On this page I have collated some of the work I have done with colleagues, Roy Williams, Regina Karousou, Simone Gumtau and Jutta Pauschenwein (2010 – 2017) on emergent learning in open learning environments.
There are many posts on this blog which relate to this. Search the category “Emergent Learning” or search for “Footprints” for further information.
Key papers which relate to this work are:

Our open wiki – Footprints of Emergence – shares how our thinking developed and how we applied our ideas in practice. To view this wiki go to – http://footprintsofemergence.pbworks.com/
This wiki was originally on ‘Wikispaces’ but has been copied here since access to Wikispaces ceases in July of this year (2018).
