Agency and activity are required to
thrive in a semi-autonomous learning environment mainly distributed on the
Cloud, outside the scope of institutional educational support. It was clear from
the research that learners have their own ideas on what type of activities
would suit them, their life styles and their confidence levels, and the
majority chose to be involved in aggregating, ‘remixing’ and sharing of
information, without getting involved in the creative production stage.
However, the majority of participants believed that the creative production of
digital artifacts by some learners, and the discussions that followed on the
network, inspired them in the development of ideas and in their learning.
