SOCIAL:LEARN – WIDENING PARTICIATION AND SUSTAINABILITY OF HIGHER EDUCATION

1 Walton, A, Weller, M. and Conole, G. (2008). Social:Learn – Widening Participation and Sustainability of Higher Education. Proc. EDEN 2008: Annual Conference of the European Distance and E-Learning Network. 11-14 June 2008, Lisbon, Portugal SOCIAL:LEARN – WIDENING PARTICIATION AND SUSTAINABILITY OF HIGHER EDUCATION1 Anthony Walton, Martin Weller and Gráinne Conole, The Open University, UK, Email: a.s.walton@open.ac.uk Abstract What would a new university look like if we started with a blank sheet of paper, capitalising on the very best of what we know about good pedagogy coupled with harnessing the potential of new technologies? The paper will consider the challenges Higher Education faces in the light of new technologies and in particular the potential of Web 2.0 technologies as a means to transform education. It will describe a project, Social:Learn, which is attempting to develop a sustainable educational framework to harnessing the best in new technologies in an educational context; to create a new, dynamic and engaging learning environment for tomorrow’s students. Introduction The advent of the Internet marked a watershed in the impact of technologies on education – enabling easier exchange of resources and communication. As a consequence the Internet is now a core feature of educational provision, from institutional marketing web pages, through email as the standard means of communication to implementation of institutional Virtual Learning Environments (Weller, 2007). Many argue that we are on the cusp of a similar revolution in terms of the impact of so called ‘web 2.0’ technologies and suggest that the new possibilities of these social networking tools are resulting in a fundamental shift in the way we work and learn (Alexander, 2006; Downes, 2006; O’Hear, 2006). Indeed recent research on students’ actual use of technologies provides some empirical evidence to support this – suggesting that students approaches to learning (the way they learn) and theirs attitudes and expectations are changing (ECAR, 2007; Kennedy, 2006; Conole et al., 2008). Therefore, Higher Education institutions face a challenge and opportunity presently, which can be summarised as ‘how to respond to the new social, web 2.0 technologies and approaches?’ These seem to have potential within the educational arena, for example as a means of creating communities, generating content, discovering resources, learning collaboratively, and utilizing the power of the network. However, many of the values and approaches in the web 2.0 world do not sit easily within a higher education context. Indeed it is not just a changing external technological environment that is challenging Higher Education; there is an increasing realisation that education can no longer be seen in isolation; a changing societal context, the impact of globalisation versus localisation, the changing funding streams and business models, changing demographics, as well as the increasing impact of new technologies are complex and fast moving (see for example Andrew and Haythornthwaite, 2007; Conole and Oliver, 2007). 1 Social:Learn is currently sponsored by the Open University, D. Vincent (pro vice chancellor) is the project sponsor. In addition to the authors of this paper, others involved in this work include: S. Buckingham-Shum, J. Greenberg, N. Pigott, T. Hirst and P. McAndrew. External consultants have included H. Tibbs, S. Boyd and S. Sim.

简介

What would a new university look like if we started with a blank sheet of paper, capitalising on the very best
of what we know about good pedagogy coupled with harnessing the potential of new technologies? The
paper will consider the challenges Higher Education faces in the light of new technologies and in particular
the potential of Web 2.0 technologies as a means to transform education. It will describe a project,
Social:Learn, which is attempting to develop a sustainable educational framework to harnessing the best in
new technologies in an educational context; to create a new, dynamic and engaging learning environment
for tomorrow’s students.
