26. I can see a day in the not too

30. Learning Space Literacies
nLearning space literacies
are the knowledge, skills
and attitudes that are
required to recognise,
utilise and adapt
distributed learning
spaces so that they allow
the personalised learner to
engage with their learning
(Keppell, 2014).

31. Learning-oriented Assessment
Assessment
tasks as learning
tasks
Student
involvement in
assessment
processes
Forward-looking
feedback

32. Forward-looking Feedback
nFeedback should be less
final and judgemental
(Boud, 1995)
nFeedback should be more
interactive and forward-
looking (Carless, 2002;
Keppell 2005)
nFeedback should be timely
and with a potential to be
acted upon (Gibbs &
Simpson, 2004)
32

37. Lifelong & Life-wide
Learning
n Encompasses both formal
and informal learning,
self-motivated learning..
(Watson, 2003).
n Life-wide learning
“contains many parallel
and interconnected
journeys and
experiences...”
n (Jackson, 2010, p. 492).
37

38. E-portfolios
n Space for personal learning
n Populated by the learner
n Supports learning not assessment
n For life-long and life–wide
learning
n Able to present multiple stories
of learning
n Access is controlled by the

40. New Mindsets

41. 25
Interactive learning (learner-to-content)
Networked learning (learner-to-learner;
learner-to-teacher)
Student-generated content (learner-as-
designers).
Connected students (knowledge is in the
network)
Learning-oriented assessment
(assessment-as-learning) (Keppell, 2014).
Teaching Mindsets

42. Institutional Mindsets
n Privileging mobile
learning and teaching
access
n Embedding digital
literacies into all aspects
of curriculum, learning,
teaching and assessment.
n Privileging diverse
places of learning as
opposed to a singular
place of learning
42

43. Institutional Mindsets
n Assisting teachers and
learners to develop
their own personalised
learning strategy
n Privileging user-
generated content
n New forms of
assessment that are
more learning-oriented
