Learning

By whom?

What?

Guerrilla Learning

“want to” learning, not“have to” learning

Beyond supporting the curriculum

Learning by serendipity

Is“being a learning environment”a core purpose?

1949 - 1964

The Library
Provides the opportunity for personal enlightenment.
Encourages the love of learning.
Empowers people to fulfill their civic duty
Facilitates human connections.
Preserves and provides materials.
Expands capacity for creative expression.
Inspires and perpetuates hope

Access

Some online learning can only be accessed by co-creation

Producing + usage = Produsage

... the production of ideas takes place in a collaborative, participatory environment which breaks down the boundaries between producers and consumers and instead enables all participants to be users as well as producers of information and knowledge, or what I have come to call produsers.
Axel Bruns, Blogs, Wikipedia, Second life, and Beyond : from production to produsage (New York: Peter Lang, 2008).

These produsers engage not in a traditional form of content production, but are instead involved in produsage - the collaborative and continuous building and extending of existing content in pursuit of further improvement.
Axel Bruns, Blogs, Wikipedia, Second life, and Beyond : from production to produsage (New York: Peter Lang, 2008).

Where do our users get skills for produsage?
