2. Voices
• ecological university (Barnett, 2011)
• 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
3. 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?
60. The collaborative #byod4l poem
In the digital jungle
Reaching out into the chaotic, swirling abyss
Feeling that e-learning can be so hit and miss
I want to avoid device apathy and neglect
But what does it mean to really connect?
So onwards we go
But where, do we know?
Wouldn’t it be great?
If we all started to communicate
Curating a task, can be quite unfamiliar,
belonging in museums, art galleries and similar.
With mobile devices we curate a different way
Sharing resources with scoop it and mendeley
Five brief days, so short and sweet
In Twitter and Google we gathered to meet
Inspired to explore, discuss and create
Minds now expanded; an enlightened state
Knowledge isn’t just facts
Or historical acts
Its cerebral energy we state
When we start to create
But this isn’t the end!
We now each have a valuable PLN to tend
Our #BYOD4L community will continue to grow
Help us reach out to let others know
