…first try with Diigo auto-blogging feature works nicely, even if format aesthetics leave something to be desired so I tidied up the format, added images, page break and a head note -- and with it, more value.. I'll try to "fix" next week by post a few images during the week , especially toward the end of it. The post is long so I need to come in Sunday morning to add a head note, page break, whatever...at least one image if the "fix" doesn't work

Ethics Cheating and the Academy; where might we find Ambiguity Innovation and Creativity?

Introductionabout cheating, but the sources of images are not in the page, is that cheating? Rules and rules, all about assessment, not about learning?

Seems to me that building agency and self-efficacy in a rhizomatic learning environment is understanding what your want to learn about. What is your line of inquiry and what is your goal. I love this organization because it focuses on that very simple step of knowing how to ask a question and then figuring out how to answer it.

Literacy rewired our brains; will digital literacy free us again? Shlain describes the shift from orality to print as one that upset the balance between men and women resulting in lower political status/power for women and ultimately, patriarchy and misogyny. Fascinating book!

Gutenberg pause as power grab? In retrospect, you could filter it that way. Hard to imagine (for me anyway) a cabal of men sitting together and saying to themselves, "Now we need to shift to print as way to keep the women down." I can see it as an emergent effect from some other more potent and probably simpler need. Although power is a pretty simple need. Literacy as guild of men only? A boy's treehouse with no girls allowed? Hmmm.

"for #rhizo14 Rhizomatic Learning (which has its own board that I will pin from) but mostly because I like the images and the tangled root system of associated concepts in philosophy, education, SNA, network and communication theory, design, etc."

"Rhizome is a philosophical concept developed by Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari in their Capitalism and Schizophrenia (1972-1980) project. It is what Deleuze calls an "image of thought", based on the botanical rhizome, that apprehends multiplicities."

Really helpful post about the rhizome metaphor with outstanding RSA talk by Manuel Lima on networked learning. Encourages a new look at rhizomes and what might lead to diversity (you know they are clones). Bacteria?

Thoughts about the #Rhizo14 MOOC Research Project? INTRO BY MAHA: We can EACH have our own research agenda and work together to support each other in making it work for this course. This might mean four or five or ten different research questions led by different people, and supported by as many of us as are interested in the other's question. I see already we are on the path to a rhizomatic research approach that is not unidirectional and slightly chaotic but has such rich potential. This would hopefully result in different research projects and publications that each give a different perspective on rhizo14. A metaphor i like is "crystallization" - like a crystal, u can look at it and illuminate it from different angles and see totally different things. Would be beautiful to have this about #rhizo14.

"Anyone interested in doing research about the different forms of community interaction and its effects on learning in ‪#‎rhizo14‬? How would we go about that? (I assume it has been done for other cMOOCs but this could take a rhizomatic angle)."

Cross-fertilization from DL MOOC. Thx to James Kerr for sharing. Powerful spoken word on the irony of assessment/grading.

Competency-Based Education appeals to me because it seems easier for the teacher to be the facilitator/guide if not also responsible for the assessing/grading. Can it lead to independent learning?

It appeals to me too...I wonder why same person facilitating as assessing is rarely thought of as a conflict of interest. It's not impossible but can challenge impartiality

Michael Wesch's NetVibes aggregation page: links, feeds, Padlet message wall, resources, etc for digital ethnography/webculture courses, Kansas State University. Wesch's network - aggregation page, personal and course blogs, YouTube channel, etc is (in my opinion) a rhizome ~ with the caveat that my own understanding of the term is continually shifting

Embracing uncertainty takes courage. Shelley Wright is one of the most courageous teachers I know.

Bonnie Stewart response to Week 4 question: Do books make us stupid.

Dynamic critical reflection on #rhizo14 specifically and MOOCs in general. "Postman's Third Law: "At any given time, the chief source of bullshit with which you have to contend is yourself."

Maureen collects lots of stuff from rhizo14 here

I'd say Dave made himself dispensable ;-) See Comments, too.

Beautiful example of community learning with many-to-many creating together!
