  • In other words, CouchSurfing is a largely rhizomatous affiliation of strangers intersecting with one another not only out of self-interest but for the good of all. How can we explain this pervasive and—some would say—unexpected coöperation?

    In education, heutagogy, a concept coined by Stewart Hase of Southern Cross University and Chris Kenyon in Australia, is the study of self-determined learning. The notion is an expansion and reinterpretation of andragogy, and it is possible to mistake it for the same.

  • Knowledge is a rhizome, a snapshot of interconnected ties in constant flux that is evaluated by its success in context.
  • rhizomatic learning distributes the channels of knowing outside traditional hierarchical models and into the social realm, allowing for help in sifting through the flow of information and knowledge. These “social learning practices are allowing for a more discursive rhizomatic approach to knowledge discovery” (Cormier, 2008, p. 3).
  • They especially need a learning community
  • ...7 more annotations...
  • knowledge production becomes a participatory process based in communities, with members trying to solve problems, tap into existing trends or simply exploring by helping someone else.
  • expertise and experience are still critical to the success of any community
  • A learning community is a specialized version that inverts the normal pattern of responsibility from being responsible to oneself to being responsible for the learning of the people with whom one is involved
  • “Learning together depends on the quality of relationships of trust and mutual engagement that members develop with each other, a productive management of community boundaries, and the ability of some to take leadership and to play various roles in moving the inquiry forward” (Wenger, White, & Smith, 2009, p. 8).
  • What the leaders of these guild style communities need to teach people, then, has little to do with content and more to do with actually using communities to learn.
  • Being able to participate in live knowledge building on a daily basis with a group of peers, on the other hand, is a privilege of the so-called digital age.

  • There are multiple examples globally of this kind of experimental curriculum design, some of which are already making the transition from ideas stage to design. The New Basics in Australia was an early example. Q2L in New York is a current program. In the UK, Enquiring Minds, Learning Futures, and Young People's Geographies are all illustrative of a centrifugal trend to allow alternative knowledges into the curriculum and to switch those networks together with school. Over time, these experimental designs may become blueprints for more mainstream curriculum design interventions.

    random notes: Dave goes in to a description here of the Nomad as being the way of talking about the learner and what the learner is doing. The Nomad as a goal, what we want from education -- independence, responsibility and decision-making within the process. The learner makes the decisions, follows the rhizomes. Metaphor as a lens Violence in classroom ... (need to find out more about the class the Dave is trying to actively teach this way) Talk about rhizome as community ... EdTechTalk as an example ... Garden as structure -- compares of Appreciative Inquiry (cool! :) ... not content just the structure Frame -- syllabus as opposed to curriculum (need to finish ...)
