Comment on Socialisation as information objects – what about diverse ways of learning by Plain_Gillian

Hey Damien,
As far as learning styles go wouldn’t you agree that they are on a continum? I know it would be difficult to change but not impossible and perhapse this change in style would make it even more of an important learning experience?
Thoughts,
Gillian (an intuitive and strongly global learner for disclosure )

I am a blog-o-holic which is good in this case but very distracting in real life!

Hi Damo

Your post has made me question about what really is unique in connectivism. Point by point on George’s article:
1. Didn’t other people make new connections in learning prior to 2009? What about Einstein, da Vinci and others? it would have been very interesting to review the way that those thinkers used their networks for surely they had them in some form.
2. Is connectivism a universal idea in a post-modern world? “that the same structure of learning that creates neural connections can be found in how we link ideas and in how we connect to people and information sources. One scepter to rule them all.” It is true that there is the promise of more context to come in the course but I still think it is a big call without more evidence in the post itself.
3. I think this is where the model holds great promise with the ‘prominence of tools’ and connections to identity, thought and knowledge.
4. Context has been discussed before in constructivism for example. Where connectivism has something to offer is its emphasis on the importance of context and where that can take students and teachers.
5. I think humans have always engaged in sense-making, understanding, coherance and meaning. Isn’t that what being human is about ? There may be a need to be more discriminating about information but I am yet to be convinced that connectivism is necessarily the only way to navigate through the context of change and chaos that George is describing. If connectivism is to work, people need to listen to each other. I am not sure that this happens anymore often in the blogosphere than the real world. People may think they are responding to a post when they are actually finding a way to broadcast their own ideas. One of the things that is the hardest I find is to understand and comment on a post in a way that indicates you have really thought about it. (and perhaps this is the case here sorry, Damo). I have to laugh at myself but it makes the point, I guess.

Hi Gillian,

Thanks for responding to my article.

What you have expressed sounds right on the money to me. It is an excellent example – much better than the one I presented.

Perhaps I need more diversity in my blogroll.
