1. The document introduces the Global Learning Framework (GLF) as a new approach to education that is collaborative, fluid, and focuses on sharing knowledge globally rather than keeping it contained within institutions. 2. The GLF emphasizes that knowledge is defined by how it relates to other knowledge and the human experience, not by being locked within databases or courses. It is shared through "Micro Learning Paths" that involve discovering, adopting, and collaborating on knowledge. 3. The framework aims to make knowledge a responsibility of all people by recognizing that personal and global knowledge are inseparable in the modern world. It argues that current education and training systems are outdated and must evolve to embrace collaborative global learning.

11. “ The Global Learning Framework is about the need, ownership, collaboration and awesome responsibility of human knowledge.” - RC

12. Four Rings of the Global Learning Framework © The human model must drive the data model Needs Knowledge Sharing Responsibility

13. Global Learning Framework © - Needs Knowledge Sharing Responsibility Needs

14. Start with the basics We are pack animals With technology

19. How do “We” compete with that?

20. The Global Learning Framework © “Starts with a real need” A need is futility Unless someone shares a solution Education is Power Education is Community

21. We have all of this knowledge. What do we do with it?

22. Perhaps we are there… When learning went to the Web, something really big happened. Home  School  Organizations  The World

23. How big of a leap is this? HOME: Parent /TV Driven – Life relationship skills, culture and core values SCHOOL: Society Driven – Foundational learning skills and values CORPORATE: Organization Driven – Organizational culture and processes PERSONAL: Personal Internet – Personal Filtering and Publishing Global Learning Context Local Learning Context GLOBAL: Internet Collaborative – Global Collaboration and Global Content

24. Global knowledge forced us into global responsibility Me  Family  Job  Community  The World I never asked for that!

25. Learning Technologies HOME: Family interaction and TV SCHOOL: School curriculum and mixed media CORPORATE: On-the-job , Stand up, eLearning (LMS) PERSONAL: Web 3.0 - Personal Filtering and Personal Publishing GLOBAL: Web 2.0 - Collaboration and Content

26. K-12 must deal with it, because the students are already there . GLOBAL Learning: What the world needs CORPORATE Learning: Survive PERSONAL Production: How I serve the world Global Relationships Local Relationships SCHOOL Learning: Success HOME Learning: Need K-12 must develop: the skills and ethics

27. Prepare the student with what tools? GLOBAL Learning: World Needs SCHOOL Learning: Foundation CORPORATE Learning: Survive PERSONAL Production: Individual Context Global Relationships Local Relationships Web 3.0 Web 2.0 LMS (SCORM) 1. Content 2. Community 3. Context HOME Learning: Need

28. Warning: Context must be taught Bud Light Swear Jar: Over 3 million reads views Porn Creep Junk Science Education Selling Sugar Political Religion Cyber Crime Zero Regulation False Advertising PR Wikis

29. Global Learning Framework © - Knowledge Needs Sharing Responsibility Knowledge

30. You don’t understand… I am this This(widow to Global Knowledge) lives inside of me. Our authoritarian time of knowing more than the student is gone. They need wisdom-guidance and not facts.

31. Global Learning Framework © ”Is accepting that you don’t own knowledge” Knowledge is globally collaborative -RC If you were given the knowledge to heal a sick child… would you deny it to them until you saw the profit in helping them?

32. What is Knowledge? Physical Object Or Physical Laws Wrapped in Non-physical Context

33. “ Knowledge is an object / law in relationship with the universe” - RC eLearning SCORM - Collaboration A Fact without Context

34. “ Knowledge is an object / law in relationship with the universe” - RC Knowledge Object + Context Reality

35. Tag Your It! Web 3.0 is the human world off collaborative tools , context by tagging

36. Knowledge without context is… useless Eugène Ionesco (1909–1994) “ The knife can kill” From the play “The Lesson” The Knife (or nuclear bomb) just is…. now what we do with it is another matter.

37. Collaboration teaches context “ Human collaboration is what wraps context around and within a Knowledge Element/Object” – RC

38. Values/context shape how we view knowledge Sorry… We must revisit our education debate on “Values Clarification” and present an ethical framework for context.

39. Knowledge is connected to emotions, values and spirit New Rule: ”Knowledge elements are not time and space locked in a data base. They are defined… by how they relate to one another in the human experience. That relationship defines the purpose of that piece of knowledge” - RC Another Rule: ”Context defines relationship on the Internet” - RC And Another Rule: ”Collaboration publishes context” - RC

41. Knowledge is connected to emotions, values and spirit New Rule: ”Knowledge elements are not time and space locked in a data base. They are defined… by how they relate to one another in the human experience.” - RC Hmmm… What about Knowledge Management and SCORM?

42. SCORM Ignores The Human Element “Sharable Content Object Reference Model” New Rule: ”Knowledge and Human Collaboration are Inseparable” - RC You mean my voice counts?

43. Global Learning Framework © - Sharing Needs Knowledge Responsibility Sharing

44. ” Global Learning Framework © ”The new test is in sharing what you know” When we share what was given to us… we define our significance.

45. Knowledge is Fluid Because it is Shared New Rule: ”Learning is fluid and evolves collectively based on need, collaboration and context.” - RC Yes…no more tests on Friday! An “A” means nothing. It’s my YouTube views that matter.

47. How do we know who owns what? We will have to figure it out: ”Like an original pop song being copyrighted, collaborative knowledge is always a mix of many influences that are also copyrighted. So far we have gotten away with copyrighting the knowledge object. How do we copyright human collaboration? Can we copyright a value or emotion that makes the knowledge of value to the world? I think not” - RC Mom!!!…Billy won’t share his ball with me!

48. How do we get out of the industrial learning box? Hmmm…I’m not sure if I’m ready for this.

49. LMS box is our school-in-the-box Perfect for “Drill and Kill” SCORM Content Courses Learning Management System Wiki Tool Blog Tool Web Content Ah…Very Stable , secure, authoritarian and in control
