15. Resource based Learning
Motivated by the observation that the teaching assistants who worked on creating
hypertexts learned more than the students who did the courses using them!
Rather than go to the library and write a report/essay –
take a corpus of documents and organise them and thread a narrative through
them using hypertext.

of Constructivism and

26. Digital Natives (??)
Computers are not technology – just part of life
Gravitate towards collaborative activity
Prefer Nintendo approach to learning (trial and error)
Multitasking is a way of life
Typing preferred to handwriting
Stay connected
The Internet is better than TV
Zero tolerance for delays

31. The Personal Learning Environment
@HughDavis
Inaugural Lecture
Digital “residents” create their own toolsets
• Manage their learning
• Set their own goals
• Manage content
• Communicate and
collaborate with
other learners
and (micro)tutors

38. My Point is….
• Literacy in the Virtual World is a complex thing
• The curriculum must provide opportunities and
@HughDavis
experiences that develop these skills, use
authentic tools and grow PLNs

We are running a Digital Literacies
Programme to help both staff and
students
• develop their digital profile
• extend their Personal networks
• evaluate tools for their needs
41. Regarding MOOCs which statement closest
matches your position
A. MOOCs? What are they?
B. Heard of them. Never done one
C. I had a go at one or two – doesn’t
work for me
D. I’ve done a few – helpful
E. I’m a MOOC addict
42. What is a MOOC?
Massive - some have 10,000s registered.
Open = free
Short (often 4-8 weeks, 3 hrs /week)
No formal assessment and feedback
Video, reading and collaborative activities
Online although many have a parallel blended incarnation
Course - that runs at a given time with a given cohort
(but not necessarily accredited for anything)

53. My point is …
MOOCs are a phase on the way to us understanding how to do online
learning better
MOOCs are not about to displace “place-based” Universities
(although they may change our behaviours)
@HughDavis

In future learning will be much more on-line

57. The Future of Learning - with the Web
@HughDavis
Inaugural Lecture
Increased student engagement e.g.
Flipped Classroom
Increased collaboration – and open
learning
More online learning (particularly
post-grad)
More emphasis on
doing/making/creating and less on
imitating
Institute for Learning
Innovation and Development
Less emphasis on
“remembering/knowing” and more on
“knowing how to find out”
Curriculum helping students to learn
skills needed for employment in the
virtual world
57
We are preparing students for jobs that don’t yet exist, using work-practices
we don’t yet know supported by tools not yet invented.
