      present two learners with the same content and they will still know the same thing but in different ways. 
  • What happens when online learning software ceases to be a type of content-consumption tool, where learning is "delivered," and becomes more like a content-authoring tool, where learning is created?”
  • The objective of a theory of learning networks is to describe the manner in which resources and services are organized in order to offer learning opportunities in a network environment.
  • ...7 more annotations...
  • The message is coded in a common ‘language’ where the code is open, not proprietary. So no particular software or device is needed to receive the code
  • Learning is instead thought of as a part of living,
  • Learning therefore evolves from being a transfer of content and knowledge to the production of content and knowledge.
  • This is a very important point, because it shows that traditional research methodology, and for that matter, traditional methods of testing and evaluation, as employed widely in the field of e-learning, will not be successful
  • Virtually all networks are chaotic systems.
  • science based on modeling and simulation, pattern recognition and interpretation, projection and uncertainty.
  • theory of connectivism, which asserts that knowledge - and therefore the learning of knowledge - is distributive, that is, not located in anygiven place (and therefore not 'transferred' or 'transacted' per se) but rather consists of the network of connections formed from experience and interactions with a knowing community.

  • Critical media literacy, in this context is utilized to combat the hegemonic power structures in society by training students to become critical thinkers, thereby transferring power from the hands of the distributers to the hands of the receivers.

      Might be the most importatn point in the entire paper
  • shifting the educational framework from read, write and react, to create, curate, and contemplate.
  • defining sources and credibility becomes an ongoing and nuanced conversation.
  • ...11 more annotations...
  • Curating content shifts the learning from passive to active
  • participatory spaces enable-archive, annotate, appropriate and recirculate
  • Jenkins
  • core set of key skills
  • While traditional techniques remain relevant for students today, there is a need to explore pedagogical models that aim to empower critical thinking within the context of digital realities for youth today.
  • play, performance, simulation, appropriation, multitasking, distributed cognition, collective intelligence, judgment, transmedia navigation, networking, and negotiation
  • Organization is no longer simply for daily routines, pastimes or hobbies, but also for news and current affairs.
  • curation as value-added.
  • When the lists are public, the user becomes a de facto expert in showing the value placed on certain sources, organizations, and individuals over others. This type of curation "allows the people formerly known as the audience to create value for one another every day" (Shirky 2010, 17).
  • Curation is an act of problem solving.
  • task of the curator is to organize the information into a story

  • Learning theories are concerned with the actual process of learning, not with the value of what is being learned. In a networked world,
  • the likelihood that a concept of learning will be linked depends on how well it is currently linked.
  • “the simple notion that some domains of knowledge contain vast numbers of weak interrelations that, if properly exploited, can greatly amplify learning by a process of inference

  • Unless you are auto-didactic learner (think Abe Lincoln) who can take a piece of content, internalize it, and not only retain it but apply it, MOOCs are likely problematic for you.
  • 5-8% retention rates. Couple that with weak (aka unauthentic) assessments,
  • In MOOCs today there is almost zero student choice,
  • ...2 more annotations...
  • Build your own (2nd GEN!) MOOC with purpose, solid learning design, and good pedagogical / andragogical models.
  • Let’s make it about quality and learning
