Connected Knowledge and the language barrier
AK, Multilitteratus Incognitus
I've been mostly lurking these past couple of weeks on CCK11. I've enjoyed reading both assigned readings and reading through blog entries of participants. Most blog entries are in English, which isn't surprising considering that this MOOC is run in English, but at least once, if not, more times per week I've seen postings in Italian, French and Portuguese - I'm sure I've seen Spanish as well, but I really don't remember. I definitely saw some Spanish in .... [Link] 2011-03-03T22:14:00 [Comment]

Dança necessária!
T, lúcidaTranslúcida #CCK11
InspiraçãoSeparei o que mais gostei!O único  post que insinua uma motivação para que eu escreva sobre a complexidade na educação é este aqui.Há um contraste entre o que se faz rápido e o que opera lentamente. As mudanças não acontecem em um mesmo ritmo, deve ser parte do processo; desejo acreditar nesta frase.Mas romper com o sistema instalado não é fácil, principalmente quando a incerteza exerce uma força que imobiliza e o trabalho mais "pesado" é o de romper , esta ....

Who is the teacher in connectivist and network learning? #cck11
jaapsoft2, connectiv
In a ‘mesh‘ network  (Like the image ,without central node) every person (node)  has ‘teacher-function’ . Teacher functions are aspects of the role of teacher. A teacher explains, guides, coaches, has social leadership functions, relates to students, enthusiasms, supports, etc. In a high quality  mesh network every node will/must show some of these teacher functions.

#CCK11 The flow of Connectivism
suifaijohnmak, Learner Weblog
This is a post* I created in CCK09. Does it look familiar in CCK2011?  Have I been able to see some patterns.  There are some changes here in CCK11. May be this time, the Moodle forum is gone.  The participants … Continue reading → [Link] 2011-03-03T03:46:32 [Comment]

Connected Knowledge and the language barrier
jaap, 1110 - Multilitteratus Incognitus, March 4, 2011.

---

This is a good point. But there is more in it. A blogpost in a non English language often comes from members from other cultures with different views. In that way members only reading English do miss a lot of the 'weak ties' and challenging information from foreign people. Even education and science in non-English countries differs from that in English countries. The education system and the content of education differs. In USA far more people seem to believe constructivistic philosophical views on epistomology than in continental Europe. So it is not only a language barrier, it is a far reaching cultural [Comment]

#CCK11: Mapping the Complexity of Knowledge
Ken Anderson, 1154 - Communications & Society, March 3, 2011.

---

I am wondering about the study of complex adaptive systems, and wondering if the systems approach is sufficient. I understand the argument in CAS to be input-process-output, where output cannot be predicted due to the complexity of the process. This view of CAS suggests that inputs are external to the process. I wonder what new understandings could be reached, if inputs were considered to be part of the process, and not external to it? I have to think this through, but I wonder if anyone knows of ways to approach an understanding of CAS without a linear systems approach to [Comment]

#CCK11 Moving beyond Connectivism
Ken Anderson, 1242 - Ken's World, March 3, 2011.

---

Hello Ken (yes, I am addressing myself here :-) I wonder at the need to move beyond connectivism at such a seemingly early stage in the discussion. Is it merely the apparent emotive nature of the word, the disagreements that it produces, that lead you to seek a different language framework? Is it the value linkages that connectivism has spawned, the linkage of influential = undesirable in the distribution of [Comment]

In Defense of Ideology
Ken Anderson, 1186 - Connectivism-2011 (per alQpr), March 3, 2011.

---

Hi Alan. So your value is stated this way: >With regard to social networking this ideological tendency causes me to prefer a more equal distribution of connections (subject to consistency with the wishes of the participants) as a goal in its own right whenever that does not conflict with other goals. Can I ask you why you value a more equal distribution of connections? Could you flesh this out a bit more? Thanks [Comment]
