The Future of Learning, Networked Society

Can ICT redefine the way we learn in the Networked Society? Technology has enabled us to interact, innovate and share in whole new ways. This dynamic shift in mindset is creating profound change throughout our society. The Future of Learning looks at one part of that change, the potential to redefine how we learn and educate. Watch as we talk with world renowned experts and educators about its potential to shift away from traditional methods of learning based on memorization and repetition to more holistic approaches that focus on individual students' needs and self expression.

CITIES AND ICT

Cities are hubs of creativity and action. The challenges and opportunities are great, and the Information and Communications Technology industry (ICT) is eager to bring solutions to this huge trend.

OUR UNIVERSITY OF CADIZ

I will speak about Cadiz and the environment where our university is located. Its cultural and natural attractions could be a reason for studying in the UCA. I´m going to tell you where the city of Cádiz is. Cádiz is in the south of Spain near Seville, Malaga and Gibraltar. Both Jerez and Gibraltar offer low cost flights and are close to Cadiz Cadiz is a small city with one hundred and thirty thousand inhabitants. Cádiz is not a typical Spanish tourist city, because it is located on a small island. But within a few kilometres there are different towns and cities near the beach which offer many interesting sports and leisure activities such as windsurfing in Tarifa, horses, wine, sherry and traditional flamenco dancing in Jerez and Seville. Due to its geographic situation, it has a climate between the Mediterranean sea and the Atlantic ocean, with an annual temperature of 18 ºC., with an average of 74 days of rain annually, Should you miss the snow and ski-ing in winter, Granada is only a few hours away. Cádiz was founded by the Phoenicians from the city of the Tiro around one thousand one hundred before Christ. According to mythology, it was Hercules who founded Gadir, which means "closed site".

EMCI Erasmus IP Summer School 2013

I would like to say something about my experience: it has been rich, intense and full of life and emotion. Also for me it was my first IP. This project started many years ago with proposals to different universities in different countries. We had a dream, we followed our dream with enthusiasm and persistence... That IP was an example of how today's youth can break down barriers and work together to build a better world.

The four Ps of Creativity in Education

Studying Creativity in Education is also broken down into a structure consisting of 4 Ps. Person, Process, Product and Press. To study, teach and learn with Creative People we try to identify the characteristics of these individuals. We try to evaluate different styles of adaptive creativity vs innovative. We also try to understand the different learning styles of people, because we believe that everyone is creative. Regarding the Creative Process, perhaps, the most intuitive and natural is Creative Problem Solving or CPS. And I think the common thread among them all is the separation of ideas generation. Most of us believe that creativity comes through a "special moment" when the perfect idea is presented; however, creativity is the result of a slow and deliberate process. This type of learning can be seen enriched through collaborative learning that encourage or promote ICT. The Creative products are seen as the final artifacts of the creative process. What makes a product be creative in Education? It has to be both novel and useful. The research paradigm focuses on the causes or conditions that encourage / inhibit micro and macro environmental creativity. This is also known as a focus on environmental Press, completing our four P. Other dimensions that support creativity are Challenge, Freedom, Idea Support, Trust / Openness, dynamism / vitality, Joy / Humor, Debate, taking risks, and time Idea. Understanding these dimensions can be applied in the various activities of the student at home, either inside or outside the classroom to encourage creativity.

INNOVATION DEFINITION AND EXAMPLES

New technologies and social computing, provide new opportunities for education, as they enhance learning and teaching, and facilitate collaboration, innovation and creativity. The benefits of deploying social computing and ICT for learning depend on the learning approach used, emphasizing the role and the skills of the teacher and the need for supportive settings for both learners and teachers.
