FOCUS AND FIT TO CALL
Research agenda
* Models of informal learning in the world of open education.
Sustainability
* Sustainability models for open educational resources.
* Methods for embedding open content in education.
Start where we finished in our original submission and tackle the research agenda. We should use the content of the presentation as a starting point. In the original submission we said:
“The agenda is not about technology use per se. It is about contextualising learning before it is supported with technology. Nonetheless the issues we have highlighted have been prompted by thinking about the affordances and potentials of a range of technologies and practice; web 2.0, m-learning, participative media, learning design and learning space design. In order to develop a research agenda for future research and development we propose that the following three questions provide a useful focus:
1. How can we facilitate the development of context-based models as the organising principle for designing learning?
2. How should we re-conceptualise the relationship between informal learning and formal education?
3. How can we integrate the roles of learners as consumers and producers in the learning process?”
LENGTH 4000-7000 words
Introduction, background and the need for a sustainable research agenda – Rose using what we already have written
Section1 How can we facilitate the development of context-based models as the organizing principle for designing learning?
To include theory, pedagogy, etc. etc.
Drew and Rose (possibly Nigel, see note below*)
Section 2 How should we re-conceptualise the relationship between informal learning and formal education?
To include relevant literature and perspective from both formal and informal
Fred and Judy
Examples –John Cook, Peter, Jon Akass, Tom (possibly Nigel, see note below*)
Section 4 How can we recognize and evaluate an LGC?
To include and take forward what we said in the presentation
Rose, John Cook, Jon Akass, Wilma, Fred
Conclusions – all (Rose can start ball rolling)
Note – Nigel has offered to re-configure Hilda’s model with learner at centre and learner tool/activities. I think this fist in section 3 as an example, but it may fit in section 1 so I suggest we leave that open until we have written some text and have it on the wiki to get a sense of the document.
