This paper examines ways in which pedagogy may need to adapt to accommodate a major shift in our conceptions of knowledge and learning brought about by technological developments. Recent major changes in our understanding of the nature of learning are illustrated by the following set of terms that have become commonplace in educational discourse: lifelong learning, informal learning, virtual schooling, online learning, blended learning, social networking and M-learning. Internet and mobile technologies in particular have led to radical changes in the ways that young people socialize and learn (Bavelier et al. 2010; Ito et al. 2008; Livingstone and Haddon 2009). Furthermore, studies in the UK (Crook and Harrison 2008), across Europe (Livingstone and Haddon 2009) and in the US (Rideout et al. 2010) have shown that young people spend much more time using theWeb outside of school than in school indicating the growing opportunities for informal learning. Therefore substantial shifts in our view of learning have been identified. For example a change to mobility in learning is characterised by Kress and Pachler (2007) as a constant state of contingency, provisionality and knowledge creation brought about by an expectation of immediate access to a world of resources, materials and social interaction. Thus there is a shift in emphasis from teaching to learning (Bauman 2005; Kress and Pachler 2007) in which responsibility is transferred to individual students to manage their learning trajectories (Bauman 2005).
