Defining Personalised Learning

I define personalised learning as the knowledge, skills and

attitudes that enable learning and act as a catalyst to empower the learner to

continue to learn (Keppell, 2015)

Knowledge, Skills and AttitudesnKnowledge is now co-

created nSkills form a basis for

learning nAttitudes influence

beliefs and behaviours nGrowth mindset

(Dweck, 2006) nOpenly seek challenge

Levels of Digital LiteraciesnDigital competency

n knowing how to use digital tools

nDigital Fluency n applying digital

knowledge and skills nDigital design

n user-generated content n ‘learner-as-designer’

Digital Design Spaces

Developing Literaciesn Employable graduates

need to be digitally literate !n Learners need to be

supported by staff to develop academic digital literacies

!n Professional

development is vital in developing digital literacies

Mindfulness (Rheingold, 2010)

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)

Seamless Learning

Seamless Learning

nContinuity of learning across a combination of locations, times, technologies or social settings (Sharples, et al, 2012, 2013).

Virtual Learning Spaces

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).

30

Levels of Seamless LearningnOn-campus

n comfortable with formal and informal spaces

nVirtual campus n comfortable with

blended, online, social media

nAnywhere n trains, cafes,

teleworking

31

Self-Regulated Learner

Levels of Self-Regulated Learning

nScaffolded learners n teachers scaffold

learning nStrategic learners

n learners begin to manage their own learning

nAutonomous learners n learners become

strategic learners

33

Learning-oriented Assessment

Learning-oriented Assessment

Assessment tasks as learning

tasks

Student involvement in

assessment processes

Forward-looking feedback

nAssessment tasks determine student effort

nTasks should require distribution of student time and effort (Gibbs & Simpson, 2004)

Assessment Tasks as Learning Tasks

36

Student Involvement in Assessment nStudents begin to learn about assessment

nStudents begin to determine the quality of their own work

37

Forward-looking Feedback!

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

38

Levels of Learning-oriented Assessment

nAuthentic assessment n learners participate in

authentic assessment nNegotiated assessment

n learners negotiate assessment with teachers

nSelf-assessment n learners act on ‘feedback

as feed-forward’

44

Lifelong and Life-wide Learning

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).

46

E-portfolios!

nPopulated by the learner

!

nAble to present multiple stories of learning

47

The future will require learners to be lifelong

learners whose ability to learn will be an essential survival skill set to thrive

in this changing world (Keppell, 2015).

Levels of Lifelong LearningnShort-term

n learners are focussed on current courses

nFuture-focussed n relates courses to

future job nBeing a learner

n learning becomes a customary practice

49

Learning Pathways

http://daniel.fone.net.nz/blog/2013/05/19/desire-paths-in-web-ui/

Levels of Learning PathwaysnPrescribed

n fixed learning pathway nFlexible

n learner has some choice through electives

nOpen education n learner constructs

learning pathway to meet their needs

52

Knowledge, skills, and attitudes of learners who need to

navigate the ‘chaos’ of an ambiguous learning landscape
