I pointed out recently that many of the older theories of pedagogy were formulated in a pre-digital age. I blogged about some of the new theories that seem appropriate as explanatory frameworks for learning in a digital age. I questioned whether the old models are anachronistic. I will be interested in your views. Unported License.

How would you define digital learning? We hear about digital learning, e-learning, blended learning , mobile learning, and even micro-learning.

To me it resembles a global digital tribe. Whether or not we realise it, if we regularly use social media, we are members of the world wide digital tribe. The global digital tribe has many smaller sub-sets we can call clans. Facebook is currently the largest of the digital totems in the social media universe.

I completely agreed with him, but added that we could go farther, and that 'Just for Me' learning is now also achievable, through a number of emerging trends in learning and development. Digital delivery of content can personalise learning, enabling learners to work at their own pace, and in a place and at a time that suits them.

Another emerging theme is the idea of innovation - and the question of how teachers can break out of the rut they sometimes mire themselves within. Routine and schedule can be a huge barrier to new ideas, and creative pedagogy is often stifled due to lack of time or support. The series attracted a combined total of over 21,000 views.
