Some thoughts on Emergent Learning ... The Internet provides new opportunities for taking
initiative in learning.
This provides new affordances for teaching, learning,
and collaborating.
….. But we need new frameworks to help us to
understand and respond to these changes.
What is ‘emergent learning’, and can it form the
basis for a new framework?
Questions and discussion.

New opportunities for people to take the initiative in learning The Internet makes it possible for people to:
Access people and content
Create and distribute content
Create and participate in networks
Explore virtual identities and worlds

Social Network Analysis
![Page 5: Emergent Learning in the New Learning Ecologies Roy Williams, Regina Karousou, Jenny Mackness](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062501/568164d0550346895dd6fe5f/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
This provides New Affordances
Particularly in Web 1, 2, and social media.
New ways to interact, and organise your own learning, resources, and networks.
But … is self-organised learning different from ‘learner centred’ and ‘constructivist’ learning?

New Affordances ?

Some examples …
• Reflection and sharing • Recorded conversations• Threaded discussions • Chat (text, audio, video)• Applications sharing – and discussion• Constructing knowledge• Mash-ups of all the above• Mobile space• Virtual space• Poly-synchronous interaction (a hybrid of a/synchronous)

We need new frameworks to help us to:
•Understand these affordances
•Facilitate them
•Find ways to benefit from them – i.e. to match particular affordances with particular learning contexts.
Note: This assumes that there will always be other affordances that are appropriate for other learning contexts – see for example the section on Prescriptive Learning in the IRRODL paper.

Emergence
To start with, emergent learning is unpredictable, and is likely to arise …
• Where learning is substantially self- organised, and adaptive.• From frequent interaction • Between a large number of people and resources (micro-agents) • Where no-one is able to see (or monitor) everything that is happening• Where participation is as open as
possible

MAMLL
The students negotiate the curriculum. They are self-organising and self-correcting. To some extent they co-create the institutional structure. The barrier is assessment and the University assessment regulations
• Open syllabus. • Self-managed, learning. • Co-constructed negotiated
curriculum. • Unpredictable, surprising, creativity.. • Learner autonomy and control. • Diversity and difference.

Future Research
• Descriptions / visual analysis of emergence in practice
… to create better practice and better strategic frameworks, for …
• Designing and using learning spaces / architectures (for co-evolution of agency and structure)
• Facilitating emergence < > constraints• Benchmarking emergent learning• Certifying emergent learning• Integrating emergent learning into broader
learning practices/ ecologies. (e.g. Mathematics: Kumon, Montessori , LOGO, Problem-based learning, etc).
• Relationship to broader ecologies of learning/ knowledge creation/ accumulation/ distribution

Questions
1. Does emergence require constraints?
2. Are ‘learning events’ compatible with emergence?
3. Can emergent learning be assessed?
4. Can we integrate emergent learning with otherkinds of learning?
5. Are there examples of learning/events in whichemergence could/should play no role at all?
