Open and networked educator
“I don’t think education is about centralized instruction anymore; rather, it is the process [of] establishing oneself as a node in a broad network of distributed creativity.”

The higher education sector has reached a critical point where it must address the innovations that have changed the way its learners, and the rest of society, seek and engage with knowledge.

Individuals with abundant access to ICTs
who have habits of effective use of these
technologies in information-seeking and
problem-solving activities are unable to
make effective use of these technologies
in higher education settings.

As studies become more contextualised it seems that the real lesson of online identity is not that it transforms identity but that it makes us more aware that offline identity was already more multiple, culturally contingent and contextual than we had appreciated.

Key Selves of Networked Publics:• Performative Self• Quantified Self• Participatory Self• Asynchronous Self• Augmented Self• Surveiled Self• Branded Self
“If institutions of learning are going to help learners with the real challenges they face... [they] will have to shift their focus from imparting curriculum to supporting thenegotiation of productive identities through landscapes of practices.”

Learners need to practice and experiment with different ways of enacting their identities, and adopt subject positions through different social technologies and media.
These opportunities can only be supported by academic staff who are themselves engaged in digital practices and questioning their own relationship with knowledge.

Created vs. ascribed identities
Development of new identities (social, pedagogical, civic, professional)
Crossing boundaries (temporal & spatial as well as institution, education sector, geography, culture, power level)
