Personalised Learning: What's Coming And 10 Trends Every Educator Needs To Know AboutThe Coming Era of Personalised Learning Paths by Peter Smith – http://er.educause.edu/articles/2014/11/the-coming-era-of-personalized-learning-paths Although there is no one agreed definition for what it means to design one’s own learning path (here from referred to as a Personal Learning Path), for the purposes of this PKMChat, it can be suggested that it is a guide for learning and growing that is designed by the learner for the learner (learner centric) according to their interests, or the learning needs that they have identified for themselves. It differs to the idea of a ‘Personalized Learning Path’ where the learner is supported and guided by others, eg. a teacher, mentor, L&D, to design a learning path to address their learning needs. By designing their own learning path, the learner is empowered to take control of their learning experience and choose when, how and what to learn according to their learning preferences. This ensures their learning is meaningful and effective. The learner is ideally intrinsically motivated to follow their path and achieve their goal as they take responsibility for their own learning. These types of learners are referred to as ‘Self-Directed’ or independent learners. The learner maps out their journey to achieving a particular objective/goal/outcome in any way they choose. A learning path provides a focus and direction for learner development that is adaptable. The path to achieve their goal can change as they veer off and on the path while staying headed in the same direction. A learning path can include formal learning (classroom/eLearning courses, MOOCs, webinars, mentoring, coaching), informal and social learning (videos, podcasts, and other resources) as well as informal events/activities/learning opportunities (conferences, job based/stretch assignments/projects) to gain the necessary experience and exposure needed to achieve the objective/goal. PKMChat being about Personal Knowledge Management encompass Knowledge lifecycle in general. Our first chat was about learning, acquiring Knowledge. Our second is about sharing it. Week after weeks we will switch from one end of the lifecycle to another while exploring all the channels that could be used: social, formal, writing, videos. Feel free to suggest topics by tweeting to @pkmchat.
