6 Design Principles Of Connected Learning

6 Design Principles Of Connected Learning | Eclectic Technology | Scoop.it

What is possible in a learning environment today? One idea you  might want to explore is Connected Learning.  "CLA is on our short list of thought leaders that help push us to think about how education is changing in a modern world, which is why we’ve shared some of their models in the past, including their iconic Connected Learning model. Recently, we also discovered that they’ve shared the design principles of that model, along with a description of each."

Beth Dichter's insight:

Connected Learning looks at digital technology and how we can use it to aide our learners. The image above shows their learning principles and design principles. There are three of each.

Learning Principles:

* Interest Powered

* Peer-Supported

* Academically Oriented

Design Principles:

* Production-Centered

* Openly  Networked

* Shared Purpose

Connected Learning provides opportunities for students "to experience learning that is social, participatory, interest-driven and relevant to the opportunities of our time."

You will find additional information on the Learning and Design Principles as well as a short video in the post.
