Task 3.2.3 Integrating concepts

Learning in Context by George Siemens

These are some ideas taken from the PPT

• The focus is on how different learning needs require different approaches.
• Learning about, learning to do, learning to be, learning to transform “Know-where” is more important than “know-what” and “know-how”
• Learning approach (Multi-dimensional, Multi-faceted, Multi-contextual)
• Learning is a continual cycle, a process.
• Formal learning is good for initiating learners who are new (foundation building).
• Experience/Game-based Learning is good for real life challenges.
• Mentoring/Apprentice Learning is good for personal, relevant knowledge/learning.
• Performance Support Learning is good for short, focused learning.
• Self-Learning is good for exploring areas of personal interest.
• Community-based Learning is good for dialogue, diversity of perspective.
• Informal Learning is good for continual, ongoing, multifaceted.
• Schools need to transform/be transformed by a particular era/culture.
• Provide learners with knowledge skills to learn for life.
• Consider profile and needs of learners.
