Active Knowledge Making - Epistemic Dimensions of Learning

Active Knowledge Making—so learners become active knowledge producers (for instance, project-based learning, using multiple knowledge sources, and research based knowledge making), less than they are 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.

Post an Update: Make an update introducing an active knowledge making concept on the community page. Define the concept and provide at least one example of the concept in practice. Be sure to add links or other references, and images or other media to illustrate your point. If possible, select a concept that nobody has addressed yet so we get a well-balanced view of active knowledge making. Also, comment on at least three or four updates by other participants. Active knowledge making concepts might include:

  • Project-based learning
