Learning on the internet
• Best way of supporting learners to develop digital and other learning literacies?
Use the same technologies they need to build digital fluencies for learning.
• Learning on the internet
– is less constrained than via an LMS
– enables collaborative content creation (even across institutions)
– learners control their own work (data sovereignty)
– learners use the technologies and practices of the real digital world

Cost & return on investment
• Annual IT costs– Fixed costs: infrastructure @ ~ NZ$6000 + 1 Full time IT person
– Per-learner: ~NZ$0 variable cost
– Proprietary software licenses cost: ~NZ$250 (Zoom)
• ROI maximised by– investing in targeted strategic software development
– sharing maintenance with FOSS communities
• Four tech selection criteria– commodity hosting
– FOSS for SaaS
– No per-seat cost component
