continuous, connected and community-based’

growth mindset.”*

*Dan Pontefract – Flat Army: Creating a connected and engaged organisation

The “speed of need” has accelerated

Technology has / hasn’t helped – its made more (learning) available

It’s unavoidable

Welcome toPervasivelearning

Whatis it?

It’s not ina box

(or the LMS)

Pervasivelearning

Omnipresent..Continuous!

Where does it happen?

How does it happen?

Pervasive technology

Myriad forms

Dan Pontefract, defines pervasive learning as:

“learning at the speed of need

Through formal, informal and

social learning modalities”

and illustrates this as …

He advocates the 3:33 model

The 3:33 model is equal parts of formal, informal & social learning

Informal learning = 66% or 90%

Conducive environment = learning opportunities= pervasive learning

Pervasive Learning – the challenges

collaboration networks

“The greater value of education for every

student is not in learning the information but in learning

the skills they need to successfully find, consume,

think about and apply it in their lives.”

Learners are in a permanent state of learning

The culture and behaviour of

the organisation, departments and

groups can be varied e.g. Finance v/s Sales

Participation is key,‘useful’ resources that

support performance is the best way of

building this

Are you capturing

‘best practice’?

Collaboration and sharing allow an instant exchange of ideas, problem solving and consultation.

FREE tools like Skype, instant messenger, chat and collaborative platforms like

Linked In and Yammer facilitate this exchange

5 moments of opportunity (need)* and how we tend to address them..

*Dr. Conrad Gottfredson - Ontuitive

Think about it!

Do you encourage external collaboration?

Is social media access enabled? Linked In? Twitter? Facebook?

Use mobile technology? Tablets?

User created content as part of your learning?

Don’t stop beinga ‘learner’

We must be the ‘tour guides’ to direct , guide and ensure

that we keep learning to KEEP LEARNING!*

*Me

We must build the Bodleian, the Louvre’s and

the Smithsonian’s of learning

Our role and mission must be as catalysts

of learning.
