Why?
“Learning is a
collaborative,
continuous, connected
and community-based’
growth mindset.”*
*Dan Pontefract – Flat Army:
Creating a connected and engaged
organisation
The “speed of need”
has accelerated
Technology has / hasn’t helped – its
made more (learning) available
It’s unavoidable

Welcome to

Dan Pontefract, defines
pervasive learning as:
“learning at the
speed of need
Through formal,
informal and
social learning
modalities”
and illustrates this as …
He advocates the 3:33 model

19.
The 3:33 model is equal parts of formal,
informal & social learning
Informal learning = 66% or 90%
Conducive environment = learning opportunities
= pervasive learning

Pervasive Learning – the challenges

“The greater value
of education for every
student is not in learning the
information but in learning
the skills they need to
successfully
find, consume, think about
and apply it
in their lives.”
* Statement by British
Columbia’s Ministry of
Education
Content
Designed to
be applied
and used
Contributory
content
Engaging!
Easily
accessed
and
searchable
Concise,
contextually
relevant,
useful
Aligned to
point of need

30.
Technology
Extend access
and delivery via
new technologies –
tablets & smartphones
today.. glasses
tomorrow?
Discussion
boards,
external feeds,
real time
‘chat’
Platforms that
allow peer-to-peer
interaction, groups
and communities,
user generated
content
Access,
sharing and
collaboration
are the
key drivers

culture

Facilitating and

Exploiting

34.
Key
drivers and
influencers
Learners are
in a permanent
state of learning
The culture and
behaviour of
the organisation,
departments and
groups can be varied
e.g. Finance v/s Sales
Participation is key,
‘useful’ resources that
support performance is
the best way of
building this
Are you
capturing
‘best practice’?
Collaboration and sharing
allow an instant exchange of ideas,
problem solving and consultation.
FREE tools like Skype,
instant messenger, chat and
collaborative platforms like
Linked In and Yammer
facilitate this exchange

35.
When
learning for
the first
time
Classroom, observation, on the job
PCs & tablets
When
wanting to
learn more
Reading, watching, discussion, questionin
g
PCs & tablets
When
trying to
remember
or apply
Referencing,enquiry, ask someone
Smartphones, tablets & PCs
When
things
change
Collaboration, reference, ask someone
Smartphones, tablets & PCs
When
something
goes wrong
Collaboration, reference, ask someone
Smartphones, tablets & PCs
5 moments of opportunity (need)* and
how we tend to address them..
*Dr. Conrad Gottfredson - Ontuitive

Think
about it!
Do you encourage
external collaboration?
Is social media access
enabled? Linked In?
Twitter?
Facebook?
Use mobile technology?
Tablets?
User created content as
part of your learning?

37.
Don’t stop being
a ‘learner’

38.
We must be the ‘tour guides’
to direct , guide and ensure
that we keep learning to
KEEP LEARNING!*
*Me
We must build the
Bodleian, the
Louvre’s and
the Smithsonian’s
of learning
Our role and mission
must be as catalysts
of learning.
