The plan:• whizz through some theory, in order to position some
emergent examples;• to take and discuss some matters arising;• to look at some DMU examples, and discuss
possibilities;• to take and discuss any matters arising.
So: use the chat function; tweet @hallymk1; or put your hand-up.
N.B. There are no dumb questions.

a life-wide curriculum is the most appropriate concept for a higher education experience that sets out to help students develop themselves for a lifetime of learning in an infinitely complex ever changing world
Jackson, 2008

PREMISE: a need for “learning in an infinitely complex ever changing world” or dealing with disruption
ISSUES: does social media help us to deal with disruption? [economy, environment, cloud, social relations/values, techno-determinism]
POSSIBILITIES: resilience; post-digital; co-governance

Caveats
a tendency for both teachers and learners to ‘rein in’ these potentially radical and challenging effects of the new media formations, to control and constrain them within more orthodox understandings of authorship, assessment, collaboration and formal learning
Hemmi et al., JCAL, 25(1), 2009
educational technology as a profoundly social, cultural and political concern

Resilience
Rob Hopkins: Transition Culture
“the capacity of a system to absorb disturbance and reorganise while undergoing change, so as to retain essentially the same function, structure, identity and feedbacks”
Systemic diversity, modularity, feedback

Resilience
we have a choice between reliance on government and its resources, and its approach to command and control, or developing an empowering day-to-day community resilience. Such resilience develops engagement, education, empowerment and encouragement
Political action or civil action? [DEMOS, nef]

Towards post-digital relationshipsLLiDA report (2009)
there is a tension between recognising an ‘entitlement’ to basic digital literacy, and recognising technology practice as diverse and constitutive of personal identity, including identity in different peer, subject and workplace communities, and individual styles of participation
Literacies emerge through authentic, well-designed tasks in meaningful contexts

• exploration through personal technology : MoLeNet
• exploration through personal contexts/spaces: PLEs a growth model
• exploration through personal identity: This Is Me; Visitors and Residents
• exploration through personal outcomes: mixing affective and cognitive via digital story-telling and portfolios
Towards co-governance

PREMISE: a need for “learning in an infinitely complex ever changing world” or dealing with disruption
OPPORTUNITY: Beyond current horizons• Principles: challenge assumptions; people not
technologies; values and politics; responsibilities• a ‘curriculum for networked learning’; open, flexible and
networked relationships; a mentoring and networking workforce; public forums for debate
Facer and Sandford JCAL, 26(1), 2010

Towards co-governance: the curriculum
1. Mentoring/students as guides
• Game Art Design: mentoring and co-creation
• Peer-mentoring: story-telling between students
![Page 18: Can technology help us realize the learning potential of a life-wide curriculum? Towards a curriculum for resilience](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070302/547b039cb47959a4098b4d13/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Towards co-governance: the curriculum
2. Curriculum learning environments
• Integrated learning in History
• Leading and Managing at a Distance
• The Virtual Lab in HLS
![Page 19: Can technology help us realize the learning potential of a life-wide curriculum? Towards a curriculum for resilience](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070302/547b039cb47959a4098b4d13/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Towards co-governance: the curriculum
3. Life-wide reward for students
• UCPD [WBL] for Placement students in PCS
• Social Media Development @ DMU
![Page 20: Can technology help us realize the learning potential of a life-wide curriculum? Towards a curriculum for resilience](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070302/547b039cb47959a4098b4d13/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Curriculum: towards co-governance?• Reclaiming innovation within traditional, safe paradigms• Is it possible to develop a curriculum modelled upon
personal integration and social enquiry?• What do we know about the specific strategies that are
deployed by learners using social software?• Do we risk promoting ‘digital dissonance’?• Are there sources of frustration, lack of skills and lack of
opportunity for some?

Matters arising: towards a programme of work
• Strategic: how does edtech enable your educational and social values?
• Institutional: how do you address differential experience, expertise, demand and workloads?
• Professional: how does edtech underpin professional identity?
• Learner: how do you make and act upon good-enough decisions?
Think people, tech, data, policy, process, outcomes, benefits, projects

The institution and social media
• How open are you? • How does this impact your social relations?• How does this impact the management, admin and
delivery of your curriculum?• Are the technologies/data that support your curriculum
sufficiently diverse and modular?• How do you work beyond silos and manage
complexity?• Do you reward and recognise innovation?
