Those who struggle to create an adequate theory of

learning must admit that the process is much like

stumbling in the dark.

The developing structure of technology, neural research, institutional reorganization

(from hierarchy to network), and social impact of learning

under new ideologies, is evolving too rapidly to be

effectively detailed as “this is what it is.”

The moment this declaration is made, the environment has

shifted. We need to lay aside the desire to know, and

embrace instead the desire to continue to learn. Knowing is

no longer a destination. Knowing is a process of walking in varying degrees of alignment

with a dynamic environment.

Information was scarce

Key sources of information were controlled by an elite

Teachers were seen as the founts of knowledge

The economy demanded mass -production of learning

The curriculum was centrally determined

Pedagogy meant ‘knowledge transfer’

The conditions

thattypified the

school...

“The great mistake we educationists make is to suppose that schools are

about education. It is not so....they are about control...”

Woodrow Wilson

“We want one class of persons to have a liberal

education. We want another class of persons, a very much larger class of necessity, to forego the

privileges of liberal education and fit

themselves to perform specific difficult manual

tasks.”

“Education is an old ramshackle

windmillthat goes on

flapping its great arms

long after the miller has left.”

RF Mackenzie

Page 22: John Connell

A place where learning is the focus rather than teaching

A hub for educational resources and facilitation

A place for social learning (and solitary learning)

A focus for collaborative learning

An immersive environment

An open-learning environment built on negotation and mutual respect

An extended community resource

Derived from the thinking and writing ofStephen Downes and George Siemens

Page 24: John Connell

Learning and knowledge rest in

diversity of opinions

Page 25: John Connell

John ConnellJohn Connell

Learning is a process of connecting

specialized nodes or information sources

Page 26: John Connell

John ConnellJohn Connell

Capacity to know more is more

critical than what is currently known

Page 27: John Connell

John ConnellJohn Connell

Nurturing and maintaining

connections is needed to facilitate continual learning

Page 28: John Connell

John ConnellJohn Connell

Ability to see connections between

fields, ideas, and concepts is a core

skill.

The Purpose of Education in an Interconnected

World

Page 30: John Connell

John ConnellJohn Connell

“A good education system should have three purposes...”

Ivan Illich

from “Deschooling Society”

Page 31: John Connell

John ConnellJohn Connell

Ivan Illich

“It should provide all who want to learn with access to available resources at any time in their lives....”

Page 32: John Connell

John ConnellJohn Connell

Ivan Illich

“It should empower all who want to share what they know to find those who want to learn it from them....”

Page 33: John Connell

John ConnellJohn Connell

Ivan Illich

“It should furnish all who want to present an issue to the public with the opportunity to make their challenge known...”

Page 34: John Connell

John ConnellJohn Connell

The current search for new educational funnels must be

reversed into the search for their institutional inverse: educational

webs which heighten the opportunity for each one to

transform each moment of his living into one of learning,

sharing, and caring.

Education is being displaced from its traditional confines of institutions to a generalized

formof learning that can take

place anytime and anyplace

circulation and consumption is the network

...the knowledge economy or the information society is not a stable

structure with definitive functions, but a flexible condition where diverse

programs can be developed using fragments of knowledge from different

fields.

Educators play the same sort of role in society as journalists. They

are aggregators, assimilators, analysts and advisors. They are

middle links in an ecosystem

Stephen Downes

Knowledge is not located in any

given 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...

Everything is Miscellaneous?Everything is

Miscellaneous?“I was an academic a long time ago, but I haven't forgotten how isolated I felt in the philosophical community before the Web. Ideas were scarce back then because space, time and

the limitations of paper made it hard to hear what others were

saying and well nigh impossible to talk with them about it....”

Page 71: John Connell

John ConnellJohn Connell

David Weinberger

Everything is Miscellaneous?Everything is

Miscellaneous?“...today I am in contact with people

who come up with ideas I'd never have encountered, who are sources of wide expertise, who squirrel away in public on tiny topics, who spew a long tail of speculations with occasional insights that are worth the wait, who take me

apart because my logic is wrong or my biases are showing, and who support

my good ideas...”

“Without any doubt, I am in the richest, most stimulating, most fruitful

swirl of thought, knowledge, ideas and feeling ever in my life...far more

productive than when I was consigned to talking only with professionals and

credentialed experts.”

Philosophy...always comes on the scene too

late..… When philosophy paints its

gray in gray, then has a shape of life grown old. By philosophy’s gray in

gray it cannot be rejuvenated but only

understood.”
