Emergent Learning Model

Background;

Learner-Generated Contexts

Open Context Model of Learning

Architectures of Participation

Bologna Process

Informal, Non-formal, Formal Learning

Emergent Learning goes GLAM

Emergent Learning Model

Definition;

A context created by people interacting together with a common, self-defined or negotiated learning goal.

The key aspect of Learner Generated Contexts is that they are generated through the enterprise of those who would previously have been consumers in a context created for them. (Wikipedia)

Emergent Learning Model

LGC Origins;

A Team who built a Facebook for earning in 2004 (before social network) Socially Inclusive; Community Development Model of Learning (Freire)

Participant Design; Ecology of Resources Model of Learner (Vygotsky)

Emergent Learning Model

RethinkingInformal Learning (Libraries, Museums) Non-formal (Training, post-compulsory) Formal Learning (Institutions & Quals)AsSocial Processes (People)Content (Created & Consumed) Context (Quality Assurance)

Emergent Learning Model

Rethinking Informal Learning Focus on the social process that support learning; i.e. PeopleNot places or type or policy ownership or targets (DfES)“Informal Learning is the social processes that support learning in any context”

Emergent Learning Model

Rethinking Non-formal Learning Focus on the content that supports learning (design for appropriation) ORThe content-creation that reflects learning (Learner or User-generated)“Non-formal Learning is Structured Learning resources without formal learning outcomes”

Emergent Learning Model

Rethinking Formal Learning Traditional focus on institutions with little concern on what happened within; concern with Estates ManagementOR “it’s where the money is”“Formal Education (!) is the process of administering & quality assuring accreditation & qualification”

Emergent Learning Model

Flow & EmergenceCan we use this re-conceptualising to design for a flow of learning?Start with institution & impose processes ORStart with the social processes of learning & design for emergent behaviours

Emergent Learning Model

Informal Learning Phase; enabling models of learner-self-organisation that can be recognised post-hoc

Non-formal Learning Phase; Resources designed for learner-appropriation. Content-creation toolkits easily accessible and quality assured (templates? guides?)

Formal Learning Phase; support resource provision, mapping to accredited learning outcomes, quality assuring processes, linking to system needs

?GLAM; ‘participative curatorial strategies enabling self-organisation, collaboration and content-creation.

Emergent Learning Model

Why does this matter to GLAM?

1) Rethinking Roles and Processes

2) Change Socio-Economic Context 21st Century

Evolving changes in the socio-technical context
