Warren Weaver's "Science and complexity" Revisited | SpringerLink - 0 views

  •  
    Mathematician Warren Weaver's article "Science and Complexity" explored the power of digital computers and on interdisciplinary collaborating "mixed teams." This article expands on the idea of organized complexity by looking at "fuzzy sets" as outlined by Lotfi A. Zadeh.

Knowledge networks: Innovation through communities of practice - 1 views

  •  
    A look at the "basics" of communities of practice. This text does a great job of answering the basic questions that make the concept a little fuzzy. It discusses the evolution of CoP's from its inception to today's practice.

What is a Personal Learning Network/Environment? - Technology Enhanced Learning - 7 views

  •  
    Connection between Personal Learning Network and the Constructivism theory. It explains how the members of the network are the ones that make the connection with another person with a specific intent that some type of learning will occur.

    Thanks for sharing, David. I like that Mackley and Vincent show the various branches of their PLNs because it gives me a frame of reference and helps me see where I need to focus my own efforts. I find the concept of the PLE to be fuzzy, and feel that I need to learn more about it and its relationship to the PLN.

    I liked this source because of the clear descriptions that it provides. I also loved the visuals at the end with the different networks that they are tied to.

    This article does a nice job of explaining PLNs and the theory surrounding them. The article includes definitions of personal learning environments, personal learning networks, and connectivism. I also like that it includes diagrams to compare their PLNs, as well as an introductory video.

    I picked this one, because it has a video that I found helpful. I learn better with sound and pictures. It stresses that PLNs are not things, but rather ideas. The other reason that I include this in my list is that the article actually provides diagrams of what different people's PLNs look like. Given that we're learning about this sort of thing in this unit, I thought I'd also mention this. Finally, I liked that this article acknowledges that according to the Theory of Connectivism, you don't even have to know the person who you're learning from.

    This article features an easy to digest definition of personal learning networks which includes a connection to connectivism in explanation of how PLNs work. The resource is made even more accessible in helping a reader understand the subject matter with a video and infographic examples of the authors own personal PLNs.

    This article gives a brief overview of PLNs and the theories behind them. It explains connectivism and its role in the benefits of PLNs. It also gives two examples of the authors' PLNs in the form of graphics.
