Emergent Learning Model (ELM)

What is ELM?

Rethinking the relationship between informal and formal learning in a changing, networked, learning world

ELM is framed in terms of i2020, a post Bologna Process reframing of the relationship between Informal, Non-formal, Formal Learning BUT…

With Informal driving Formal…

Emergent Learning Model

ELM was a development of the Open Context Model of Learning (2007) which built on several earlier models of learning, such as

Community Development Model of Learning, Digital Divide Content Strategy & the Ecology of Resources

By the Learner-Generated Contexts Group

Emergent Learning Model

Learner-Generated Contexts; A group attempting to address the question of how Web 2.0 will change learning given;

Social Networks

User-Generated ContentFrom Access to Content to Context or “a coincidence of motivations leading to agile configurations”

Emergent Learning Model

RethinkingInformal Learning (Libraries, Museums) Non-formal (Training, post-compulsory) Formal Learning (Institutions & Quals)AsSocial Processes (People)Content (Created & Consumed) Context (Quality Assurance)

Emergent Learning Model

Rethinking Informal Learning Focus on the social process that support learning; i.e. PeopleNot places or type or policy ownership or targets (DfES)“Informal Learning is the social processes that support learning in any context”

Emergent Learning Model

Rethinking Non-formal Learning Focus on the content that supports learning (design for appropriation) ORThe content-creation that reflects learning (Learner or User-generated)“Non-formal Learning is Structured Learning resources without formal learning outcomes”

Emergent Learning Model

Rethinking Formal Learning Traditional focus on the institution with little concern on what happened within; concerned with Estates ManagementOR “it’s where the money is”“Formal Education (!) is the process of administering & quality assuring accreditation & qualification”

Emergent Learning Model

Flow & EmergenceCan we use this re-conceptualising to design for a flow of learning?Do we have to start with the institution & then impose processes on learning orCan we start with the social processes of learning & design for emergent behaviours structured by resources?Choice between Hierarchies & Networks

Emergent Learning Model

Informal Learning Phase; enabling models of learner-self-organisation that can be recognised post-hoc

Needs; new learning literacies

Non-formal Learning Phase; Resources designed for learner-appropriation. Content-creation toolkits easily accessible and quality assured (templates? guides?)

Needs new models of content for learning appropriation

Formal Learning Phase; support resource provision, mapping to accredited learning outcomes, quality assuring processes, linking to system needs

Needs institutions concerned with security & authentication

Flexible processes of accreditation and assurance

Emergent Learning Model

Informal Learning Phase; means

People are how we scaffold organisations

Because; learning is social

Non-formal Learning Phase; means

Resources are how we scaffold learning

Because; learning is different to knowledge construction

Formal Learning Phase; means

Institutions are how we scaffold accreditation

Because; Networks work differently to hierarchies

Emergent Learning Model

Emergent Learning in Practice;Ambient Learning & self-accreditationAmbient Learning City Manchester;Lessons; new metaphors, Aggregate then Curate, local and personalWikiQuals; Lessons; Affinity not supervision, “we are rhizomatic” (enabling networks), “solve the problem that annoys you most”

Emergent Learning Model

Why does this matter?1) Rethinking Roles and Processes

2) Change Socio-Economic Context 21st Century

Evolving changes in the socio-technical context

Web As Resource (New Literacies of Access)

Web as Platform (Permanent Beta & new Content)

Web as Location (Identities & New Contexts)OR

It is where the students are
