Social Software and Emergent Learning Spaces: Towards the Personalized Learning Environment
July 4, 2007
Steven Warburton · King’s College London, United Kingdom
This presentation will take a critical look at the possibilities for achieving a truly personalised learning environment. By examining the tensions between institutional learning spaces and the disruptive nature of social software the presentation will suggest that the way forward is to acknowledge the contextual and negotiated nature of the learner setting and provide a rich set of knowledge, skills and competences that enable active participation in a changing educational landscape.
