A brief overview of the Learner-Generated Contexts Research Groups origins and ideas as a Pecha Kucha presentation

1. What Next? - 2010 Learner-Generated Contexts Pecha Kucha Presentation Fred Garnett FRSA @fredgarnett The Learner Generated Context Research Group http://heutagogicarchive.wordpress.com/

2. Learner-Generated Contexts Definition; A context created by people interacting together with a common, self-defined or negotiated learning goal. The key aspect of Learner Generated Contexts is that they are generated through the enterprise of those who would previously have been consumers in a context created for them. (Wikipedia)

3. Learner-Generated Contexts Origins; A Team who built a Facebook for earning in 2004 (before social network) Socially Inclusive; Community Development Model of Learning (Freire) Participant Design; Ecology of Resources Model of Learner (Vygotsky)

4. Knowledge Curriculum Resources Administration Organisation Environment Underpinning concept: The Ecology of Resources model of context

5. Knowledge Curriculum Resources Administration Organisation Environment The Ecology of Resources model of context: for LGC we need bi-directional arrows in all parts of the model

6. Knowledge Curriculum Resources Administration Organisation Environment The Ecology of Resources model of context: we also need to identify appropriate boundaries or filters

7. Learner-Generated Contexts Consequences of Filters; 1) A Co-creation Pedagogy of Learning 2) An interactive model of institutions Limited by; Cognitive Schemas (Habermas) Changed by; Participative Delivery of Outcomes

8. Learner-Generated Contexts Open Context Model of Learning; “ Coincidence of Motivations leading to Agile Configurations ” Outlined by PAH Continuum; Pedagogy ; Subject Disciplines Andragogy ; Collaboration Heutagogy ; Playing with Form

9. Learner-Generated Contexts Pedagogy, Andragogy, Heutagogy Continuum Question; What? Why? Why Not? Knowledge Creation Process negotiation Subject Understanding Knowledge Production Context Epistemic Metacognitive Cognitive Cognition Level doctoral research adult education schools Education sector learner teacher/learner teacher Locus of Control Heutagogy Andragogy Pedagogy

10. Learner-Generated Contexts The Open Context Model; a collaborative pedagogy Another View of the PAH Continuum;

11. Learner-Generated Contexts PAH Continuum Needs Teaching as Brokering (Craft) 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)‏

12. Learner-Generated Contexts Institutional Filters; An Architecture of Participation; Adaptive Institutions working across Collaborative Networks ’ Not unlike the Occupations Needs a ‘ Dialogic ’ Method of Organisation Needs Users to run MIS Systems Needs DSS to co-manage institutions See Eccles College ‘ webactions ’

13. Learner-Generated Contexts Developing an Architecture of Participation Using e-maturity frameworks as a developmental tool will enable institutions to improve their flexibility (EMFFE) Develop knowledge networks and organisational strategies Introduce enhanced public value measures of outcomes, services, transparency, trust, networks and negotiated collaborative outcomes Use these elements to introduce co-creation & co-design of learning Develop self-assessment and self-review strategies as part of e-mature collaborative networks educational institutions will be able to influence the policy landscape “ adaptive institutions working across collaborative networks”

14. Learner-Generated Contexts Why does this matter? 1) Social Justice 2) Change Socio-Economic Context Evolving changes in the socio-technical context Web As Resource (New Literacies of Access) Web as Platform (Permanent Beta & new Content) Web as Location (Identities & New Contexts) OR It is where the students are

15. Learner-Generated Contexts Mike Wesch ’ s Students A Vision of Students Today A Vision of Students Today 4 ’ 45 ” Mike Wesch; The Machine is Us/ing Us The Machine is Us/ing Us 4 ’ 31 ” Learner-Generated Contexts; Where shall we learn? The Future of Education 4 ’ 15 ” Emergent Learning Model; Table on Slideshare A4 Download

16. Learner-Generated Contexts “ The Future is already here. It is just unevenly distributed” (William Gibson)‏

17. Learner-Generated Contexts “ The Answers are already here! We are just asking the wrong Questions...”

18. Learner-Generated Contexts What NEXT? Participative Education for Participative Democracy

19. Learner-Generated Contexts Q What Do We Want? A Participation! Q when do we want it A NOW!!
