The document discusses heutagogy and the craft of teaching. It defines heutagogy as learner-led education where learners determine their own learning needs and paths. It presents teaching as brokering, where teachers facilitate learner interests and collaborative learning. It also discusses using technology to support new skills like searching, evaluating, and guiding learners. The document proposes a model of learner-generated contexts where learners' motivations lead to agile configurations of learning through open contexts and communities of practice.

4. Heutagogy & the Craft of Teaching Why Heutagogy? Heutagogy usually related to teaching Art in Art Schools Playing with Form, questioning structures; Remake/Remodel In the Open Context Model, we describe this as ‘epistemic cognition’ the process of thinking about new knowledge A process of learning appropriate for a Knowledge Economy where the ‘web is an (emergent) platform’ (Johnson/apps) Why Craft? Teaching is a profession; Community of Practice. You need to master your craft as you go through your apprenticeship ‘ crafting a learning process between yourself, the learner, resources and the context in which that learning takes place’
6. Heutagogy & the Craft of Teaching Teaching as Brokering ; Education Professionals as Learning Brokers; a) writes the syllabus & develops the learning process, b) enables learners to follow the motivation of ‘interests’ c) supports & facilitates collaborative learning d) allows creative assessments to be developed 2007 LSDA Innovation in Learning Project interviewed Star Award winners to identify their qualities, After 3/5 years they; a) understand their subject for teaching (pedagogy) b) understand learning management (andragogy) c) turn power over to the learners (heutagogy)

14. Heutagogy & the Craft of Teaching What is the PAH Continuum of this talk? Pedagogy ; The LGC approach to (the co-creation of) learning; the emerging discipline of Technology-Enhanced Learning Andragogy ; a Salford Method invite, a Q&A , the use of Elluminate, presentation not complete nor closed Heutagogy ; any heutagogy will be in the changed practice of the listener, but I am hoping to stimulate some thoughts that might lead to that changed practice; think of the presentation as an open project proposal needing some problem-solving
