In this keynote for Anglia Ruskin University's Digifest 2016 I introduced the idea that a convergence of emerging digital contexts is creating a tipping point in understanding the hybrid learning space. This changes the relationships we have with our students and signals at last that digital lifewide learning shifts the balance from a teaching or content-centred paradigm to learning paradigm.
The implications are staff and students need to learning the literacies of this connectivist learning environment.

Learning
• Media Enhanced Learning Special Interest Group (MELSIG)
• Digital Voices – learner-generated digital audio for learning
• Smart Learning – learner-generated context of smart
devices

5. Google Jockey
• Google Jockey?
• 3 minutes only!
• Everyone to have a ‘good enough’ understanding
• Have you got a sense of what it is? How?
• 2 more minutes!
• Take a position – think about what it might mean
• I want you to be confident and ready to defend or attack
what is suggests
• From a standing start… the basis for learning
Stop watch
6. The digital hybrid learning space: ubiquity and pervasion
Paradigm shift or tipping point
• No longer a ‘technology as deficit’ discourse
• but… digital fluency through ubiquitous and pervasive behaviour
• Ubiquity = enabled everywhere (‘everyware’)
• Pervasive = in everything we do
7. Learning ecology: lifewide and lifelong learning identity
“an open system, dynamic and
independent, diverse, partially
self-organizing, and adaptive.”
- John Seely Brown (1999, p.3)
“the set of contexts found in
physical or virtual spaces that
provide opportunities for
learning,”
- Barron (2006, p. 195)
“an environment that fosters
and supports the formation of
communities and networks.
- George Siemens (2003)
“an individual’s …processes and
contexts, relationships,
networks, interactions, tools,
technologies and activities
[providing] …opportunities and
resources for learning,
development and
achievement.“
- Norman Jackson (2016, p.2)
Learning isn’t a simple transaction
It’s an outcome of context

8. Learning ecology: lifewide and lifelong learning identity
Digital lifewide
“… valuing and recognising
learning and development
gained through life experience,
universities and colleges can
greatly enhance individuals'
preparedness for learning
through the rest of their life.”

9. Dynamism: currency and authenticity
Given Context Generated
Discover Knowledge Make

Meta
Based on Anderson & Krathwohl’s Revised Blooms Taxonomy (2001)
Learning with knowledge in a changing context
10. Digital ontology: extending our authentic reach
crossing spatial, temporal and personal-professional boundaries
Four ways to categorise of authentic learning,
• real-world problems that engage learners
in the work of professionals;
• inquiry activities that practice thinking
skills and metacognition;
• discourse among a community of learners;
and
• student empowerment through choice

11. Active Classroom
• Learner-centred
• Contextualise and concrete (John Seely Brown)
• Authentic and inductive (not seductive/reductive)
• Work that matters to the student (Jerome Bruner)
• Disrupted formality (experiential)
• Connected, boundless and risky
• Adaptable
• Functional space - responsive furniture, technology
12. Emergence of the Non-formal – Are we attending our students?
Is anyone worried about attendance?

others to generate new ideas, develop and value networks through continual
engagement in different spaces.
Remix
The expectation of divergence, that networked nodes redirect trains of thought.
Awareness, consideration and negotiation of risks associated with sharing your practice
and navigating different networks and spaces. Recognition that connection also means
disconnection.

being open in practice and seeing learning as open-ended and
authentic
• SOLE – disruptive convergence means understanding the implications
of the whole picture

