3. The terms social media and social software have
been used synonymously. Social media is an online
environment opened for the purposes of mass
collaboration; all invited participants can create, post,
rate, enhance, discover, consume, and share content
without a direct intermediary.
Websites and applications dedicated to forums,
microblogging, social networking, social
bookmarking, social curation, and wikis are among the
different types of social media.
4. “Pedagogy is leading people to a place
where they can learn for themselves. It is
about creating environments and situations
where people can draw out from within
themselves, and hone the abilities they
already have, to create their own knowledge,
interpret the world in their own unique ways,
and ultimately realise their full potential as
human beings.”
Steve Wheeler
5. “Pedagogical innovation is
significant positive change to the way that we
lead people to a place where they can learn for
themselves.”
These tools may include educational goals
set by the student and teacher, strategies or
styles of instruction, the educator’s own
philosophical beliefs, the student’s background
knowledge and experience, the curriculum,
modern technological devices, monitoring and
test system and others.
6. In this context Innovative
Pedagogy is the study of being an
innovative educator or the processes of
innovative education/teaching. And the
key question of Innovative Pedagogy is
- What are the educational,
psychological, organizational
factors/conditions that have a
formative utmost effect on the mind,
character, or physical ability of an
individual….
7. Here are main steps of thinking on
innovative process construction –
1. What is desirable for users (both students
and future employers)?
2. What is possible with curriculum and
technology?
3. What is viable at educational market?
4. What is beneficial for the community?
5. What is sustainable for our environment
8. The role of teachers has shifted from being
a subject matter expert who transmits
information to acting as a facilitator of
student learning in the knowledge society.
Current reforms emphasize teachers
develop students' capabilities in problem
solving, teamwork, and learning to learn,
reflective thinking.
9. • Ensuring early involvement of key stakeholders including
students, educators, instructional designers, technical
development team, Library services, and help desk support
• Evaluation of the initiative at various stages of the design
and development life cycle to ensure that the requirements of
different stakeholders are being met
• Iterative design and evaluation of the initiative so that the
student experience is captured, analysed and incorporated in
the re-design or improvement of the initiative
• Evidence-based empirical investigation of the initiative
resulting in practical outcomes such as guidelines,
frameworks, processes, etc. that encompass the overall
student experience and which can be taken up by colleagues
in other disciplines in their own initiatives.
