    Similar to Web 2.0, which makes use of newer web technologies for sharing information, eLearning 2.0 uses new technologies to distribute information, share knowledge and collaborate. Everyone knows about Wikipedia, a grand example of a wiki, but what about using smaller wikis in your workplace?

Education as a complex adaptive system? - Casting Out Nines - The Chronicle of Higher E... - 1 views

  • If you look at some of the descriptors of a complex adaptive system, these are certainly not the descriptors of traditional, formal higher (or lower) education. Emergence, self-similarity, self-organization… doesn’t sound like the usual notion of college, does it? Indeed, it’s hard to conceptualize just how a complex adaptive systems model of education would be implemented at all. But perhaps that’s an indicator of failed thinking — must we think of education as something to be implemented? Or is it something that happens? Whatever the case, the authors argue it’s just such a system that is needed to support environments where learning by doing takes place and where engagement happens both inside and outside of a classroom.
  • education is an ecosystem, full of dynamically-connected multiple agents that move in a web of interactions that ultimately change the course of the system itself over time.
  • Our Santa Fe Institute and SRI Inc. research is attempting to model educational subsystem behaviors through the lens of complex adaptive systems to better conceptualize the current educational ecosystem.

Governing by Wiki: Social Media Foresight Summary - Policy Horizons Canada - 1 views

    Lots to ponder in this article. First and foremost is my great surprise and delight to see a government policy document written in plain language that ordinary Canadians could read. We in the literacy community have been beating that drum with government for many years, usually to no avail. But besides that... I was struck by "Governance by Wiki". How does government respond to social media? Does a Twitter mob get to rule and change government policy by their numbers and shrillness? How does government consider the views of those who are not social media savvy, who don't blog, podcast and Tweet but who are still citizens who voices matter? Just wondering about these and other important issues raised in this article.

    As I slog through APA formatting, I found their guidance on how to source wkis very interesting: "Please note that the APA Style Guide to Electronic References warns writers that wikis (like Wikipedia, for example) are collaborative projects that cannot guarantee the verifiability or expertise of their entries." - It sounds like Purdue doesn't overly value connected knowledge!

    Thanks for sharing Joanne - I have used the purdue owl quite a few times over the years but have never had to reference a wiki. Our of interest I think I'll take a look at the APA style guide tomorrow and see if they are similarly sceptical...

    The Long Tail or long tail refers to the statistical property that a larger share of population rests within the tail of a probability distribution than observed under a "normal" or Gaussian distribution. The term Long Tail has gained popularity in recent times as describing the retailing strategy of selling a large number of unique items with relatively small quantities sold of each - usually in addition to selling fewer popular items in large quantities

    The more freedom and self directed learning the better I say, but what about bona fide credentials for the stiff upper lips of the world? This is a great site with step by step and tutorials. It all starts with research and wanting and learning to learn...
