It’s not all Greek to us: When we’re talking about eLearning, the words “pedagogy” and “andragogy” are often thrown around. Both of Greek origin, pedagogy literally translates to paidi (child) and ago (guide). Someone applying pedagogical theory to a classroom full of professionals might find that their efforts read as child’s play.

In many ways, heutagogy is aligned to other digital age theories, in that it places an importance on ‘learning to learn’, and the sharing rather than hoarding of that knowledge. It is not difficult to see that such sharing of knowledge can be easily achieved through social media and the use of personal digital technologies.

Praxis is the essence of what happens when theory is applied to practice, and can be simplified in this Venn diagram. Knowing, and then doing something based on that knowledge, is a powerful response. Theory without action is just theory.
