“It is in fact nothing short of a miracle that the modern methods of instruction have not yet entirely strangled the holy curiosity of inquiry; for this delicate little plant, aside from stimulation, stands mainly in need of freedom; without this it goes to wrack and ruin without fail” “Anyone who tries to draw the future in hard lines and vivid hues is a fool. The future will not sit for a portrait. It will come around a corner we never noticed, take us by surprise” “the future belongs to those who prepare for it” Ralph Waldo Emerson Malcolm X George Emerson Albert Einstein

what might this look like? • rather than teacher-defined content, context with learner-defined content • rather than specific objectives, outcomes emerging from learner (course participant) interactions • rather than assessment,completion of learning tasks represents successful performance
design for contextual learning • a strategy that foregoes assumed learner characteristics and attributes and emphasises the benefits of catering to an 'anyone, anywhere' audience • a case for reinventing common instructional design practices by advocating an approach where design focuses on the individual learner achieving meaningful and situated outcomes from their engagement and encounters with a course of study.
learners as producers, not consumers learners as creators, not watchers an alchemy of learning
