2. Outline
• OECD 2015
• Affordances
• Open practices
• Impact
• Continuing Professional Development
• Learning Design Frameworks
• Learning Analytics
• Final reflections
3. OECD 2015
− ICT has revolutionised virtually
every aspect of our life and work
− Students unable to navigate
through a complex digital
landscape will no longer be able
to participate fully in the
economic, social and cultural life
around them
− Challenges: information overload,
plagiarism, online risks
− Students need to become critical
consumers of Internet services
and electronic media and make
informed choices
4. Affordances of digital technologies
− Phases: cultural, symbolic,
communication, networked, cyber-
infrastructure (Pea, 2008)
− Affordances differ according to the
technology, context and use
− Internet most disruptive technology of
last 50 years
− Technologies can:
− Enable more interaction and
communication
− Help with retention
− Be engaging and motivational
− Extend the classroom
− Provide timely and targeted feedback
− Personalise the learning experience
− Enable more open practices

5. Digital learning ecology
−Classroom expanded and
evolved as virtual place
sits alongside physical
−A variety of different
complementary learning
opportunities
−Further evidence of
blurring of boundaries
Brown, 2015
6. Open practices
−Opening up education
−Facets
− OER
− MOOCs
− E-textbooks
−Use of open practices
complex, personalised and
contextual (Cronin)
−Continuum of openness and
access (Olcott)

7. Impact
−Learners
− OER (Wiley’s 5 Rs)
− MOOCs (learning at scale)
− E-textbooks (flexible & cost effective)
−Teachers
− New approaches to design
− MOOCs for CPD
−Researchers
− Data-intensive collaborative research
− Social media
− Open scholarship https://bit.ly/2VBvFch
8. Continuing Professional Learning
− Central role of the teacher
− Continuing Professional Learning
− Enable teachers to develop
innovative learning interventions
− Make effective use of digital
technologies
− Formats
− Specialised and tailored workshops
− Peer support and mentoring
− Examples of good practice
− Share and discuss practice
− Resources, OER and MOOCs
9. Learning Design Frameworks
−Frameworks for guiding the use of
technology/media/materials
− SAMR, SECTIONS, COACT
−Workshop approaches aimed
mainly at promoting general good
practice. i.e. social constructivist
assumptions
− 7Cs, 8LEM, ABC
−Approaches based on specific
theory of learner engagement
− ICAP

11. Learning Analytics
Summative (teachers)
− See what learners are
doing
− Identify learners who are
struggling
− Find concepts that learners
find difficult
− Provide targeted support
Formative (learners)
− See patterns of their learning
− Receive advice on better
learning strategies
− Compare learning against
classmates
− Set/review learning goals

12. Final reflections
− Digital learning ecology is complex
− More research needed to understand the
complexity
− Influence of affordances
− Understand affordances & how they support
pedagogy
− No single metaphor for 21st Century
learning
− Support for learning needs to match learner
needs and the context of learning
− Assessment needs to support deep
learning
− Needs to be purposeful & support active,
authentic and meaningful learning
13. Final reflections
−Teachers’ mindsets mediate
technology implementation
− Targeted and authentic CPL
−Impact of leadership and
institutional cultures
− Need to align with factors for
successful update of digital
technologies
−Refocus and change mindsets
− From education in change to
education for change
14. Change as a constant
Change isn’t just one
thing, just one time, just
one big revelation.
Change occurs in stages,
and phases, which each
add depth, colour,
character, and create a
multidimensional,
multifaceted you
