Gráinne Conole previews her contribution to the Open University's 2019 Innovating Pedagogy report looking at networked learning beyond the internet. This feels like a return to open learning of the 1970s, but even today, "there are many places where Internet access is unavailable and phone networks are limited or too expensive to use." But technology can still play a role, for example, there's "the MAZI project developed a web-based set of tools running on a Raspberry Pi computer" that has been used in rural Zambia and also in Guyana. Or there's the case of the Personal Inquiry Project where " enabled school students to walk together in groups across a town, gathering data about urban pollution and loading into a netbook running a webserver based on an inquiry learning framework."
