Why?“Learning is acollaborative,
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
Volume ofinformation;Sources of
information;Authority ofinformation
Informal sharing &
collaboration networks

and organisational

“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.
