Education needs a new Craft of Teaching

To Trust in Digital Curiosity

To enable “Artfully-crafted

Student-centred Learning Experiences”

A learning transformation

Our transformed models of learning

require new organisational structures

BUT! The Academy hasn’t changed;

Academic Institutions remain

•Elitist•Self-regarding•Hierarchical •Sclerotic•Expensive

Still preparing for 19th Century colonial wars…

Instead of for 21st Century Citizens!

If we build organisational architectures of participation – will they be;

E-enabling tradition or transforming institutions of education?

Will it be a digital revolution in networked participation or just managing in the knowledge economy?

We need Platforms for Learning

What are Architectures of Participation?

For us participatory education means

Participatory institutions

Formalised around quality assurance

Where both delivering & managing

learning programmes are the same

AND teachers are trusted

For their pedagogic experience

Co-creating authentic learning experiences

With enthusiastic learners
