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.

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.

The advent of social media has further advanced this evolution at a pace. There will no doubt be several conversations, some around usability, others around technological or social trends, and of course, we will address the perennial questions about pedagogy and the impact of technology on learning.

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 due to the rapid proliferation of mobile technology, the disintermediation of traditional teacher and student roles, new trends such as MOOCs and the upsurge of user generated content on social media sites - all of which take learning away from previously familiar territory.

As politely as I could, I explained to him that making his students sit through a full 90 minutes of video was not particularly good pedagogy. These are important design principles in all media, and are particularly important in educational video. I will write more on these ideas in a future post. Cognitive Science 12, 257-285.

There is much debate about this question, especially with the advent of social media and services such as Wikipedia and Wikimedia Commons , where anyone can contribute toward a global understanding of what we 'know'. What becomes of those 'elite experts' who were previously the gatekeepers of knowledge before the Internet?

The incorporation of a number of social media tools into the mix proved to be an amazing platform from which the students and I could reflect on the process of learning, and amplify our ideas to each other and the world. It proves to me that sometimes spontaneity can pay dividends. Oh, and why did I title this post parabolic learning?

It''s something we all crave, and is often experienced in social groupings, friendship circles and clubs, where children (and adults) share a common purpose and goals. It''s also why many of us join social networks and use social media - we want to connect to others who have similar interests and backgrounds.
