E-Pedagogies
A
AssociativeFocus on individualLearning through association and reinforcement
ConstructivistBuilding on prior knowledgeTask-orientated
SituativeLearning through social interactionLearning in context
ConnectivistLearning in a networked environment
E-trainingDrill & practiceMobile learning
Inquiry learningResource-based
Experiential Problem-based Role play
Reflective & dialogic learning, Personalised learning
Web 2.0• Interactive rather than Broadcast• Participative rather than a passive receptor• Collaborative rather than a single author
– Wikis, Blogs, Video, Audio, Social Networks…..
• Attention rather than Information is premium
• Tests truth and its application• Context in addition to Contents• Personalised learning – multi-media etc.

It is the connections
that are important
The role of peer support
• Reference• Reinforcement• Recommendation• Resource Co-creation
Communities of Inquiry
• Social Presence– identification within a community with trusted
relationships• Cognitive Presence
– constructing knowledge, discussing, confirming, reflecting
• Teaching Presence– a consistent pedagogical approach to facilitation
of the above to enable worthwhile leaning experiences

E-textbooks• E-tips (e-textbook institutional
publishing services)– Create and distribute two e-textbooks– Supplementary website resources– Investigate their use– Document the production process
• Network the global academy• Print on demand options
Opportunities for further study

OEROpen Access
Creative CommonsCrowd Sourcing
Key Points• Open access to user-generated resources is
changing the way we use information• Use the pedagogy to exploit the affordances of
the educational technology• The learning process is more important than the
ability just to assimilate content• Remain flexible to capitalise on innovation and
the unpredictability of complex adaptive networks
• A key challenge is to learn to share the control of the teaching/learning experience.
