Pedagogy in the best sense of the word is where knowledgeable others such as teachers and experts provide the guidance and support for good learning to be optimised. Students no longer passively absorb content, because they own personal digital devices, and they can use these to produce, organise, repurpose and share their own content.

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.

One of the most radical shifts of pedagogy in recent years has been where learners take control of their own learning leading them to create their own content. In the last decade, user generated content has quickly become the most common content on the web, and is a digital age hallmark of student centred learning.
