Technology, in whatever form, should become just another part of the learning environment, as useful as a table around which students gather for discussion, or flipchart and pens used to brainstorm ideas for a plenary presentation.

In my last post I discussed Daniel S Christian''s three trends of an emerging pedagogy. I speculated on whether a new social divide might also emerge as a result of the new pedagogy he outlines. How willing will they be to take on a less central role in this new pedagogy ? Unported License.

Assimilation of knowledge is supposedly a more viable proposition, because it is done in the presence of an expert, and the general delivery of content occurs outside the formal learning environment. After all, teachers are paid to teach, and students are there to learn, right? Unported License.

You might do so by creating learning environments in which they can safely take risks and experiment, and where they can fail and learn through that failure. In my classes I practice a Socratic method of pedagogy, which includes the setting of challenges. Inquiry based learning is the foundation for deeper understanding.

It rides on the back of the willingness of some maverick teachers to practise new forms of pedagogy where learning takes precedence over teaching, and where being a content expert is less important than being a co-learner with one''s students.

Video certainly has its place in the learning environment, but it should never be used as a surrogate for good dialogue or other discursive learning activities. In my next blog post I'm going to argue that lectures can be transformed into active learning events with the appropriate application of pedagogy and technology.
