22. Forward-looking Feedback
nStudents need to receive appropriate feedback
which they can use to ‘feed forward’ into
future work.
nFeedback should be less final and judgemental
(Boud, 1995)
nFeedback should be more interactive and
forward-looking (Carless, 2002; Keppell 2005)
nFeedback should be timely and with a potential
to be acted upon (Gibbs & Simpson, 2004)

Interactive learning (learner-to-content)
Networked learning (learner-to-learner;
learner-to-teacher)
Student-generated content (learner-as-
designers).
Connected students (knowledge is in the
network)
Learning-oriented assessment
(assessment-as-learning) (Keppell, 2014).
Interactions

30. Learning Space Literacies
nLearning 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

31. Principles of Personalisation
nKnowledge, skills and
attitudes that allow
interaction in a digital age
(digital literacies,
mobile learning)
nSeamless learning across
physical and virtual places
and spaces (distributed
learning spaces, learning
space literacies)
!
31

32. Principles of Personalisation
nAutonomous learners who take
ownership for their learning
(learner engagement, self-
regulated learning, learners who
ask questions, learner choice –
desire paths)
nAssessment that is learning-
oriented (Feedback as feed-
forward)
nAn attitude of life-wide and life-
long learning (Life-wide, Life-
long)
!
32

33. Principles of Personalisation
nPersonalised Learning is
not a matter of tailoring
curriculum, teaching
and assessment to ‘fit’
the individual, but is a
question of developing
social practices that
enable people to
become all that they
are capable of
becoming (Pollard &
James, p.6).
