Croatia: CARNET

Learning in complex knowledge spaces George Siemens November 15, 2011 Rijeka, Croatia CARNET

Our education system must map to the reality of society today, namely:

Abundance of Information

Complexity(dynamicconnectedness)of knowledgeand knowledgespaces Barry Kade, 2009

Complex systems:“a set of diverse actors who dynamically interactwith one another awash in a sea of feedbacks.” Miller and Page, 2007

Re-balancing of powerFrom organization to individualFrom individual to “the machine”

Abundance has always been with us, but now it’s, um, more abundant

More is different

Complexity is different

“The internet has enabled fundamental businesstransformations that span the entire value chainin virtually all sectors”

McKinsey, 2011

But the internet is still in its infancy

Especially in education

Our education system today must reconcile itself with information and conversations that are:OpenAccessibleDistributedScalableSocialNetworkedSelf-organizingCreativity-drivenDerivative and iterative improvementsConnected to amplify effectsAdaptiveGlobalMultimedia-based

If “it” changes how we interact with information

Or how we interact with each other…

Then it will impact teaching, learning, education

Or, put another way: Education systems track the architecture of information of an era

And, wow, we’re messing with the architecture of information

(think of these examples not as specific tools,but as new affordances; new action potential)

Layering info onto physical space

Injecting new information into current context

Jail break the Matri(patri)archy

Finding patterns in historical information

Tools that enable us to think together

Tools that enable us to create together

Tools that enable us to debate together

The education system has aresponsibility to prepare learners for this world

Apps as channels Rafael Kage, 2011

Learner self-organization hannah sheffield, 2007

Online Self-Organizing Social Systems (OSOSS)“structure allows large numbers of individuals toself-organize in a highly decentralized mannerin order to solve problems and accomplish othergoals.” Wiley & Edwards 2003

Participatory sensemaking:“the coordination of intentional activity ininteraction, whereby individual sense-makingprocesses are affected and new domains ofsocial sense-making can be generated that werenot available to each individual on her own” De Jaegher and Di Paolo 2007
