Steve Wheeler writes, "I pointed out recently that many of the older theories of pedagogy were formulated in a pre-digital age". 

I blogged about some of the new theories that seem appropriate as explanatory frameworks for learning in a digital age. These included heutagogy, which describes a self-determined approach to learning, a new model of peer-peer learning known as paragogy, a post modernist 'rhizomatic' learning explanation, distributed learning and connectivist theory, and also a short essay on the digital natives/immigrants discourse. I questioned whether the old models are anachronistic.
Is it now time for these new theories to replace the old ones?
