- 19. Concepts and Practicesfor a Digital Age This subject sets the foundations of connected learning within new information environments created by the social and technological changes of the digital age. By focussing on connectivity, communication, collaboration and convergence, the subject addresses the challenges, opportunities and emerging possibilities for learning and teaching in information-rich participatory environments. Trends in knowledge construction, participation and social networks will be explored, including information futures and digital convergence. The subject introduces education informatics and the scholarship of digital teaching, and models connected learning through group discourse and collaborative inquiry in digital environments, including the reflective and participatory experiences employed throughout the course.
- 20. Knowledge Networking for Educators Thissubject examines the educational practices of connected learning environments within distributed networks of people and institutions, including schools, information organisations and online communities. Knowledge networking is introduced as an active and complementary partnership of online tools, information access, information distribution and pedagogic practices, which are underpinned by social, ubiquitous, blended and personalized learning. Research foundations and case studies will define the value and function of personal knowledge networks. The subject examines tools and opportunities to produce, circulate, curate and comment on new media and explore the affordances of popular peer culture tools and community-based knowledge for connected learning.
- 21. Information Flow and AdvancedSearch This subject offers a comprehensive overview of the changing information flow created by digital environments. By examining the new information architecture of the web, including metadata and the semantic web, the strategies and tools to best manage today’s digital information environment for learning and teaching will be explored. This will include information retrieval concepts; diverse search engines; advanced search tools and techniques; and search within social media for real-time information. A nontechnical introduction to big data and learning analytics will provide important avenues for understanding information flow and the possible ways to shape social, technical and pedagogical transactions ineducation.
- 22. Designing Spaces for Learning Thissubject is designed to extend understanding of the complex relationships between space, place and learning pedagogies in the design of innovative, adaptable spaces for learning. After critical reading and research, students will be able to challenge traditional assumptions in order to understand ways to transform the design of the learning environments. Innovative ideas for facilities and spaces will provide the context for developing and adapting classrooms, libraries and general facilities.
- 23. Literature in Digital Environments Thissubject will examine literature experiences and practices in digital environments and the principles of interactivity, connectivity and access, that now characterise the reading experience in the digital age. Learning and information behaviours; dynamic non-linear hyperlinked environments; and forms and formats on various devices, will be examined to understand the emerging influences and changes in reading and literacy experiences. This subject will include the use of online tools and digital resources for literacy experiences, and will allow students to experiment with creativity in connected learning environments.
- 24. Game-based Learning This subjectprovides an introduction to understanding the potential role of games and gaming for learning in the digital age. Trends in game designs, cultures, genres will be explored in the context of both educational games and commercial games, which can be successfully adapted for pedagogical, curriculum and individual needs of learners. The subject introduces the principles of game design, examines research literature surrounding games and learning, and includes reflective participation in gaming culture.
