Building and linking communities of open practice
Open communities are where: The learner is in control of choices over his/her learning.
Learning contexts are continually in flux.
Organisations that provide formal education radically open up.
Other types of organisations increase involvement in learning.
As learning broadens so too must assessment and accreditation.
Building and linking communities of open practice
Call to action:
1 Lifelong learners may not be able to structure their learning. 2 Standardisation of learning restricts the broadening of what we understand as learning.3 Current accreditation processes may restrict authentic and flexible assessment.4 Open access may destabilise closed organisations. 5 Learning analytics may continue to focus on administrative rather than learning processes.
