In this short series on what I will call 'narrative pedagogy' I want to explore some of the storytelling techniques that can be adapted for use in education. Next I ask them to spend some time discussing and writing down their arguments on a sheet of paper so they can structure their rhetoric. Stories are compelling. Unported License.

Quantity was more important than quality, because a rapid population of new digital spaces was deemed to be expedient - the pedagogy could wait. Discussion groups and forums, hyperlinked content, videos, audio in the form of podcasts, and ultimately, user generated content emerged as important forms of online activity.

Clearly the binary is used as a rhetorical device, and in reality, each teacher is unique in the way they approach and practice their pedagogy.

It's safe to claim that much of higher education is firmly rooted in the past , reflecting colonial history, traditional values and 20th (or even 19th) Century pedagogies. This might be seen as a generalisation, because there are some pockets of innovative pedagogy to be found in every large education institution. Unported License.

Instruction takes place outside the classroom and discussion follows in the classroom. If you subscribe to a kind of pedagogy where you believe that facilitating learning is more effective than direct instruction, you will probably recognise the potential. Most teachers by now will be aware of the concept of the flipped classroom.

For centuries, innovative teachers have been trying to find other more effective methods of pedagogy that can take the place of lecturing and instruction. What it does mean is that teachers should seriously consider new forms of pedagogy where students are placed at the centre of the learning process, and have to spend some time ''teaching''.

Thirdly, teachers need time to tinker, experiment and test out new ideas and new pedagogies. To bring this Cinderella technology to the ball, teachers need to spend some time and energy preparing it and practising its use, exploring the possibilities and testing out new ideas and pedagogies.

I pointed out recently that many of the older theories of pedagogy were formulated in a pre-digital age. Sure, I''m being deliberately provocative here, but it''s needed discussion: Are the old models adequate, or are any of the new theories that are emerging more apposite, or more fit for purpose? I will be interested in your views.

This is assessment for learning (AfL) rather than assessment of learning, and it''s critical for good pedagogy.
