Brief description:
The EoR Design Framework can be used to help understand learner context and support the design of learner centred interventions and/or
technologies that fit contextual constraints and exploit available resources.
Context
The design framework employs a model of context as individual to the learner and created by a learner’s historically situated interactions with ecologies of resources; “context is dynamic and associated with connections between people, things, locations and events in a narrative that is driven by people’s intentionality and motivations. Technology can help to make these connections in an operational sense. People can help to make these connections have meaning for a learner” (Luckin 2010, p18).
A grassroots online newspaper exclusively for, and by, those who understand higher education best, The EvoLLLution is the only place where you can find detailed opinions, news and research about the impact of non-traditional programs on the higher education industry and society-at-large.
An peer-reviewed paper focusing on MOOCs as a way to tackle contemporary issues that affect 21st century education. MOOCs are linked to chaos theory, to point out why MOOCs can be part of the answer for the current need to reshape education in a globally connected world.
