The book was published in 1995, just as the Internet was beginning to invent for itself a space that previously had not existed. The following year I joined a ground breaking project in which my team set up digital learning spaces for businesses and individuals in hard-to-reach rural areas that until then had no infrastructure.

Classroom centric learning has established itself as a ''tried and tested'' method of pedagogy, and it doesn''t seem to be waning. Every organisation it seems, continues to practice this approach, and educational institutions everywhere continue to build classrooms and lecture halls along the same design. Unported License.

The notion of learning spaces is gaining traction across all sectors of education. Learning spaces are not only used to describe places we can learn, but can also be representative of the human mind. And it is from our minds that the concept of learning spaces arises. Unported License.

In recent years, education has evolved to the point where learning can take place anywhere and at any time, usually beyond the walls of the traditional learning space. What are the challenges of these new learning environments? What are the issues we need to address to make new learning environments a success?

Instead, let me say that the ''listening but not hearing'' problem is just one of the ''gaps'' teachers and students experience just about every day in education - chasms and transactional distances that can open up between intentions of one person and misrepresentations of another.

Paragogy is another way of describing peer to peer learning, where students support each other's learning on an equal basis. Both are highly applicable when we consider the advance of learning technologies and the deep pervasion of social media into many learning spaces, formal and informal.

Social tagging for example, is becomes increasingly stronger as people populate it with content and links. One of the best theories to describe how learning is organised in Web 2.0 environments might is social constructivism , because learners increasingly rely on social interaction, and appropriate tools to mediate dialogue.

One of the new skills that teachers will need to master in the future will be the ability to manage virtual learning spaces. Learning always takes place in the mind of the learner, but the formalised activities of learning have never been confined to the classroom. What about social interaction?

As Craig Taylor so eloquently stated this week in his discussion on redesigning learning spaces : "Lose the ICT suite. This only serves to isolate technology from current learning activities as opposed to embedding it within them. It also stands empty for the majority of the time, which is a waste of space and resources.

This is a metaphor of self organised learning spaces, where unwritten rules have evolved to maximise the potential of the tools and environments with which we are increasingly familiar. Learning is no longer linear. Watch out for those on social media who are simply out to scam you or rip off your ideas to make them their own.

But learning theories are variable in their significance, scope and validity. Yet in the digital age, it is probably in the area of tools selection and application that learning theories are at their most potent.

Earlier today on Twitter I said: 'To use any social media to its full potential in education you must venture beyond the classroom.' To achieve its optimum effect, the use of any social media - whether it be blogging, wikis or any other form of sharing of content - must breach the walls of the traditional learning space.

The work of Paulo Freire holds a particular significance to this discourse - he argued that dialogue was more powerful than curriculum, because it is the essence of informal learning, driven by interests rather than the expediences of the state. He once said: 'Education is what remains after one has forgotten everything he learnt at school'.
