important than the
content within the pipe.”

“Instead of viewing students as
the problem, we should change
our mindset and think about
how we can build a learning
environment that supports
social, emotional and academic
development for everyone,”

How can we build these
‘pipes’ and connect our
learning experiences?
ACTIVITY: in pairs (or small groups), spend 2mins
discussing the barriers to connecting learning
experiences for LEARNERS

How can we connect learning pathways?
“Networked education will enable
students to participate in more
personalized and equitable
learning opportunities, through
collaboration within their own
communities and as part of teams
of learners separated by time and
distance”

23. DISCUSSION:
what ONE thing could you do to improve
the connected learning experience of
your students?
#ALTC19

@johncoup
- DATA: rethinking data artifacts and their connectivity can open
up new ways to link learners, activities and spaces;
- DIALOGUE: student-centred perspectives and academic
ownership are testing and remodeling conventional teaching
approaches;
- DOING: practical active learning designs are emerging within
institutions for on-campus, blended and distance learners.
THE GOAL: Create flexible learning pathways across
learning spaces for diverse student groups
