global trends

• authentic and contextualised learning

• personalised, self-organised, self-directed

• social learning

• flexible pedagogies

• lifelong and lifewide learning

• connected, collaborative, open

• recognising finally the positive impact of human interaction for learning

The future of education (2030 vision): “The overall vision is that personalisation, collaboration and informalisation (informal learning) will be at the core of learning in the future. “ (Redecker, 2014, 12)

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?
