COLLECTIVE LEARNING

This is the last day of the week on collective learning, we hope you have enjoyed thinking about some of the issues we have presented and discussed. In our work, we have tried to define the knowledge actions underpinning collective learning as described in the post here http://littleby littlejohn.com/charting.html Using these actions as a framework has helped us think about collective learning.

Do you think the knowledge actions of consume, connect, create, contribute are a useful framework to think about collective learning? What online (and offline?) tools support these behaviours? Is there anything missing within this toolset? Use #change11 and #collective5 to share your ideas as usual.

Today there is a scheduled synchronous session at 5pm (UK time) where we will reflect on the ideas presented during the week and the different perspectives provided by course participants. (Browse blog posts here)

The online session starts at 12:00 noon Atlantic (11:00 a.m. Eastern, check your time zone). Click here to enter the meeting.

We will continue to synthesise the ideas collected during the course of this week and will provide links on our blogs (list all blogs) tagged as usual: #change11 and #collective

#change11 Collective Learning Examples

Example 1: Learning from CoworkersWhen working on a day to day task, one learns more efficient, better, and different ways of performing that task. The way one does that is by observing and talking with their coworkers when at work. These lessons then become part of our daily routine of performing those tasks. We take the best practices and embed them into our daily routine, while leaving out the less efficient practices.Example 2: Learning from ResearchingWhen we are researching for certain ....

Tools for Collective Learning
brainysmurf, 120 - Educational Technology - Insights, October 6, 2011.

Good question, George. Creating a mash-up of the knowledge, repurposing it and contributing it to the collective were things that I was hesitant to do earlier in my moocing experience. It took something more personal than technical know-how (though that was important too). It took risk, trust and confidence on my part to feel that creating and contributing outside my own head or my own desk was worthwhile and that I could participate without compromising my privacy. It was also thanks to fellow moocers that I recognized the value (dare I say obligation) of reciprocity such that creating and contributing is a commitment I make to honour others who have done so for much longer than I. Maybe we need to add a fifth 'c' to the charting framework then: [Comment]
