“Heutagogy is the study of self-determined learning and applies a holistic approach to developing learner capabilities with the learner serving as the major agent in their own learning, which occurs, as a result of personal experience
(HASE & KENYON, 2007, P. 112)

Why should you be interested?
Addresses many of the challenges faced by education today: The workforce needs lifelong learning and lifelong
learners Students need to learn how to learn and develop
critical thinking skills Schools can’t teach everything; learners need to
learn to learn More institutions moving toward learner-centered
learning and competency-based education Aligns well with affordances of today’s
technology

Benefits of heutagogy
Improves critical thinking and reflection Increases learner engagement and motivation Gives learners more control over learning (learner-centered) Improves ability of learners to investigate and question ideas – and apply
knowledge in practical situations Supports development of independent ideas and self-confidence Makes learners more capable and able to adapt to new environments Better prepares them for the complexities of the workforce

Key Elements of Heutagogical Design
Explore
Collab-orate
Connect
Reflect
Learner
Share
Create
Learner-centeredness
We need to inspire learners to learn again.
Develop learner autonomy
Discover what motivates your learners Identify learners’ level of autonomy and
adjust accordingly Learner questionnaires and contracts Learner-directed questions and discussions
Focus on teaching learners how to learn
Let learners create and play… and fail
Nurture a growth mindset Project-based learning Inquiry learning Problem-based learning
Incorporate activities for self-reflection, self- and information-discovery, and experimentation
Learning journals Visual story-telling
Encourage reflection
Build learner skills while allowing them to determine and reflect on their learning path Scaffolding of learning activities to create frameworks for
learning/discovery Learner-directed questions Action research
Empower learners to collaborate/create
Build learning environments for creative expression
Open learning spaces Maker spaces
Incorporate group exercises and collaborative assessment
Collaborative group work Communities of practice
Build skills and competencies
Support development of personal knowledge management, digital literacy, and social collaboration skills Skill building activities Social networking and collaboration tools Gaming
Promote self-efficacy (Ritchie, 2015) Articulate goals Set parameters
Allow learners to define success
Assess learner achievement by negotiating the assessment process and making curriculum flexible Formative assessment Learning contracts Self-assessment and peer-assessment
Use open learning environments
Choose a learning environment that supports free and open learning MOOC (xMOOCs, cMOOCs, project-based
MOOCS, open boundary courses) Communities of practice (CoPs) and
community networks Bibblio (http://bibblio.org)
What does this have to do with PLEs?

CoPs
Learners design and create their own PLEs.
We provide learning environments and give learners to tools to make those environments their own.
HOLISTIC. PERSONALIZED. CONTEXTUAL.
