2014 Innovating Pedagogy Report - the Open University

The annual Innovating Pedagogy report explores new forms of teaching, learning and assessment for an interactive world, to guide teachers and policy makers in productive innovation. Produced by the Institute of Educational Technology at The Open University, the report identifies ten educational terms, theories and practices that have the potential to provoke major shifts in educational practice in the near future. Featured in 2014's annual report: Massive open social learning; Learning design informed by analytics; Flipped classrooms; Bring your own devices; Learning to learn; Dynamic assessment; Event-based learning; Learning through storytelling; Threshold concepts; Bricolage. While MOOCs and other theories covered in this year's report are not necessarily new, we aim to examine how they can gather momentum and have a greater influence on education. For each of the ten practices featured within the report, we have identified the potential impact they could have, as well as the predicted timescale for each. http://www.openuniversity.edu/news/news/2014-innovating-pedagogy-report
