By George Siemens Introduction Learning Management Systems (LMS) are often viewed as being the starting point (or critical component) of any elearning or blended learning program. This perspective is valid from a management and control standpoint, but antithetical to the way in which most people learn today.

There's been a lot of idle chit-chat about blended learning, and how 'indispensable' it is during the historic online pivot. Blended is simply a crazy idea that learning can occur anywhere, in both formal and informal contexts, inside school and outside of it, using a mix of technology - as and when it suits. But it could be.

Unlike normal photographs, every part of a hologram contains all the information possessed by the whole. Shouldn't learning be the same as a hologram?

I blogged about some of the new theories that seem appropriate as explanatory frameworks for learning in a digital age. Are the old theories still adequate to describe the kinds of learning that we witness today in our hyper-connected world? Secondly, they can inform and justify our professional practice as teachers.

Learning is changing. In some ways learning has no need to change. As we get older, we consolidate what we have learnt, modifying our knowledge and skills as new information and techniques become known to us. That has always been the nature of learning. So why am I claiming that learning is changing?

Informal and self regulated learning are defining characteristics of 21 st Century education. Various commentators suggest that as much as seventy percent of learning occurs outside of formal educational settings (Cofer, 2000; Dobbs, 2000; Cross, 2006). The central tenet of heutagogy is that people inherently know how to learn.

Learning in the industrialised world can now be contextualised within a largely technological landscape, where the use of digital media is assuming increasing importance. These facets of modern life in combination have led educators to question the validity of pre-digital age learning theories.

We all have the ability to help others to learn. Children (and adults too) can learn more broadly, deeply and extensively if they have a knowledgeable person by their side, than they can on their own. We learn in a multitude of ways, some within formal settings, others less formally. How did you learn to tie your shoelaces?

This is number 15 in my series on learning theories. In this post, we take a look at an emerging theory of learning proposed by Stewart Hase and Chris Kenyon, known as Heutagogy. As usual, this is a simplified interpretation of the theory, so if you wish to learn more, please read the associated literature.

I have been thinking and writing about ' Learning 2.0 ' for some time now. This is the argument that there has been a paradigm shift in the way students learn - from 1.0 One of the most valuable assets a 21st Century learner has is their personal learning network (PLN).

I started a discussion on Twitter today about blended learning, after reading an exchange between @simfin and @whitec. Today's discussion about blended learning on Twitter was for me at least, somewhat unsatisfactory. This is why blended learning, in the old traditional sense is now a fairly meaningless term. you get the idea.

The institutional learning platform - the VLE - is a classic case of decisions made about learning without consulting the learner. How can we reach a place in education where students find their own level and make their own pathways through learning? Students can, and do, create their own personalised learning pathways.

I'm increasingly conscious of the blurring of boundaries between formal and informal learning contexts. We spend much of our time in formal settings such as classrooms, training rooms and 'on the job' training, to learn the stuff that gets accredited through academic or vocational qualifications bodies. Every learner has one.

Learning in particular is being democratised. And yet according to on very respected psychologist - Lev Vygotsky - learning on your own is not as powerful or extensive as learning alongside a ''knowledgeable other'' person. Informal learning will never be the same again. This is autodidacticism - teaching yourself.

As I remarked in my previous #LearningIs post, learning never stops. Often we don't even realise we are learning, but we are constantly being exposed to new information, and if we pay attention, we are likely to internalise that information in some way. I had confused learning with schooling. It is lifelong.
