The 3P Learning Model

The paper "The 3P Learning Model" has been published in the Journal of Educational Technology and Society (Vol. 13, Issue 4). The paper can be downloaded here.

Abstract:

Recognizing the failures of traditional Technology Enhanced Learning (TEL) initiatives to achieve performance improvement, we need to rethink how we design new TEL models that can respond to the learning requirements of the 21st century and mirror the characteristics of knowledge and learning which are fundamentally personal, social, distributed, ubiquitous, flexible, dynamic, and complex in nature. In this paper, we discuss the 3P learning model; a vision of learning characterized by the convergence of lifelong, informal, and personalized learning within a social context. The 3P learning model encompasses three core elements: Personalization, Participation, and Knowledge-Pull. We then present the social software supported learning framework as a framework that illustrates the 3P learning model in action, based on Web 2.0 concepts and social software technologies.

CONFERENCE OBJECTIVES

Currently, the face of learning is changing substantially. Formal learning is surrounded by informal learning opportunities, classroom learning is complemented by workplace learning, and even the frontiers between teaching and learning are disappearing as people are learning collaboratively and engaging in knowledge communities. These developments are driven by technological advancements: large scale knowledge repositories provide learners with content and support them in an individualized and adaptive way; semantic technologies provide contextualized and task-specific information; the Web 2.0 enables people to actively take part in knowledge communication and knowledge construction. These new tools and technical means need psychological and pedagogical models of learning which take into account the vast diversity of situations where learning takes place, as well as the specific needs of individuals, tutors and organisations.

ECTEL 2009 aims to bring together new technological developments and learning models. The conference will explore how the synergy of multiple disciplines, ranging from Computer Science, Education, Psychology, Cognitive Science, and Social Science, can provide new, more effective and more sustainable, technology-enhanced learning solutions. The conference welcomes researchers from European and Non-European countries and industries to present recent advancements from technologies, applications, and learning models in all areas of technology enhanced learning.

Connectivism/LaaN - Learning Theories

In this table, I tried to compare the connectivism/LaaN perspective with dominant learning and social theories. These include behaviorism, cognitivism, (social) constructivism, situated learning, activity theory, and actor-network theory.

Comments and discussions are most welcome!

- They are clearly focused.
- There is potentially a significant community interested in the workshop's topic.
- Workshop duration can be half a day or a full day.
- We advise having more than one organizer and no more than four, preferably from different institutions, bringing different perspectives to the workshop topic.
- Workshops are intended to be genuine interactive events and not mini-conferences. We welcome workshops with creative structures and organizations that attract various types of contributions and ensure rich interactions
- Therefore, the workshop proposals should include how this is going to be fulfilled (i.e. methods for eliciting opinions and ideas to be used, organization of presentations and discussions, how non presenting participants are involved and so on)
- Programme committee, review process, kinds of submissions expected :  (abstracts, short papers, full papers, ...) and planned publishing/proceeding will be taken into account as well.

The Doctoral Consortium will be accompanied by prominent professors and researchers in the field of Technology Enhanced Learning who will participate actively and contribute to the discussions. The Doctoral Consortium is co-located with and will take place immediately before the EC-TEL 2009 conference. The working language for the Doctoral Consortium will be English.

We welcome submissions on all major topics, to those of relevance for EC-TEL  2009. Submissions will be reviewed by at least two members of the EC-TEL Programme Committee. Papers selected will be published in proceedings and authors will present their work in front of other students and senior researchers during the Doctoral Consortium workshop. Each accepted paper will be assigned to at least two scientific advisors who will provide extended feedback on the research.

The goal of the symposium is to provide a unique opportunity for Ph.D. students to expose their work to an international group of academics andPh.D. students outside their home institution, enhancing feedback from their supervisors.
