This document summarizes Vance Stevens' presentation on chaos in learning and how to resolve it through networking. The presentation discusses chaos theory and how chaos can be navigated by developing strategies, literacies, and a network. It advocates connecting with others through social media, MOOCs, and communities of practice to make sense of chaos and facilitate deeper learning. The presentation concludes that rethinking learning, flipping instruction, participating in open courses, and empowering student creativity can help resolve present chaos in education.

- 7. Siemens on Chaos "I’m not aware of any research actually that says linear structure produces better outcomes than more chaotic meandering structure. Our intent … is to argue that – the experience of learning, making sense of that chaos, is actually the heart of the learning experience, – but if an instructor makes sense of that chaos for you and gives you all the readings and sets the full path in place for you then • you are eviscerating the learner’s experience • because now you’ve made sense of them and all you’ve told them is walk the path that I’ve formed. – When it comes to complexity I’m a great fan of letting learner’s hack their way through that path and getting the value of that learning experience and that sense-making process.” Vance Stevens January 2014
