Neomillennial Learning Styles(Dede, 2005) Fluency in multiple media and in simulation-based virtual
settings Communal learning involving diverse learners Knowledge becoming tacit, situated, distributed across a
community and among learners Content and context become common issues in learning A balance among experiential learning, guided mentoring, and
collective reflection Expression through nonlinear, associational webs of
representations Co-design of learning experiences personalized to individual
needs and preferences.

Neomillennial Learning StrategySelf-Organised Learning in Social contexts
(SOLOS) Internalisation of social construction of
meaning via Self-observation Observation of the Other Learner Perspective taking, mimesis of the language
Externalisation of meaning in the form of outer self-explanation and self-expression as posting.

Neomillennial eLearning Legitimate Peripheral Participation Participation:
Active Lurking: active observation (Lambropoulos, 2005) Use of information outside of community (Takahashi et
al., 2005) Levels of Activity
Low Level of Activity Medium Level of Activity High Level of Activity
Immersion: sense of belonging, activity independent
Social Contribution Paradox: Public Participation is not prerequisite although necessary

Principles: reuse and repurposing, match decoupling concept for modularisation, breaking the whole into units designed to ease restructuring (SCORM)

Multi-Agent Systems (MAS): IDEAL
Intelligent Director for Argumentative Learning (IDEAL) IDEAL consists of seven components:
1 instructional agent, 2 director agents "grandpa" and "grandma", 3 students' personal agents and 1 knowledge base
Implementation: Java on a standard agent platform FIPA-OS for interoperability
IDEAL Goals: Create awareness of learners’ interaction Support learners’ interaction Monitor individual learner’s interaction patterns and intervene
when necessary Support formative and summative evaluation Recommendation of external resources.

Conclusions Open Unis and the Ubiquitous World
Need to increase faculty capabilities in co-design, co-instruction, guided learning-by-doing pedagogies, assessment beyond tests and papers and leaning management activities (Dede, 2005)
Sociability and Usability (Interaction Design) to support Neomillennial Learning
Need of Flexible Infrastructure and Live-Real Time Research Tools to deal with creativity & uncertainty
Changing attitudes is more difficult that changing systems
‘Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited to all’ (Einstein)
