BYOD4L is one of them
Voices • personalisation, collaboration, informalisation
(Redecker et al, 2011)
• blending of formal & informal learning (Conole, 2013)
• call to open-up, join-up (European Commission, 2013)
• the danger of monocultures (Weller, 2014)
• lifewide curriculum (Jackson, 2014)
• recognising the positive impact of human interaction for learning
What did we want to explore...
Can we create an open learning ecology that enables learners to learn with and from each other in a supportive environment using authentic and inquiry-based pedagogical models?
How can we support open learners effectively to create the foundations of a vibrant learning community?
How can we scale open CPD through informal cross-institutional collaboration?
Can a facilitator and mentor
model work to support
participants?
BYOD4L is...
mobile
flexible
collaborative
authentic
autonomous
self-organised
self-determined
pick ‘n’ mix
supported
registration-free
for teachers & students

What next?
• evaluate 3rd iteration, refine approach further • evaluate institutional participation • badges, tweetchat research work-in-progress • participants’ experience research • identify value for participating institutions • offer follow-up initiative Flexible, Open, Social
Learning (FOSL) before the end of this academic year (might be a slightly longer initiative)
• identify when the BYOD4L will be offered again and identify collaborators
Join us for an open learning adventure in the future! Follow @byod4l for updates
