Connected learning (1)
« Connected learning is learning that connects personal interests, supportive
relationships, and academic, civic, and career opportunity ».
« Connected learning is not confined to explicitly educational and teacher-guided
experiences intentionally designed to support learning, nor is it limited to
traditional academic subjects ».
« Connected learning is grounded in theories of learning that recognize that
learning and development are embedded within social relationships and cultural
contexts ».

Connected learning (2)
Conditions for connected learning to happen:
 Organisations sponsor and/or legitimise interests and identities of a diverse
audience
 Learners are engaged in shared practices (e.g. creative production)
 Practices are guided by shared purpose such as contributions to communities,
social change, or solving real problems
 Learning is connected across settings through brokering, coordination, and
openly networked platforms

Open Education
 Open Education considers knowledge as a common good
 It is a means to contribute to collective intelligence, not an end in itself
 Its intrinsic values of transparency and freedom ensure contribution and
access to multiple forms of knowledge
 Other key-related values: participation, responsibility, sharing, collaboration,
justice, agency, access, recycling, ubiquitous ownership

Connected learning and Open Education Practices
“Open Pedagogy is not simply a means for
content delivery but the space for students
and faculty to claim ownership of the learning
environment and explicitly have their voices
heard.” Werth & Williams, 2022