The digital learning space has been understood as something ‘other’ and virtual, and therefore not real – a space set apart from our physical spaces with its particular challenges and opportunities.
Drawing upon case studies from current research into innovative academic practice and future learning spaces, this keynote will consider our roles as academics in the ‘post-digital’ age (52 Group, 2009). Here the digital is pervasive, technologies are ubiquitous and content is accessible and dynamic. We will consider the digital space not only as an extension to the physical space, but as a dimension of a seamlessly integrated learning world which can liberate and enrich the ways our students and graduates learn, live and work now and into the future.
This world view of a connected lifewide and lifelong learning space suggests that the roles of the academic and the university are being disrupted by knowledge and content that is dynamic, open and authentic; technology that is provided by the learner and the worker; classrooms that are boundless, mobile and site specific; learning that is networked rather than hierarchical; and, media that is rich and user-generated. In all this disruption, what is certain is that learning can be vibrant, social, and rich in experience and that the role of the agile academic is even more essential than ever.
We will consider what it means to extend our digital reach to cross spatial, temporal and personal-professional boundaries. We will identify challenges to wellbeing and personal security, and we will reveal possibilities for actively engaging our students in learning that matters, wherever they are. Underpinning this, we will review the digital competencies we need to ensure that we are agile and ready to sustain the supportive and guiding relationships that define learning and teaching at university.

John Seely Brown (1999, p.3) defined the concept of ecology as being about “shaping chaos” and meaning “an open system, dynamic and independent, diverse, partially self-organizing, and adaptive.” For Barron (2006, p. 195) learning ecology is useful for understanding the complexity and significance of learning spaces. It is the “set of contexts found in physical or virtual spaces that provide opportunities for learning,” which may include formal, informal, and non-formal settings. Jackson (2016, p.2) explains that, “an individual’s learning ecology comprises their processes and contexts, relationships, networks, interactions, tools, technologies and activities that provide them with opportunities and resources for learning, development and achievement."
Siemens (2003), in relation to Connectivism, describes a learning ecology as an environment that fosters and supports the formation of communities and networks. This situates Connectivism in a context of lifewide and lifelong learning, unbounded by time or place, but given the context of network. It is key to Cormier’s expression of Rhizomatic learning in which socially situated learners find their ways through complex, multidimensional and unique learning contexts.

student-centred - involving the learner working co-operatively (i.e. alongside peers in a supportive relationship) and collaboratively (i.e. with peers addressing assigned problems together) with the facilitation of their teacher;
authentic and inductive- using real world situations and methods to provide context, meaning and structure to activities and tasks;
boundless - involving open-ended problems creating challenging, creative and rewarding experiences that connect with other domains;
adaptable - the learning community adapts the space physically and digitally over the period of study to support its changing pattern and stages;
connected – supporting learning relationships and knowledge within the space, aligned to the space (e.g. services), and external contexts (e.g. learning networks, work, public sphere);
functional – incorporating furniture and digital technologies that respond seamlessly to the needs of the learning community (i.e. personal and provided technologies interoperate; chairs and tables are light, robust and reconfigurable; audio visual facilities, network connectivity and storage meet the challenging demands of active user-producers).

What happens when we start to bring some of these innovative ideas together?
It is not about adding ideas – it is about multiplying. The multiplier effect – 1+1=3 AND one thing leads to another, proliferation and exponential growth in impact
Either,
Noticing connections, or
Making connections
David Wiley has 5 Rs so I added Retain- see http://opencontent.org/blog/archives/3221
“Retain – the right to make, own, and control copies of the content” – that is so masculine!
So we could simplify it as…?
Reuse –Pro-actively open to connection in practice
Revise – Pro-actively open to revision of context
Remix – Pro-actively open to collaboration and collegial scholarship
Redistribute - Pro-actively facilitating connections that precipitate further growth/learning/knowledge
Retain – Pro-actively open to re-interpretation, multiplication and divergent ‘knowledges’
Kathrine: I am not clear what this means: “Awareness, consideration and negotiation of risks associated with sharing your practice and navigating different networks and spaces. Recognition that connection also means disconnection.“ – is it the rhizomatic divergent point?
Wiley:
The 5Rs of Openness
– Retain – the right to make, own, and control copies of the content– Reuse – the right to use the content in a wide range of ways (e.g., in a class, in a study group, on a website, in a video)– Revise – the right to adapt, adjust, modify, or alter the content itself (e.g., translate the content into another language)– Remix – the right to combine the original or revised content with other open content to create something new (e.g., incorporate the content into a mashup)– Redistribute – the right to share copies of the original content, your revisions, or your remixes with others (e.g., give a copy of the content to a friend)
