MicroSCoPE: A closer look at what's happening in SCoPE
November Activities
Seminar: Footprints of Emergence
18 - 29 November, 2013
Facilitators: Roy Williams, Jenny Mackness, Simone Gumtau
This 2-week seminar is an exploration and discussion of how learning does (or does not) take place in complex learning environments, such as open online courses, and how this interacts with learning design. The Footprints of Emergence framework enables learners and learning designers to articulate, map out, and reflect on critical aspects of learning in open, emergent learning events, both individually and collaboratively and results in visualisations of the learning experience.
