Many of the earlier learning theories place the learner in splendid isolation. From the neo-behaviourist theories of Thorndike, Watson and Skinner, we were led to believe that learners respond to stimuli and make associations between the two, and that these links represent learning.

David White , who is at Oxford University, is probably best known for his theory of Digital Residents and Visitors. Prensky''s Natives and Immigrants was a popular theory within the education world a decade ago, but upon close examination it turned out to be fraught with difficulties and flaws. It was simply a myth. Unported License.

So for example, if a blog constantly publishes good content, the theory is that people will keep coming back to read more. A popular recent theory is that cognition does not exclusively occur inside the head, but is also increasingly reliant on tools and other people. The medium itself is not as important as the content it holds.

In Lave's terms, the CoP is essential for developing our sense of purpose within our chosen community. Yet it is essential if we wish to belong.

In other words, we enable digital and physical learning spaces in which they can freely explore ideas, argue with each other (and us) over concepts and theories and in so doing, develop their reasoning and thinking skills. In order to develop key critical thinking skills, learners need to be able to argue effectively. Unported License.

In fact my specialism never ceases to amaze me, because there is always something new to learn, some new technology, app or software tool that is emerging, or some new theory or model that is being proposed.
