New structures and spaces of learning: The systemic impact of connective knowledge, connectivism, and networked learning

Posted on 05 September 2008 by jrobes

Traditionelle Bildung beruht auf zwei Prinzipien: “bounded classrooms and hierarchical organization of information and content”. Räume und Strukturen. Doch in einer zunehmend vernetzten Welt sind längst andere Strukturen gefragt, die George Siemens mit “learning ecologies” und “learning networks” beschreibt. Aber das Beharrungsvermögen der bestehenden Systeme ist groß, wir müssen uns auf einen langfristigen Wandel einstellen. Wohin dieser Wandel führen kann, zeigt Siemens abschließend am Beispiel der Universitäten auf.

“When applied to the academic sector, dialogue about changing learning spaces and structures suggests a fundamental rethinking of classrooms, courses, and programs is needed. Given the opportunities of technology to extend access to content, experts, and peer learners, does an existing classroom model still make sense? Do one-instructor classrooms need to give way to more diverse approaches of many instructors and many peer learners? How should curriculum be developed? How much structure needs to be applied to this type of model in the development of curricula and in the planning of instruction? Does instructional design similarly need to be rethought?” 

Der Artikel enthält wichtige Beschreibungen und schöne Visualisierungen einer Learning Ecology, da er aber weitgehend auf konkrete Anknüpfungspunkte in der aktuellen Bildungspolitik verzichtet, bleibt er etwas abstrakt. Aber vielleicht genau die richtige Einstimmung für den Online-Kurs über “Connectivism & Connective Knowledge”, der am Montag beginnt.

Teemu Arina macht hier noch einmal Werbung für den “MOOC”, den “Massive Open Online Course” über “Connectivism & Connective Knowledge”, den Stephen Downes und George Siemens zwischen September und November anbieten. “Exploring emerging topics in knowledge, learning and technology, It’s going to be held online and will utilize latest Web 2.0 technologies and distributed approaches. What is more important, is that if someone is going to pull this off, it’s George and Stephen, both the most visionary and knowledgeable teachers I’ve ever had online.”

Es gibt ein Konferenz-Blog, ein Konferenz-Wiki und eine Agenda:
- Week 1: (September 7-13) What is Connectivism?
- Week 2: (September 14-20) Rethinking epistemology: Connective knowledge
- Week 3: (September 21-27) Properties of Networks
- Week 4: (September 28-October 4) History of networked learning
- Week 5: (October 5-11) Connectives and Collectives: Distinctions between networks and groups
- Week 6: (October 12-18) Complexity, Chaos and Research
- Week 7: (October 18-25) Instructional design and connectivism
- Week 8: (October 26-November 1) Power, control, validity, and authority in distributed environments
- Week 9: (November 2-8) What becomes of the teacher? New roles for educators
- Week 10: (November 9-15) Openness: social change and future directions
- Week 11: (November 16-22) Systemic change: How do institutions respond?
- Week 12: (November 23-29) The Future of Connectivism

Ich werde sicher vorbeischauen, wann immer sich die Gelegenheit bietet.
