What architectures do we need for learning?
Who should build them?
Domain of One’s Own
• drag ’n drop → design
• consumer → creator
• data mining → data control
• audience of 1 → public impact
• broadcast web→ synergic web
• course’s work→ student’s work
• ePortfolio → ePort
IDS taught me to be responsible for my learning and growth. You
learn to expand your returns. We do not post our “homework”
to a hidden, school controlled website. We share our work for all
of the world to see. This idea of owning your own domain allows
you to be confident in your work and take responsibility for
what you are learning, how you make connections in the world,
and how you share your knowledge. To me, this style of learning
and sharing is a good idea for Interdisciplinary Studies and all
other majors. Academic settings need to work on sharing each
other’s work, and being engaged in the world outside of
classroom walls.
