COLLECTIVE LEARNING: charting the collective knowledge

This week we are exploring issues of collective learning. The position paper, linked yesterday contains some background information on collective learning and identifies some key issues.

Today there is a scheduled synchronous session at 5pm (UK time) (12:00 noon eastern, check time zones). We will explore some of the key research questions surrounding collective learning, and discuss some examples of collective learning contributed by course participants.

One key question in Collective Learning is how we understand the binding force that connects people while they are learning. Read this blog post http://littlebylittlejohn.com/charting/ which puts forward some alternative views.

Do you agree? Why not contribute to the debate by posting a response on your blog (or any other tool) to the ideas discussed. What do you think is the ‘binding force’ that connects people while they are learning in groups, networks and collectives? The ‘further reading’ (below) outlines contemporary thinking about binding forces in networks and discusses what these terms mean. Use the tags #change11 #collective to share ideas.

Collective Learning . . . all together now!
blackste, eLearning at Yarra Hills
I love the concept of collective learning. Making use of people and organisations with different skills is absolutely how the real work functions in business - but rarely in education. I suspect that too often there is a confusion between the concepts of group work and collective learning and I believe there is a fundamental difference between the two.Group work tends to take place when a small group of students are asked to produce a piece of work together. Usually there is little .... [Link] 2011-10-04T04:44:00.000-07:00 [Comment]

Crowdsourcing: Ingenuity or pure laziness?
vhaustudent, Diving Deep and Flying High
In #change 11 we are being challenged to examine collective learning with a focus on how we learn. As one who comes from the business sector and not that of the academic sector, I can't help but synthesis how this applies within my given context. Many companies have turned to crowdsourcing in their research and development of products or services. I have seen numerous academics do likewise (although they have not called it "crowdsourcing"). Crowdsourcing is defined by crowdsourcing..... [Link] 2011-10-04T08:37:00.000-04:00 [Comment]

I am admittedly not too familiar with economics, but I sense unfairness in a system that is closed to many yet results in inequities to those bright enough to persist despite financial hardship.
