Encountered Learning – Lessons From a Radical Learning Design

Research output: Contribution to conferenceAbstractpeer-review

Abstract


Flinders University is in the midst of a radical reconfiguring of its fully online Graduate Certificate in Education (Higher Education). Moves include repositioning the nature and locale of ‘expertise’; treating students as peer ‘practitioners’ and co-creators of the curriculum; provoking active engaged enquiry within one’s own communities of practice; and most radical of all, a continuously negotiated ‘dialogic’ assessment strategy. Sounds exciting - but how is it really going? Is it too much? - or maybe, not enough? Is there a sweet spot between unfettered boldness and the orthodoxies of our educational strategies?

This session exposes and explores in unabashed frankness:
Configuring leading-edge educational strategies to provide an ‘encountered’ learning approach
The processes for mapping course philosophies, structures and strategies programmatically
The strange ‘third-space’ position of being a learning designer who teaches
The difficulties and gifts of being ‘in’ an emergent curriculum design
