Tenegen model – under the Innovation Transfer

is based on the results of previous projects…
The Tenegen pedagogical model based

on the experiences of NETIS project.
Methodology basics:
"Connectivism considers learning as a process in which the

role of informal information exchange, organised into
networks and supported with electronic tools, becomes
more and more significant. Students can significantly
improve the efficiency of their learning if they take part in
a network, or virtual community dealing with the given
subject."
Begining
The focus of the training model…
•co-operation based teaching/learning environment,

•network communication and knowledge share systems
•put the connectivism learning theory into practice
They will learn why it is so important for the NET

Generation “to be connected”.
Connectivizm course
Practical technics in
connectivizm
approach courses:
•Iteration (cycles)
•Syllabus
•Webinar
•Blog
•Tags
•Content aggregation
•Reflection
•Tasks
•Collaborative content writing
•Comment
How the elements of connectivism method appeared in the

pilot training?
Main method elements

Network cooperation (cooperative and collaborative work)
example:
Tenegen
Learnin Object Bookmarks
Repository
Tenegen
survey

Blogs - Learning diary (internal) & teachers’s blogs (external)
example:
More than
80 blogs
More than
1100 post

Content aggregation
example:

Reflection – comment - feedback
example:
AGORA – more than

1500 entries
in 30 topics.

Tasks We used activity and practical oriented tasks to help using
the softwares of the modules and WEB 2.0 applications.
E-portfolios,
free learning objects
& personal courses
in Moodle
Obstacles of connectivism and questions of the curriculum
Critical remark about the connectivism based courses:

• The course can be successful for those who has strong level of IT
knowledge and knows web tehcnologies well.
• The connectivism methods are not applicable for formal, institutional
public education.
Our experiences (Tenegen survey)
• Teachers don’t have up to date knowledge in the field of IT

knowledge, ICT tools and web applications.
• They don’t use the community cooperation, ineractive activities

based on connectivism model.
• Almost none of them knows about the community channels, web 2.0
tools which are important for active news and knowledge exchange
(RSS, twitter, e-portfolio etc.)
The most of the

teachers socialized in
classical classroom-
based education!
The participants assessed the digital forms of

traditional learning as the most useful components:
• weekly learning instructions
• books, theoretical summaries
• tutorial videos
They assessed the connectivism and network learning

components less useful:
• social bookmarking
• discussion forums
• games
• self assesment tests
Overall in the Tenegen Traning Model

The traditional knowledge share methodes widen with the connectivism
learning theory aspect.
eLearning1.0 and eLearning 2.0 formulas complete each other.
eLearning 1.0 eLearning 2.0

This form of education, eLearning This is an information exchange and
1.0, is actually the technologically information generatation based on
supported variant of traditional cooperation, the students activities and
knowledge distribution, the virtual associative learning into networks and
extension of textbooks and classroom supported with electronic tools. In this
teaching. It is the digital version of way students participate as a content
traditional learning. Even in this providers in the knowledge process.
environment, learning
remained a passive process,
managed from above or outside.
How did the two methods work together in practice ?
To know the portals way, and using ICT tools were the preconditions to fulfil the
course requirements.
How can we teach it?
eLearning 1.0 - materials, manuals, help, videos

eLearning 2.0 - exchange of experiences between the participants, learning diaries, reflections
to them, comments, blog, forums
Defining Net Generation
eLearning 1.0 - study about the Net Generation, articles

eLearning 2.0 - Net Generation survey in collaborative work, establish common position, blog
entries and reflections about Net Generation, disscussion forum
Web 2.0 tools and their application in educational practice
eLearning 1.0 - presentation materials, text, tutorial videos

eLearning 2.0 - blog entries about web 2.0 tools, comments, reflections, Overview each other's
materials, ideas, inspirations
