Learning and Knowledge maturing
We are at present undergoing a deep and prolonged industrial
revolution based on digital technologies
Changing the way we live, the way we produce things, the way we communicate,
the way we learn
and the way we develop
and share knowledg

Learning is a process of becoming rather than a
process of acquiringStephen Downes
Learning is a process of sense making and
valuesTo learn is to
instantiate patterns of connectivity in the mind (in the neural
net)
The Old Transmission Model
The way networks learn is the way people learn…
• they are both complex systems• the organization of each depends on connections
Connectivism (George Siemens)
Stephen Downes
• Learner centered
Learning is centered around the interests of the learner
Learning is owned by the learner
This implies learner choice of subjects, materials, learning styles
The Concept
Stephen Downes
• Immersive learning
Learning by doing
Stephen Downes
Connected Learning
The computer connects the student to the rest of the worldLearning occurs through connections with other learnersLearning is based on conversation and interaction
Stephen Downes
The reaction of education systems and institutions to the rise of social networking has been at best
bewilderment, at worst downright hostility
a refusal to engage in these issues risks school becoming increasingly irrelevant to the everyday lives of many young
people
and particularly irrelevant to the ways in which
they communicate and share knowledge
Web 2.0 allows young people to be active co-creators of knowledge
We have to review the industrial schooling model including the organisation of institutions and
pedagogy and curriculum
and, above all, systems
of assessment which fail to
support learning
Personal Learning Environments are based on the idea that learning will
take place in different contexts and situations and
will not be provided by a single learning provider
the idea of a Personal Learning Environment
recognises that learning is continuing and seeks to
provide tools to support that learning
Using whatever tools and devices which the learners
choose
It also recognises the role of the individual in organising their own
learning
PLEs can help in the recognition of informal
learning
The promise of Personal Learning Environments
could be to extend access to educational
technology to everyone who wishes to organise
their own learning.
the PLE will challenge the existing education systems
and institutions
PLEs and the institutionS
