This document summarizes a presentation on harnessing new media for learning, teaching, and research. It discusses the characteristics of new technologies and their implications. Some key points are: (1) Learners are immersed in technology and prefer task-oriented and social learning approaches. (2) New media can be used to reach more learners effectively and impact business models and digital literacies. (3) Technologies should be mapped to pedagogies, like using blogs for reflection or forums for dialogue. (4) Learning design approaches make implicit designs explicit and encourage sharing. Activities in the presentation model mapping pedagogies to technologies and designing learning resources.

Final thoughts • Participatory and social media enable new forms of communication and collaboration • Communities in these spaces are complex and distributed • Learners and teachers need to develop new digital literacy skills to harness their potential • We need to rethinkhow we design, support and assess learning • Open, participatory and social media can provide mechanisms for us to share and discuss teaching and research ideas in new ways • We are seeing a blurring of boundaries: teachers/learners, teaching/research, real/virtual spaces, formal/informal modes of communication and
