      Now that is a true test I'd say. The world outside of academia doesn't mark on the curve.
  • diluted her role as an expert, reducing her to just another figure with limited video skills. That also limited her ability to act as an authority figure, one that plays an essential role in keeping the discussion from degenerating into chaos.

      back to issues of authority and control. Interesting how many discussions about higher ed center on these two themes.

    fantastic experiment not sure if the title of the article is justified in the text. Biggest complaint seems to be loss of control and authority. hmmm "Students having their classroom ideas judged not simply by their peers but by a far wider audience" and that is a bad thing because...?

  • Albert-László Barabási states that “nodes always compete for connections because links represent survival in an interconnected world” (2002, p.106).

      My prediction is that the schools that initiate and establish contact with other schools for authentic inquiry based learning using connectivist tools will gain greater immunity from irrelavence. Relavence will become increasingly important to parents/students when choosing venues for learning to occur. A colleague once said to me that academic results at the private schools she chose for her kids were not as important as the lifelong connections they made with friends with influence. Optimistically I disagreed, but the power of connectivism whilst not immediately apparent is related at the contextual core to this element of Darwinist process.
  • Some questions to explore in relation to learning theories and the impact of technology and new sciences (chaos and networks) on learning: How are learning theories impacted when knowledge is no longer acquired in the linear manner? What adjustments need to made with learning theories when technology performs many of the cognitive operations previously performed by learners (information storage and retrieval). How can we continue to stay current in a rapidly evolving information ecology? How do learning theories address moments where performance is needed in the absence of complete understanding? What is the impact of networks and complexity theories on learning? What is the impact of chaos as a complex pattern recognition process on learning? With increased recognition of interconnections in differing fields of knowledge, how are systems and ecology theories perceived in light of learning tasks?
  • Constructivism suggests that learners create knowledge as they attempt to understand their experiences (Driscoll, 2000, p. 376).

  • I'm not saying these are necessarily bad things. I'm just saying they no longer exist as they once did b/c they relied on an inaccessibility/scarcity of information and the difficulty of forming and maintaining groups: two things media networks obviously do very well.
