Personal Learner Knowledge Graph
The big shift that needs to be made in education is to
shift from knowing content to knowing learners.
What is needed in education is something like a
Personal Learner Knowledge Graph (PLKG): a clear
profile of what a learner knows

Editor's Notes
“A rough sketch map of the possible topology of ARPANET by Larry Roberts. The map was drawn in the late 1960s as part of the planning for the network.”
ARPANET in 1984
“The pioneering research of Paul Baran in the 1960s, who envisioned a communications network that would survive a major enemy attacked. The sketch shows three different network topologies described in his RAND Memorandum, "On Distributed Communications: 1. Introduction to Distributed Communications Network" (August 1964). The distributed network structure offered the best survivability.”
digital
Cost to replicate and share almost zero. Increased ease in the ability to connect and communicate. Digital has made it easy to distribute.

Connectivist. Our MOOCs are informed by connectivist views of learning, namely, that knowledge is distributed and learning is the process of navigating, growing, and pruning connections.
Knowledge is generative. Learners need to create and share stuff – blogs, articles, images, videos, artifacts, etc
Coherence is learner formed & instructor guided. communicate my views of how different elements are related, but then ask learners to explore, deepen, and extend the ideas I/we express with additional narratives/opinions/views
Interactions are distributed, multi-spaced. many spaces of interactions
Synchronization. we act and react to those around us in ways that creates some structure or part uniformity of understanding
Resonance. certain ideas have uptake in a network in con. trast with others
Innovation & impact focused.
Fostering autonomous and self-regulated learners . what can learners do for themselves with digital tools and networks
