Week 7Managing eLearning

Authentic Learning – what is that?

“...an approach to teaching and learning that is used within a classroom or educational institution... It is designed to give students opportunities to think and act like professionals but in a learning or training context.”

Jan Herrington http://change.mooc.ca/post/501

Real world

relevance

“An authentic learning pedagogy focuses on students collaboratively creating genuine products that are polished and professional, and that are shared and published. So students might be creating products that are movies, websites, wikis, and communities shared in social media and on the web.

Jan Herrington http://change.mooc.ca/post/501

Authentic learning;\

1. It situates knowledge in realistic contexts

2. These tasks cognitively challenge learners to solve problems and think in the same ways as professionals working in real world contexts

3. Technology-based cognitive tools can be used

4. Complex tasks require the creation of real products and artefacts. Jan Herrington
