    In this video Downes shares his utopian anti-institutional view of education. He pleads for "learning beyond institutions", towards personal learning in a networked world.  Move towards anarchic learning, based on no models, no systems, no traditional ideals. Move beyond institutions and towards self-organised networks of learners. "Content is the McGuffin it's the thing that gets us talking with each other" "its the connections between people and neurones that is the actual learning"

  • However, the specific suggestion we address here is that vicarious learning is a distinct idea that may have its own implications, particularly for distance learners and others whose access to normal learning dialogue is limited.
  • Vicarious learning accordingly arises in situations where a learning experience is witnessed and reacted to as a learning experience by another learner.
  • This is a clear example of vicarious learning where the focus of the learning episode is some cognitive skill or understanding

  • The Answer Garden (Ackerman & Malone, 1990) and Answer Web (Slater, 1993) are computer-based learning systems based on networks of questions that have been asked by learners and answered by experts, allowing future learners simply to access these exchanges and thus to learn vicariously.

  • Collective intelligence is the hook to your participation and existence in these networks [in my humble opinion, that is]; the social interaction what brings it all together
  • My network is very important to me because it provides me with an alternative platform to test my ideas, to build new ideas, and to learn from other people’s ideas.
  • this is a perfect shapshot of so many of us who are active online in the various social network,

  • Very few Moocs lead to any sort of officially recognised qualification, so the recent success of the University of the People in being permitted to award degrees to students studying for its tuition-free, online-only courses marks a departure for the sector.
  • The University of the People, for example, states that undergraduates will study in groups of 30 to 40
  • he big question is whether you can [offer degrees] without tutorial support, and so at lower cost.

  • Moocs will have to change considerably to gain credibility and improve the quality of students' learning experience.
  • students will need to be extremely driven to get through.
  • The degree and quality of tutor interactions is seen as critical to any chance of success by others in the sector, too.
  • Mooc providers need to find ways to make the assessment richer, more meaningful and more reliable at scale for larger audiences."
  • These better options include courses from providers such as the Open University and Ed2Go that provide "quality education for specific certificate programs in a much more personalised setting at very competitive prices and, in many cases, to developing nations gratis."
