Exploring Learning Ecologies

by Norman Jackson

The idea of learning ecologies developed through this book, provides a more comprehensive and holistic view of learning and personal development than is normally considered in higher education. A learning ecology provides us with affordances, information, knowledge and other resources for learning, developing and achieving something we value. It includes the spaces we create to think and our processes, activities and practices for acting. It includes our relationships, networks, tools and technologies we use and enables us to connect and integrate our past and current experiences and learning and provides the foundation for our future learning. The concept is relevant to the Social Age and the book will be of value to teachers and other education professionals who are helping learners prepare for the complexities, uncertainties and disruptions of their future lives.
