Cognitive Bases: Connectivism - Learning is 
More Important than Knowing 
Knowledge 
is 
activated 
in 
the 
world 
as 
much 
as 
in 
the 
head 
of 
an 
individual. 
It 
exists 
through 
people 
participating 
in 
activities. 
Learning 
= 
process 
of 
creating 
connections 
and 
elaborating 
a 
network: 
Organisation, 
information, 
data, 
feelings 
images. 
Learning 
is 
more 
critical 
than 
knowing. 
Perceiving 
connections 
between 
fields, 
ideas 
and 
concepts 
is 
a 
core 
skill. 
Currency 
(accurate, 
up-­‐to-­‐date 
knowledge) 
is 
the 
intent 
of 
learning 
activities

requires

Learn from Users:

The

Questions 
tell 
you 
what

know, 
but 
also 
what 
s/he 
already 
knows. 
Example: 
in 
a 
webinar, 
someone 
asked, 
It 
strikes 
me 
that 
there's 
similarities 
with 
the 
Lean 
methodology: 
particularly 
Kanban, 
progressive 
disclosure, 
the 
Neme's 
Why?

and

What the Question Tells Us1/2 
The

has 
already 
looked 
at 
the 
ideas 
of 
Lean 
Information

and 
has 
some 
understanding 
of 
them. 
S/he 
attended 
the 
first 
webinar 
in 
the

where 
I 
talked 
about 
progressive

Her/his

the 
ideas 
presented 
in

2 
are 
functioning 
near 
the

as 
he 
s/has 
been 
able 
to 
integrate

What the Question Tells Us 2/2 
In 
asking 
the

the 
participant 
is 
also 
sharing 
his/her

the 
community 
– 
those

to

and 
make 
their

    RAY GALLON CU LT U R E C O M Presentation @RayGallon © 2014 Ray Gallon Cognitive Bases: Connectivism - Learning is More Important than Knowing Knowledge is activated in the world as much as in the head of an individual. It exists through people participating in activities. Learning = process of creating connections and elaborating a network: Organisation, information, data, feelings images. Learning is more critical than knowing. Perceiving connections between fields, ideas and concepts is a core skill. Currency (accurate, up-­‐to-­‐date knowledge) is the intent of learning activities -­‐ requires nurturing the networks Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Connectivism Essential Knowledge Components: Know how Know what Know where Know when Implied: Know how to be Know how to be with others

    RAY GALLON CU LT U R E C O M Presentation @RayGallon © 2014 Ray Gallon Learn from Users: Data Mine the Questions The top level of user feedback integration is simply to integrate questions. Questions tell you what a person wants to know, but also what s/he already knows. Example: in a webinar, someone asked, It strikes me that there's similarities with the Lean methodology: particularly Kanban, progressive disclosure, the Neme's Why? questioning and a focus on interruptions. Is this something Ray has looked at? If so, does he think there are similarities?

    RAY GALLON CU LT U R E C O M Presentation @RayGallon © 2014 Ray Gallon What the Question Tells Us1/2 The questioner has already looked at the ideas of Lean Information Flow, and has some understanding of them. S/he attended the first webinar in the series, where I talked about progressive disclosure. Her/his understanding of the ideas presented in session 2 are functioning near the top of the cognitive spiral, as he s/has been able to integrate them, reflect and evaluate them, and frame a question that goes beyond what is specifically discussed in the session.

    RAY GALLON CU LT U R E C O M Presentation @RayGallon © 2014 Ray Gallon What the Question Tells Us 2/2 In asking the question, the participant is also sharing his/her observation with the community – those attending the session, and those who will watch the recording. Community members might be motivated to look into Lean Information Flow and make their own conclusions. If we had an appropriate forum, they also might be motivated to express their conclusions to the community.
