A presentation by Katerina Avramides (an outline)

Knowledge Validation

Knowledge Validation and Technology

An Educational Perspective

The Learner-Generated Challenge

An Example

Presentation (power point slides)

Yes technology does proliferate non-knowledge!
But what is knowledge validation?
From an educational perspective what is the challenge of learner-generated?
"learners need to construct knowledge whilst also learning how to construct it" - what questions to ask?

Learners need support
Technology can help; what role can it provide?
Gives initiative to learner
BUT need a conception of learning
Example from HE-Psychology: given a start question, add information as nodes to get to the answer.
Are they sources of information or are they thinking processes they have to go through?
The example shows how a learning path can scaffold a learning process so that the learner has deeper understanding of the subject they are working through.
This created a debate on what the presentation was saying.

Katerina; you need to scaffold the learning process with tools so that learners understand what knowledge construction is
