How am I developing and sustaining the use of collaborative online learning environments in higher education.
In: A Symposium at the British Educational Research Association Conference Annual Meeting, 8 September 2006, University of Warwick, UK.
In 1995, Schön advocated the need for a new epistemology of practice (Schön, 1995) and suggested that this new scholarship would take the form of action research. A new epistemology requires new living standards of judgment. Multimedia explanations for educational influences in learning will be used to show how e-media can be used to contribute to the creation of new living standards of judgement of 'pedagogies of the unique' and 'webs of betweenness'. Pedagogies of the unique involve systematic processes of action and reflection. Webs of betweenness draw on ideas of Celtic spirituality to emphasise a relational dynamic of the various contributions from practitioner-researchers in which individuals recognise the humanity of the other.
