Affordance 2: Active Knowledge Making


So learners become active knowledge producers (for instance, project-based learning, using multiple knowledge sources, and research based knowledge making), and not merely knowledge consumers (as exemplified in the ‘transmission’ pedagogies of traditional textbook learning or e-learning focused on video or e-textbook delivery). Active knowledge making practices underpin contemporary emphases on innovation, creativity and problem solving—quintessential ‘knowledge economy’ and ‘knowledge society’ attributes.
