  • I’m not a Constructivist, Behaviourist, Cognitivist, or Connectivist. This is not a call for a return to an older theory. I’m a pragmatist, like many educators. I flirt outrageously with every theory that will have me. I’m ideologically promiscuous.

Emergent learning and interactive media artworks: Parameters of interaction for novice ... - 0 views

  • Emergent learning describes learning that occurs when participants interact and distribute knowledge, where learning is self-directed, and where the learning destination of the participants is largely unpredictable (Williams, Karousou, & Mackness, 2011).
  • However, the question remains whether institutional frameworks can accommodate the opposing notion of “cooperative systems” (Shirky, 2005),
  • We build upon Williams et al.’s framework of emergent learning, where “content will not be delivered to learners but co-constructed with them” (De Freitas & Conole, as cited in Williams et al., 2011, p. 40), and the notion that in constructing emergent learning environments “considerable effort is required to ensure an effective balance between openness and constraint” (Williams et al., 2011, p. 39)

    Builds on an extends the previous article on emergent learning and applies it to analysing an assessment item within a first-year media arts education course. It uses/develops a matrix that is proposed as being useful for figuring out how to design emergent learning.

  • The paper argues that although social networking media increase the potential range and scope for emergent learning exponentially, considerable effort is required to ensure an effective balance between openness and constraint.

  • Both these examples illustrate how students are taking control of their learning with the result that many currently perceived novices are actually becoming silent experts in how, where, and by whom they want to be educated (Alexander, 2003; Schmidt et al., 2009, on the emergence of peer-to-peer interaction)

      I'm personally not sure how widespread this practice is? There is a significant rise in student created Facebook groups around courses.

    A reading I might set for week 6 - but perhaps only for a skim. Might be worth a skim anyway. But you do need to make your own call on this.
