This paper defines and examines three generations of distance education pedagogy. Unlike earlier classifications of distance education based on the technology used, this analysis focuses on the pedagogy that defines the learning experiences encapsulated in the learning design. The three generations of cognitive-behaviourist, social constructivist, and connectivist pedagogy are examined, using the familiar community of inquiry model (Garrison, Anderson, & Archer, 2000) with its focus on social, cognitive, and teaching presences. Although this typology of pedagogies could also be usefully applied to campus-based education, the need for and practice of openness and explicitness in distance education content and process makes the work especially relevant to distance education designers, teachers, and developers. The article concludes that high-quality distance education exploits all three generations as determined by the learning content, context, and learning expectations.

Interesting idea designed to codify pedagogy and encourage discussions about teaching values. That last bit reminds me of Auckland Uni's Heart project.

Mark Brown rants about "...yet another attempt to place 'pedagogy in a box' in the context of technology-enhanced learning."

Guerrilla Pedagogy: A Hit-and-Run Guide to Mobile, Open-Source, Aggregated Course Design

The purpose of this e-book is to explore the use of mobile devices in learning in higher education, and to provide examples of good pedagogy. We are sure that the rich variety of examples of mobile learning found in this book will provide the reader with the inspiration to teach their own subjects and courses in ways that employ mobile devices in authentic and creative ways. This book is made up of a collection of double blind peer-reviewed chapters written by participants in the project New technologies, new pedagogies: Using mobile technologies to develop new ways of teaching and learning.

"During the fall of 1999,  two colleagues and I taught an unusual class, 'The American Experience in Vietnam.'   Neither the subject nor the approach of team-teaching were new; instead what we developed was a pedagogy using a variety of information technologies to organize one class simultaneously across three campuses and disciplines."

Links to various articles:   "The German tradition of social pedagogy has become associated with social work. This tends to obscure its educational credentials as 'education for sociality', particularly to English-language readers. Here we explore its history and current status."

Presentation introducing faculty to Athabasca University's social networking system (based on elgg?). I particularly like slide 10 showing a fourth integrative pedagogy.

Landing is an Elgg install (currently v1.7.7). Brighton University also have (had?) an elgg install, open for staff and students to create whatever communities they wanted. Noticed that New Zealand Ministry of Education is also an Elgg user (according to Elgg site)

Rapid change means we need to work differently. HE Teachers should understand some learning theory!
