Personalised LearningThe challenge
Objectives
How do we apply theory to practice ?
What does it mean to own a learning activity?
How do technologies influence ownership?
Can we develop personalisation strategies?
Education is the last hold out from the Digital Revolution.

Consumer Personalisation
Applying market
consumerism to education
may compromise
the principles of equity on which it is
based
Values such as self-
motivation, self-regulation,
and educational
progress, are not equally distributed
among cultures
Disadvantaged learners are least likely to
seek help
Poorly structured choice may
actively reduce the
scope for the collective
action

Activity 2Ownership
LEARNER NARRATIVE (TRANSLATION)
Translation will accord with learner goals, backgrounds, and values, resulting in varied degrees of mastery but greater degrees of appropriation.
TEACHER LED OR SCAFFOLDING (INSCRIPTION)
Heavy inscription may be perceived as such and met with resistance with learners demonstrating mastery but rarely displaying appropriation.
Empowering Learning
ONE HAS TO DEVELOP A CONCEPT OF ONESELF IN THE ACTIVITY AND TO WANT TO REALIZE THAT SELF OR AVOID IT
WARDEKKE (2010)

Who owns the activity?Discuss and place your
activities on the matrix
• Ownership is high where individual’s can express their preferred self
• Ownership is low where individual’s must defend their preferred selfGuide

Were areas of the matrix were problematic?

Activity 3Customisation
COST OF PERSONALISATION
In their desire to become customer driven, many companies have resorted to inventing new programs and procedures to meet every customer’s request. But as customers and their needs grow increasingly diverse, such an approach will add unnecessary cost and complexity to operations.
Pine & Gilmore (1997)

How is the activity personalised?Tag each activity:
Colour for customisation types
The technology this will use to achieve this
• Differentiate activities based on learning styles and needs.
Transparent
• Standard tools (e.g. target setting) create a unique learning path
Adaptive
• Presented in different ways but not fundamentally altered.
Cosmetic
• Learners participate in design developing creativity and reflection

Complexity & Activity TheoryPrimary artefacts identify tools used.
Secondary artefacts are representations of these, either through learner narrative (translation) or teacher-led programs of action or scaffolding (inscription)
Tertiary artefacts represent the creative use of secondary artefacts and emerge almost exclusively through translation.

Open Discussion
Would you use this idea in your own work?
Is ownership a useful way to evaluate e-learning?How might you use customisation strategically?
