Digital Identity Spaces

I can see a day in the not too distant future (if it’s not already here) where your “digital footprint” will carry far more weight than anything you might include in a resume or CV (Betcher, 2009)

Learning Space LiteraciesnLearning space literacies are the knowledge, skills and attitudes that are required to recognise, utilise and adapt distributed learning spaces so that they allow the personalised learner to engage with their learning (Keppell, 2014).

Learning-oriented Assessment

Assessment tasks as learning

tasks

Student involvement in

assessment processes

Forward-looking feedback

Forward-looking FeedbacknFeedback should be less final and judgemental (Boud, 1995)

nFeedback should be more interactive and forward-looking (Carless, 2002; Keppell 2005)

nFeedback should be timely and with a potential to be acted upon (Gibbs & Simpson, 2004)

32

Lifelong & Life-wide Learningn Encompasses both formal

and informal learning, self-motivated learning..(Watson, 2003).

n Life-wide learning “contains many parallel and interconnected journeys and experiences...”

n (Jackson, 2010, p. 492).

37

E-portfoliosn Space for personal learning

n Populated by the learner

n Supports learning not assessment

n For life-long and life–wide learning

n Able to present multiple stories of learning

Networked learning (learner-to-learner; learner-to-teacher)

Student-generated content (learner-as-designers).

Connected students (knowledge is in the network)

Learning-oriented assessment (assessment-as-learning) (Keppell, 2014).

Teaching Mindsets
