Digital Learning Architectures of Participation our new book published by IGI Global July 2020. How can we build learning infrastructures for the 21st century? We ask 8 key questions and answer them with new toolkits and our development frameworks. Links to the book and book chapters. Links to our blogs and more online resources

Our challenge
Can we build new learning infrastructures
that are future-facing & learner-centric
To transform our 1000-year-old institution-
centric, education systems?
We think we can! So we have written Digital
Learning Architectures of Participation

Our experience
Have each spent 25 years on digital projects
We believe we now have the potential to
transform education with digital toolkits
We have experience across all education
sectors from practice to research
We’ve been rethinking; teaching, learning,
management, structures and processes

5. Nigel Ecclesfield FRSA & Fred Garnett FRSA
Questions & Answers
William Gibson said “the future is already
here, it’s just not evenly distributed”
We think that “the answers are already
here, we are just asking the wrong
questions”
So here are 8 key questions we are asking
about the digital future of learning…

6. #DLAoP; A Toolkit for the Future
• 8 Questions that we answer in the book
1. Can we make learning open?
2. Can we model learning?
3. Can we design for learning?
4. Can we use personal technologies
5. Can we design social structures for learning?
6. Can we build digital institutions?
7. What does digital transformation look like?
8. Can we build a learning infrastructure?

7. Digital Learning:
Architectures of
Participation
1. Open Context Model of
Learning

8. Can we make learning open?
1. Open Context Model of Learning
Technology is the essence of education
Lets design a post web2.0 model of learning
So we can Co-create teaching and learning…
In ALL Contexts!
Integrating Pedagogy Andragogy Heutagogy
Using the PAH Continuum…

2. Learning-modelling

11. Can we model learning?
2. Learner-Modelling
Well, how do we learn?
Let’s reconceptualise learning;
a) Learner-centric (interest-driven)
b) Context-responsive (lifecycles model)
c) Large-scale system (learners as users)
Using a model of informal e-learning…
DLAoP; Book Chapter 2 - Learner Modelling

12. JISC RSC Northwest
Learner Modelling (see handout)
“Goal-seeking” motivated learners
Animateurs as “Trusted Intermediaries” provide
“timely interventions”
Animateur build learning communities & mentors
Learners respond to social needs
Animateurs suggests resources (from links page)
Teachers as
“trusted
intermediaries”

“interest-driven learning”

13. Digital Learning:

Participation
3. Emergent Learning Model

14. Can we design for learning?
3. Emergent Learning Model (ELM)
Can we integrate informal, non-formal and
formal learning?
YES! BUT! Not from Universities down
Because learning is an emergent process…
So we must design from learning outwards
With a learning design toolkit, such as;
Our ELM development framework for building
learning infrastructures
DLAoP; Book Chapter 3 – Emergent Learning Model

16. Digital Learning:

4. The Digital Practitioner

17. Can we use our own technology?
4. Digital Practitioners...
Explore;
• With Confidence
• Think Divergently
Trust in;
• A Tapestry of Technology
• Student Play
• Bring Your Own Device
Use; Personal curiosity to Discover resources
& Collaborate using their personal technology
DLAoP; Book Chapter 7 – The Digital Practitioner

18. Transformation comes from;
Designing “Artfully-crafted,
student-centric learning experiences”

19. Digital Learning:

5. an Architecture of
Participation

20. Can we design social structures for learning?
5. Organisational Architectures of Participation
• Institutions built for learners not managers
• Web 2.0 Architecture of Participation
• Intentional Communities of Practice &
Technology Stewards produce
• adaptive institutions working across
collaborative networks (like EMFFE)

6. e-maturity Model for
Education

23. Can we build digital institutions?
6. e-Maturity Model for Further Education
e-Maturity means networked institutions
Let’s reconceptualise institutions;
Emergent Folksonomy elements producing a
dynamic networked Taxonomy or
“Adaptive institutions working across
collaborative networks”
DLAoP; Book Chapter 5 – The EMFFE e-maturity Education Model

7. Digital Transformation
Projects

26. What does Digital Transformation
look like?
7. Digital Transformation Projects… some
examples;
Thom Cochrane; mobile learning
Vijaya Khote Banu; heutagogy app 4 primary
CROS; social media learning model
Ambient Learning City Manchester;
“Aggregate then Curate”
DLAoP; Book Chapter 8 – Digital Transformation Projects

27. Thom Cochrane;
bridging learning contexts
with mlearning

28. Same thing happened with me and my kids, a
decade ago. When Heutagogy entered the classroom, it
brought with it, liberty, decision making, creativity,
problem solving, positivity etc., It expelled stress, strain,
compulsion etc., out of the classroom.

32. Can We Build Learning Infrastructures?
8. Before and After Institutions
We need to move from a Business model of
Management Information Systems (MIS)
Reconceptualising learning structure; 3 E’s
1. Learners who are Exploring
2. Teachers who are Evaluating
3. Managers who are Enabling
