It's said that the best way to learn is to teach it. I have learned most of the things through self-initiatives and in collaboration with colleagues by sharing my thoughts and learning from theirs.

11. Recommendations of Kellogg
Commission
• Making lifelong
learning part of the
core public mission
• Creating new kinds
of learning
environments
• Providing public
support for lifelong
learning

12. Principles of Design
• Learning depends wholly on what the
student does; only indirectly on what the
teacher or the university does.
• Analysis of student behaviors begins with
the analysis of the learning task.
• We must not use technology just because
it is available. We must use it when, and
only when, we can see how it will enable
us to do the educational job better.

19. Laws of Prediction
(Arthur C. Clarke, 1973)
"When a distinguished but elderly scientist
states that something is possible, he is almost
certainly right. When he states that something
is impossible, he is very probably wrong"
(p.14)

20. Profiles of the Future
• "The only way of
discovering the limits
of the possible is to
venture a little way
past them into the
impossible" (p.21)
• "Any sufficiently
advanced technology
is indistinguishable
from magic" (p.36)

limits of the possible, New York: Harper & Row.

23. Trends in Learning...
•
Learners moving into a variety of different, possibly unrelated fields
•
Informal learning: gaining prominence
•
Formal education: going backstage?
•
Learning: through communities of practice, personal networks, and
through completion of work-related tasks.
•
Learning is a continual process, lasting for a lifetime.
•
Learning and work related activities are no longer separate. In many
situations, they are the same.
http://www.elearnspace.org/Articles/connectivism.htm

24. Trends in learning...
•
Technology: altering (rewiring) our brains.
•
The tools we use: define and shape our thinking.
•
The organization and the individual: both learning organisms.
•
Processes previously handled by learning theories (especially in
cognitive information processing) can now be off-loaded to, or
supported by, technology.
•
Know-how and know-what is being supplemented with know-where
(the understanding of where to find knowledge needed).

26. Open Educational Resources
At the magnificent Ancient Library of Alexandria (283 BC – 391 AD),
scribes borrowed books from around the known world, copied and
returned them. This provided 'open education resources' to the most
famous thinkers of the world who flocked to Alexandria to study.

27. “We want to build an Alexandria for black
Africa”
In Timbuktu families wrote scrolls to preserve truths and
knowledge in arts, medicine philosophy and science. These
handwritten collections of manuscripts (13th to 20th century)
were passed from generation to generation, creating a resource
with an estimated total of 700 000 works to share with the world.
The North-West University, with its roots in the African continent,
regards the participation in the OERu network as the ideal
opportunity for Africa to once again be a major role player in the
provision of meaningful study opportunities to the “famous
thinkers” of the world.
The stellar work done in Timbuktu bears testimony to the fact
that we Africans know how to preserve and repurpose
educational resources! Under the leadership of Mr Nelson
Mandela, South Africa as a nation became known as a symbol of
reconciliation and sharing. South Africans know how to share and
work together today to create a better world for tomorrow.
The North-West University, as a provider of higher education,
participated in the building of a democratic South Africa and
knows that we have both the experience and will to make a
meaningful contribution to see the mandate of the OERu
realised."
