Values• We can (and must) continuously improve the
quality, effectiveness, appeal, cost and time efficiency of the learning experience.
• Student control and freedom is integral to 21st century life-long education and learning.
• Continuing education opportunity is a basic human right.

Proposition #2
• Different Social Structures/Pedagogies/Technologies, determine most effective use.

Learning as Dance (Anderson, 2008)
• Technology sets the beat and the timing.
• Pedagogy defines the moves.

1st Gen Cognitive BehaviouralPedagogy Summary
• Scalable• Few requirements, or opportunities, for social
learning• Works most efficiently with individual learning
models• Effective and efficient for some types of
learning• Have we taught learners to succeed with this
type of learning?
![Page 28: Blended Learning Australia 2013](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081513/554967f7b4c9056e598b4a17/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
28
2nd Generation Constructivist Pedagogy
• Group Orientated• Membership and exclusion, closed • Not scalable - max 50 students/course• Classrooms - at a distance or on campus• Hierarchies of control• Focus on collaboration and shared purpose
group
![Page 29: Blended Learning Australia 2013](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081513/554967f7b4c9056e598b4a17/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
2nd Generation - Constructivist• Online Learning Current model – continued
strong growth in US and globally• Major employer of adjuncts
32% of US higher education students now take at least one course online. (2011)
![Page 30: Blended Learning Australia 2013](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081513/554967f7b4c9056e598b4a17/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Constructivist Learning in Groups• Long history of research
and study• Established sets of tools
– Classrooms– Learning Management
Systems (LMS)– Synchronous (chat, video
& net conferencing)– Email, wikis, blogs
• Need to develop face to face, mediated and blended group learning skills
Garrison, R., Anderson, T., & Archer, W. (2000). Critical thinking in text-based environment: Computer conferencing in higher education. The Internet and Higher Education, 2(2), 87-105.

The Power of Synchronous
• Immediacy• Pacing• Comfort level for student and teachers, but
DON’T fall into classroom lectures• Social Modeling
![Page 32: Blended Learning Australia 2013](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081513/554967f7b4c9056e598b4a17/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Web Conferencing
• Recordable• Clickers• Student screen control• Video• Animations• Shared Screen
![Page 33: Blended Learning Australia 2013](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081513/554967f7b4c9056e598b4a17/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Immersion ??

Social Constructivist Social forms
• Group• Limited in size
– Dunbar’s Max ~150 for a tribe• Mutual awareness of each other
![Page 35: Blended Learning Australia 2013](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081513/554967f7b4c9056e598b4a17/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Group Management
• Need good tools to allow group to work effectively and build trust at a distance
• Use Face-to-face (blended) time to do this.

Generation 3 Connective pedagogies
• Stephen Downes
![Page 38: Blended Learning Australia 2013](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081513/554967f7b4c9056e598b4a17/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
• McLuhan “We shape our tools and thereafter our tools shape us”
• “When physical spaces for learning go online (distributed, non-hierarchical, networked, digital), new, more effective pedagogies emerge”. George Siemens
![Page 39: Blended Learning Australia 2013](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081513/554967f7b4c9056e598b4a17/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
3rd generation Connective Pedagogies
• Heutagogy – Hase, S., & Kenyon, C. (2000). From Andragogy to Heutagogy.
• Chaos Theory
• Activity Theory & Actor Network Theory (ANT)– “systemic interactions of people and the objects
that they use in their interactions.”
![Page 40: Blended Learning Australia 2013](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081513/554967f7b4c9056e598b4a17/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Connectivism
• “connectivism is the thesis that knowledge is distributed across a network of connections, and therefore that learning consists of the ability to construct and traverse those networks.” Stephen Downes 2007
![Page 41: Blended Learning Australia 2013](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081513/554967f7b4c9056e598b4a17/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Connectivist Learning
“Connectivying” your course http://terrya.edublogs.org/2012/12/18/connectivy-your-course/
![Page 42: Blended Learning Australia 2013](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081513/554967f7b4c9056e598b4a17/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Connectivist Knowledge
• Is created by linking to appropriate people and objects
• May be created and stored in non human devices• Is as much about capacity as current competence• Assumes the ubiquitous Internet• Is emergent
George Siemens
![Page 43: Blended Learning Australia 2013](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081513/554967f7b4c9056e598b4a17/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Disruptions of Connectivism
• Demands net proficiency and presence of students and teachers
• Openness is scary• New roles for teachers and
students• Artifact ownership,
persistence• Too manic for some
![Page 44: Blended Learning Australia 2013](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081513/554967f7b4c9056e598b4a17/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)

Conclusion:
• the best part of Blended Learning – is eclectic allowing student exploration of their own learning needs and gifts.
• Need to matching pedagogy, technology and the learning outcomes
• Empowerment, lifelong learning and smart (not more) work for teachers

Which Works Best?
• Interaction Equivalency Theory
![Page 69: Blended Learning Australia 2013](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081513/554967f7b4c9056e598b4a17/html5/thumbnails/69.jpg)
The Interaction Equivalency Theorem by Anderson (2003)
• Thesis 1. Deep and meaningful formal learning is supported as long as one of the three forms of interaction (student–teacher; student–student; student–content) is at a high level. The other two may be offered at minimal levels, or even eliminated, without degrading the educational experience.
• Thesis 2. High levels of more than one of these three modes will likely provide a more satisfying educational experience, although these experiences may not be as cost- or time effective as less interactive learning sequences.
