This document discusses the history and development of open and emergent learning approaches. It outlines key developments including: - The need for more open and participatory education models like Summerhill School in the 1920s. - The convergence of digital technologies in the 1970s and their potential to disrupt existing education models. - The creation of the World Wide Web in the 1990s and how it enabled open sharing of knowledge and participatory learning. - Developments in open educational resources and open courseware in the 2000s that helped make learning more open and accessible. - The proposal of "WikiQuals" in 2012 as a model of open and post-hoc accreditation of learning based on
WikiQuals and Open Learning
- 1. WikiQuals #Open #Learning Lab @fredgarnett http://bit.ly/WQAbout
- 2. In an Internet of people An Internet of People British Council Lecture 2011 @BenHammersleysaid that “network society cannot be born” Because people who grew up in hierarchies are still in power
- 3. If we want an Open Society Summerhill School;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Summerhill_School Digital Disruption; http://www.slideshare.net/fredgarnett/we-are-digital We need open participatory education like Summerhill school and the Democratic schools movement. But only 53 democratic schools exist in Europe Disruptive Collaboration is here, the web is a platform, users-generate content, mobile phone cameras document everything, new technology is sold as being creative, but it hasn‟t disrupted educational institutions.
- 4. In 1921 our most radical year, Kondratieff; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kondratiev_wave Next 2021; http://heutagogicarchive.wordpress.com/next-2021/ NIACE were formed in the UK calling for education for all, from which educational broadcasting, with the BBC, emerged Kondratieff in Moscow, wrote about long-wave economic change (50 years) based around „meta-technologies‟ Our meta-technology, the micro-processor is due to reach its transformational peak in 2021
- 5. 1971 welcomed the microprocessor Intel 4004; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_4004 Convergence; Intel 4004 was a new meta-technology. Earlier meta-technologies had evolved into new analogue networks; rail, road, air, telephone, radio with their own system „mission‟ Digital technologies however can also replace earlier analogue technologies, and enable technological convergence. Convergence is far more socially transformational as it can disrupt existing economic patterns built around old technologies
- 6. In 1660 sharing ideas changed Royal Society; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal_Society Creative Commons; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Creative_Commons The Royal Society was formed in the UK beginning the movement for open publishing. The standard by which scientific thought has (mostly) developed, egos aside, ever since. Creative Commons applied the idea of open publishing to the copyright era in 2001, enabling web-based sharing of content, like this presentation
- 7. In 1992 the Internet Society Internet Society; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_Society World Wide Web; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Wide_Web The Internet Society wrote its mission “We envision a future in which people in all parts of the world can use the Internet to improve their quality of life, because standards, technologies, business practices, and government policies sustain an open and universally accessible platform for innovation, creativity, and economic opportunity” As Ted Nelson had predicted with Xanadu (1960) Tim Berners-Lee finally invented the World Wide Web &digital convergence became possible online.
- 8. In 2002 the Web went participative What is Web 2.0?; http://oreilly.com/web2/archive/what-is-web-20.html
- 9. Convergence had a platform Open Ed Resources; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_educational_resources UNESCO Paris July 2012 DeclarationNLN.AC.UK Education got excited (kind of), David Wiley defined Open Content (1998) MIT launched Open Course Ware (2001) an open version of the 2000 UK FERL „learning objects‟ project (now open www.nln.ac.uk) UNESCO defined OER; Open Education Resources in 2002 and updated that with the UNESCO Paris July 2012 Declaration
- 10. In 2007 OU launched Open Learn Open Learn; http://www.open.edu/openlearn/ Learner-Generated Contextshttp://heutagogicarchive.wordpress.com/ The Open University opened first Open Education Resource based project at a British University, based on its historic distance learning model (1964) Learner-Generated Contexts Group launched its #Open “Pedagogy” Open Context Model of Learning a post-Web 2.0 Pedagogy (PAH!) based on the PAH Continuum “The most exciting thing happening in England” – John Seeley Brown

- 12. Pedagogies are not enough Learning is Emergent; http://heutagogicarchive.wordpress.com/ Emergent Learning Model http://www.slideshare.net/fredgarnett/fg-ouemergenttable Learning is Emergent not institutionalised! We need to design for emergence and create tools to support that in a wiki-based collaborative world Emergent Learning Model rethinks learning as i. Social Processes not classrooms ii. Content Creation or Curation not textbooks iii. Quality Assurance not high-stakes assessment We needed to build new learning exemplars of „non- linear dynamic systems‟
- 13. Ambient Learning Open City Ambient Learning City; http://www.slideshare.net/fredgarnett/ambientlearningcity Aggregate then Curate http://mosialong.wordpress.com/2011/08/08/aggregate-then-curate/ Being Insanely Ambitious we decided to test emergent learning by turning Manchester into an open Ambient Learning City. Cities have many more learning contexts than a single classroom, so we decided to test them with MOSI-ALONG MOSI Ambient Learning Open Network Group Aggregate then Curate our new #socialmediaparticipation model creating structured ways for people to inter-act with their city; even during riots (A History of Manchester in 100 objects)
- 14. SURPRISE!
- 15. #Occupy the Learning Commons Learning is a full-time Occupation;http://www.slideshare.net/fredgarnett/ Sukey Data; http://www.opensukey.org/about/ Then came Occupy UCL I gave a talk on lessons I had learnt and challenged them to create a Learning Commons at UCL. Sukey Data was hacked together. Learning is a full time Occupation was written for Learning without Frontiers “social-space time / occupation as learning” I was then asked to help create a Masters course for graduating UCL students

- 20. WikiQuals “Yes You Can!” Learning not Education Liminal not Institutionalised Bio-diversity not Monoculture Learner-centric not Student-centred Learner-generated not Course-defined Community as Curriculum not Syllabus defined Community of Sqolars not Community of Practice Personal Learning Networks not Content-delivery Quality Assured not Quality Controlled Affinity not Supervision Emergent not Linear Trust the learner to be themselves; Identity
- 21. WikiQualsOpen Learning Lab Presented to the Open Institute July 8 2013 by @fredgarnett Any University can open a WikiQuals Open Learning Lab. It is a platform for learning that a) leverages content abundance, allows b) learner-generated contexts&purpose c) enables emergent &innovative learning behaviours. Needs just; 1 Space a room one afternoon a week (or more) 2 Access to Learning Resources (& estates) 3 Affinity Partners discuss & guide, create affinity groups Any institution can open a WikiQuals Open Learning Lab it is about providing a generative platform Please help WikiQuals grow up and leave home…
