Abstract

Heutagogy provides an approach to adult education that is based on learner determined learning and it recognises that this requires a transformation of learning processes beyond a teacher-delivered focus on content. But there are few guidelines or even descriptions of application of heutagogy to whole programmes of learning, and none on the application of this to Computing Education. In this paper we describe a case study of an independent learning pathway approach whereby heutagogy is the underlying principle for work-based learning professional practice programmes for computing professionals. Questions for further development and research are discussed. © 2018 IEEE.
