Valary Oleinik's insight:
Everyone is not ready right now to learn on their own but everyone can get to that point. Helping students learn how to learn is the hard part. Once they have the tools and motivation there are few things they can't learn on their own.

Heutagogy and lifelong learning: A review of heutagogical practice and self-determined learning...
Heutagogy, a form of self-determined learning with practices and principles rooted in andragogy, has recently resurfaced as a learning approach after a decade of limited attention. In a heutagogical approach to teaching and learning, learners are highly autonomous and self-determined and emphasis is placed on development of learner capacity and capability with the goal of producing learners who are well-prepared for the complexities of today’s workplace. The approach has been proposed as a theory for applying to emerging technologies in distance education and for guiding distance education practice and the ways in which distance educators develop and deliver instruction using newer technologies such as social media.

Examining the relationship between PLEs and PLNs is useful. My feeling is that thinking about PLNs superceded thinking about PLEs as it draws attention to the social part of social media and Connectivism.

On January 27th, Cathy N. Davidson launches “The History and Future of (Mostly) Higher Education,” a MOOC connected to dozens of other courses and events distributed across the web. Over six weeks, Hybrid Pedagogy will host a discussion group, codenamed MOOC MOOC Dark Underbelly, a rowdy exploration of topics unearthed by the course and its offspring, a place to examine the deeper (and sometimes darker) issues implicated in these discussions. Our node will include related articles, curated content from participants, weekly #moocmooc chats, and more. Watch @hybridped and @moocmooc for details. In this article, Cathy offers 10 things she’s learned from making her meta-MOOC.

I'm actually participating in this MOOC so it is interesting to here the experiences of those behind the scenes.

Perhaps one might find the notion of open badges appealing. Open meaning what? Anyone can open their own diploma mill, err I mean badge-selling operation? Of course not. Badges would have to be accredited by someone. Not sure who, but I doubt getting that accreditation will be free. How could it be? What open means is market-driven. Badges will have monetary value. People want them as a route toward getting jobs. They will pay for them the same way they pay now for college credits. When we look at all the free, DIY learning that is out there now, it's free precisely because it hasn't been commodified. Via DML Competition
Valary Oleinik's insight:
Gamification and badging may be all the rage these days but it is useful to looking at the "dark" side of badging. Why are we really doing it. What will it really accomplish. I think it is new and novel right now and maybe hasn't really found its way, but it is trying to solve some issues that we need a solution for. How do we record our accomplishments past higher education? We list memberships and awards on resumes but don't always have a way to show that we have the skills and motivation to move our careers and lives in new directions.
