Crowdsourcing Learning
Crowdsourcing Learning
AndragogyThe Art & Science of helping people to Learn
Assumes the Student’s ability, need and desire to take control and responsibility of their Learning. Assumes a move to an independent Learning environment with Students building on their experiences. Learning time changes from ‘postponed’ to ‘immediate’ and curricula changes from ‘Subject-Centric’ to ‘Performance-Centric.
PEDAGOGY
PedagogyThe Art & Science of Teaching
Most dominant form of instruction in Western Europe & North America based on the Monastic approaches to Learning. Teacher is in control of the Learning process and puts student in a submissive role within the Learning environment. Equally applied to Children & Adults and based on the assumption that Learner need only know what the Teacher teaches them.

What learners want?
I want a LEARNING ENVIRONMENT that provides me with the equivalent tools and services as my social environment. One that:
supports my media-rich creativity and expression,
encourages me to collaborate with others and work as a team,
adapts to my individual learning style and needs,
and that accommodates my mobile lifestyle.
