CPD

BYOD4L is one of them

Voices • personalisation, collaboration, informalisation

(Redecker et al, 2011)

• blending of formal & informal learning (Conole, 2013)

• call to open-up, join-up (European Commission, 2013)

• the danger of monocultures (Weller, 2014)

• lifewide curriculum (Jackson, 2014)

• recognising the positive impact of human interaction for learning

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?

How can we scale open CPD through informal cross-institutional collaboration?

Can a facilitator and mentor

model work to support

participants?

BYOD4L is...
