VL 24 hours: Your biggest concern? The New Generation

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

Human activities are mediated by
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.
