Pedagogies are not enough

http://heutagogicarchive.wordpress.com/2011/04/11/emergent-learning-model/ http://www.slideshare.net/fredgarnett/fg-ouemergenttable

Learning is Emergent not institutionalised! We need to design for emergence and create tools to support that in a wiki-based collaborative world

We needed to build new learning exemplars of ‘non-linear dynamic systems’

Emergent Learning Model rethinks learning as i. Social Processes not classroomsii. Content Creation or Curation not textbooksiii. Quality Assurance not high-stakes assessment

Ambient Learning Open City

http://www.slideshare.net/fredgarnett/ambientlearningcityhttp://mosialong.wordpress.com/2011/08/08/aggregate-then-curate/

Being Insanely Ambitious we decided to test emergent learning by turning Manchester into an open Ambient Learning City. Cities have many more learning contexts than a single classroom, so we decided to test them with MOSI-ALONGMOSI Ambient Learning Open Network GroupDigital Cabinets of Curiosities as new metaphor

Aggregate then Curate our new #socialmedia participation model creating structured ways for people to inter-act with their city; even during riots (A History of Manchester in 100 objects)

#Occupy the Learning Commons

http://www.slideshare.net/fredgarnett/learning-is-a-full-time-occupationhttp://www.opensukey.org/about/

Then came Occupy UCL I gave a talk on lessons I had learnt and challenged them to create a Learning Commons at UCL. Sukey Data was hacked together.

Learning is a full time Occupation was written for Learning without Frontiers 2011 “social-space time / occupation as learning” I was then asked to help create a self-organised Masters course for graduating UCL students

2011 The University Project

http://univproject.pbworks.com/http://www.slideshare.net/fredgarnett/wikiquals

The University Project was convened by Dougald Hine+ at Hub Westminster, over a long weekend in October 2011, to look at various alt.Uni projects as Uni’s are ‘temporarily useful eccentricities’.

A Community of Scholars was the common theme. The action point was “solve the problem…that annoys you most” (Philippa Young) Accreditation of learning annoyed us most

WikiQuals was born

What is WikiQuals?

WikiQuals is self-directed post-hoc accreditationWe Trust the SqolarTransparent learning published openlyUniversities “bring you to book”s to read stuffWikiQuals sends you out into the world to doBeing as learning Co-creating changeAct in the world & document its emergence

WikiQuals – We are Rhizomatic

• Affinity partners supporting guild-like SHOW & TELL 2.0 model of open accreditation

• Affinity Groups support based on empathy• QR Codes as wearable real-time accreditation• Rhizomatic behaviours not MOOCs,• Discontinous relationships creating loose ties

with other networks…

WikiQuals Open Learning Lab

Any University can open a WikiQuals Open Learning Lab. It is a platform for learning that leverages content abundance, learner-generated contexts and purposes to enable emergent & innovative learning behaviours. Needs Space a room one afternoon a week (or more)Access to Learning Resources (& estates)Affinity Partners discuss & guide, create affinity groups

Any institution can open a WikiQuals Open Learning Lab it is about providing a generative platform

WikiQuals can grow up and leave home

Critical Pedagogies; WikiQualsWhy does andragogy & heutagogy matter?

1) Helping rethink roles and processes in education

2) As Socio-Economic Context changes 21st Century

Evolving new learning ecologies in the socio-technical context

Web As Resource (New Literacies of Access)

Web as Platform (Permanent Beta Content creation/curation)

Web as Location (Identity & new Contexts)
