4. Voices
• personalisation, collaboration, informalisation
(Redecker et al, 2011)
• blending of formal & informal learning (Conole,
2013)
• call to open-up, join-up (European Commission,
2013)
• the danger of monocultures (Weller, 2014)
• lifewide curriculum (Jackson, 2014)
• recognising the positive impact of human interaction
for learning and development

5. What did we want to explore...
Can we create an open
learning ecology that
enables learners to
learn with and from
each other in a
supportive
environment using
authentic and inquiry-
based pedagogical
models?
How can we support
open learners
effectively to create the
foundations of a vibrant
learning community?
How can we scale
open CPD through
informal cross-
institutional
collaboration?
Can a facilitator
and mentor
model work to
support
participants?
How can we “run” OER
courses made by others
using rotating collaborative
organising approaches to
extend, join-up offers
that are more sustainable
& democratic?

6. BYOD4L is...
mobile
flexible
collaborative
authentic
autonomous
self-organised
self-determined

supported
registration-free
