Notes taken at FLANZ (Flexible Learning Association NZ) - innovating pedagogy - presentation

 A presentation by Dr. Simon Atkinson on future opportunities for flexible learning. Based on a recent Open University Innovation Report #10.

Summary of the report found here

Presentation discussed the report on innovating pedagogy with the assumption that participants have read the report before attending.

Overview provided – quite conservative actually!

Proposes a range of approaches – hybrid models, dual-learning scenarios (connecting classroom and work), pedagogies of micro-credentials, pedagogy of autonomy, watch parties (watch videos together), influencer-led education, pedagogies of the home, pedagogy of discomfort (emotions as powerful tools of learning), well-being education and walk-and-talk (combining movement and conversation).

Categorised these into ‘context-aware curriculum design’; skills-orientated curriculum design’ leveraging non-formal and informal learning and human centred learning design.

Discussion revolved around how some of the approaches are defined and categorised. Menti.com used to collate feedback and understanding from the participants. The voting tried to establish how impactful each approach could be and how much effort is required to put the approach in place.
