8. Interactions
• Interactive learning (learner-to-
content)
•Networked learning (learner-to-
learner; learner-to-teacher)
•Learner-generated content
(learner-as-designers).
•Connected students (knowledge is
in the network)
•Learning-oriented assessment
(assessment-as-learning).

9. Guiding Pedagogies

10. Guiding Pedagogies
• Authentic learning
• Authentic assessment
• Personalised learning
• Peer learning

11. Authentic Learning
• …require students to complete
complex real-world tasks over a
period of time in collaboration
with others as they would in a real
setting or workplace (Herrington,
2006)

12. Authentic Assessment
• Empowering the learner by engaging
them in assessment tasks that
simulate or engage the learner in
real-life situations.
• “Engaging and worthy problems
or questions of importance, in
which students must use
knowledge to fashion performances
effectively and creatively”
(Wiggins, 1993, p. 229).

13. Personalised Learning
• Learning pathways
• ePortfolios
• The knowledge, skills and attitudes
that enable learning and act as a
catalyst to empower the learner to
continue to learn (Keppell, 2015)

16. Peer Learning
• Students teaching and learning
from each other.
• Sharing ideas, knowledge and
experiences
• Emphasises interdependent as
opposed to independent learning
(Boud, 2001).
