Open Lectures in Teaching and Learning Series - Helen Keegan – University of Salford - 9 October 2013

Transformations in practice and pedagogy through networked creativity

<ATT00001.jpg>Over the past decade, the growth in the adoption of free and open platforms for teaching and learning (often termed as ‘disruptive technologies’ as they are not owned or controlled by HEIs) has led to the rise of new learning ecosystems where learners and educators are able to develop personal learning networks and communities of interest beyond the walls of the institution, thus disrupting established practices. Traditional boundaries are blurring as new pedagogies emerge; open and networked approaches to learning and teaching that challenge the roles of educators, learners and institutions themselves. Social technologies and networked publics have not only blurred the boundaries between personal and professional, formal and informal, but are leading to a fundamental rethink of: the ownership of knowledge in a participatory culture; the roles of learners and educators; the relationships between education and industry; and the boundaries between disciplines as networked technologies increase conceptual and personal connections between previously siloed fields. The opportunities for communication and collaboration on a global scale are unprecedented.



In this open lecture, I will explore these topics through the lenses of transformation, creativity, serendipity and opportunity. Taking examples from the use of emerging technologies in transdisciplinary contexts, I will highlight key areas including: digital identities; open educational practices; students as producers; and mobile devices as creative tools.
