Do you know the actual theories of learning? A learning theory is an attempt to describe how people learn, helping us understand this inherently complex process.

Does this article miss a crucial point? The critiques (Verhagen, Kerr, Branon and Downes) argue that Siemens has not said anything new about how an individual learns. But in C21st, it is an interaction of many people and artefacts and situations - not the individual - that produces action, speech, invention. And when we think of that aggregate as an actor, what shall we call the self-organising enhancement of capacity to interpret and use information, if not Learning?

I never found a paradigm. If a set of techniques and strategies that can end up converging on a theory. And an extension of constructivism

Whilst I've been quite critical of them, MOOCs are clearly 'happening'. If the learning technologists from 10 years ago could see where we have got to with learning technology (some of them can, but they've got short memories!), they'd probably be quite impressed by the emergence of large-scale open courses - particularly the institutional buy-in they have gained. Where my worries begin is that we lose perspective in the MOOC debate: not just from the anti-MOOC crowd, but from the pro-MOOC crowd. There is a need for us to say "What is this really about?"

Mark F. Christopher's insight:
"But it is a point that tends to miss the point. It’s a point that assumes social networks are an add-on, an extra…essentially a tech toy or a diversion from the “real” work or “real” sociality that makes the world go round. It hears all this enthusiasm about connection as about the social networking platforms themselves – “yay blog!’ or “yay Twitter!” – and not about the connections and actions and forms of identity that those networked environments make possible. It’s determinism, in that it reduces conversation about social networks to a conversation about platforms and tech, not about people and the ways in which they intersect with those platforms and tech to create new possibilities."

Mark F. Christopher's insight:
"My argument is that openness has not been oversold and that increased openness (of content, teaching/learning, analytics, policy, data, and technology) is really the only path forward for reform. Systems can be closed and blackboxed only once they are working well and the context in which they exist is stable. When everything is in a state of flux, we need opportunities for ideas to collide, innovations to be shared, concepts to be rehashed and mashedup, and iterative improvements to occur. Education today – at all levels – faces the challenge of tremendous change and unstettledness. Rigid systems break in periods of flux."

Two years old but well worth your time. Charles Jennings looks at the eight reasons to focus on informal learning. They are: There are imperatives for informal learningLearning is a process, not a series of of eventsMost learning occurs outside of the classroomThe vast majority of learning is socialA lot of formal learning is ineffectivePeople learn better when they are in chargeThere’s inherent inertia in formal approachesInformal and social learning are cost-effectiveDelete the scoop?
