What is Edupunk?
• A resistance to commodification and commercialisation of learning
• A ‘do-it-yourself’ attitude • Thinking and learning for
yourself• Unleashing the ‘anarchy of the
web’
Edupunk philosophy
“Edupunk is student-centered, resourceful, teacher- or community-created rather than corporate-sourced, and underwritten by a progressive political stance.”

LMS PLE
Good for secure organisation, storage and delivery of content
Not good for opening up content or personalised learning
Uses free/open tools that can be personalised
Loosely aggregated tool set and not fully secure

We cannot ‘manage’ self-organised learning for our students.
We can only create conducive environments within which students will organise their own learning.

PLEs are not only personal web tools and personal learning networks. PLEs
are much wider than this, taking in experiences and realia, as well as learning through TV, music, paper based materials, radio &
more formal contexts.

Since we cannot experience everything, other people’s experiences, and hence other people,
become the surrogate for knowledge.
