Emergent Learning Model
ELSE11, Bucharest, April 2015 @fredgarnett
• Background…
• Emergent Learning Model an attempt to apply Web2.0 participatory tools to learning
• Open Context Model of Learning is a conceptual framework of pedagogies
• Learning as self-developed and self-managed
• Open up education systems to serendipities of self-directed learning in various contexts both within and beyond the classroom
Emergent Learning Model
ELSE11, Bucharest, April 2015 @fredgarnett
• Background…
• Bernie Dodge WebQuests 1994
• Q. “Is surfing learning?”
• A. New process; start point, end-point, rubric of assessment, allowing learning serendipities
• Open context model interested in the learning serendipities of Open Education, OERs, Open Learn (OU)

• Development Frameworks…
• However we realised that for innovation in education to take advantage of the potentials of emergence, interactivity and resource abundance that are on offer in a Web 2.0 world of learning, then we needed to create a “development framework” to help the design of education innovations
• Suggesting potential new practice…

• Example of a Development Framework
• We designed EMFFE E-Maturity Framework for FE (colleges)
• Supporting moves from known to unknown
• 5-stage model combining existing practice, new practice, network affordances using e-maturity levels
• Enabling “future design of educational institutions based on strategic values”

• ELM as a Development Framework…
• A key distinction of learning post web2.0 is that we are now in an age of learning resource abundance
• How do we design new educational practices for a world of resource abundance?
• ELM helps with designing new educational practice in new & traditional learning contexts
• Designing both for education & for learning

• ELM and the Bologna Process
• Post-Bologna EU wanted to integrate formal non-formal and formal learning
• However the EU made it sector-based
• We decided to make it learning-based
• Because our observation was post-Web2.0 informal learning drives formal learning!

• Elements of Emergent Learning …
• Rethinking Informal Learning
• Focus on the social process that support learning; i.e. role of People
• Not institutions or sector or policy
• “Informal Learning is the social processes that support learning in any context”

• Elements of Emergent Learning …
• Rethinking Non-formal Learning (Resources)
• Focus on the content that supports learning (design for appropriation) OR
• Content-creation (or curation) that reflects learning (Learner or User-generated)
• “Non-formal Learning is structured learning resources without formal learning outcomes”

• Elements of Emergent Learning …
• Rethinking Formal Learning
• Traditional focus on the institution with little concern on what happened within; concerned with Estates Management
• OR “it’s where the money is”
• “Formal Education (!) is the administration & quality assurance of accreditation”

• Conclusions 1
• Although learning is emergent - that is it reveals non-linear dynamic processes - ELM does allow for the integration of informal and formal approaches to learning
• ELM is really useful in designing informal yet dynamic learning eco-systems

• Conclusions 2
• In large-scale and dynamic projects, like Ambient Learning City, it was found that ELM was extremely useful in the planning stage oflearning design
• BUT! Implementation problems emerge which require further development of original techniques & processes, e.g. new metaphors &new models (Aggregate then Curate)

• Conclusions 3
• In small-scale and learner-centric projects, like WikiQuals, ELM was also useful in the planning stage but implementation problems developed
• As WikiQuals was small-scale & focussed around people then it was important to establish an (agreed) “set of social practices” (Serbu 2013) around which it could be organised.

• Conclusions 4
• Emergent Learning Model is a tool for the design of learning which allows for emergent properties to reveal themselves
• However there must always be a secondary design phase to solve the new problems which emerge in developing non-institutionalised learning systems...
