Students become teachers and
multimedia producers

21. “One thing I really liked about this course and felt was something
that would be useful in other courses too is the use of a class wiki.
It was a good place to go, and it was nice to be able to edit on a
collaborative site than have a set page. It was also good to be able
to put up interesting information and be trusted with the
opportunity to administer the site. It also helped build a sense
of responsibility and collective understanding. It exposed me to a lot
of new ideas that I otherwise wouldn’t have learned.”

learning resources

29. “The student develops and produces learning resources as part of
her/his learning process. She/he has access to a great range of
learning reso urces, learning objects, that might be used to build
new products as part of the learning process. The student refines
them and bring s them to her/his personal portfolio (e-portfolio).
The content of he r/his portfolio is shared with other students. The
conten t is easily accessible as learning objects or as
materials for future studies and for future jobs.”

The social network as learning environment

31. For 3000 years education has made the learner adapt to
the system. SocialLearn aims to reverse this and make the
education system adapt to the learner. SocialLearn is a
project initiated by The Open University to combine the best
of the values and approaches found in the new social web
technologies with those of higher education. This will create
new modes of recognised and supported learning
experiences for a wide clientele.
