Our education system must map to the reality of society today, namely:

Abundance of Information

Page 4: Croatia: CARNET

Barry Kade, 2009

Complexity (dynamic connectedness) of knowledge and knowledge spaces

Page 5: Croatia: CARNET

Complex systems: “a set of diverse actors who dynamically interact with one another awash in a sea of feedbacks.”

Miller and Page, 2007

Page 6: Croatia: CARNET

Re-balancing of power

From organization to individual

From individual to “the machine”

Page 7: Croatia: CARNET
Page 8: Croatia: CARNET

Abundance has always been with us, but now it’s, um,

more abundant

Page 9: Croatia: CARNET

More is different

Page 10: Croatia: CARNET

Complexity is different

“The internet has enabled fundamental business transformations that span the entire value chain in virtually all sectors”

But the internet is still in its infancy

Page 15: Croatia: CARNET

Especially in education

Page 16: Croatia: CARNET

Our education system today must reconcile itself with information and conversations that are:

Page 17: Croatia: CARNET

If “it” changes how we interact with information

Page 18: Croatia: CARNET

Or how we interact with each other…

Page 19: Croatia: CARNET

Then it will impact teaching, learning, education

Page 20: Croatia: CARNET

Or, put another way:Education systems track the

architecture of information of an era

Page 21: Croatia: CARNET

And, wow, we’re messing with the architecture of information

Page 22: Croatia: CARNET

(think of these examples not as specific tools, but as new affordances; new action potential)

Learner self-organization

hannah sheffield, 2007

Page 51: Croatia: CARNET

Online Self-Organizing Social Systems (OSOSS) “structure allows large numbers of individuals to self-organize in a highly decentralized manner in order to solve problems and accomplish other goals.”

Wiley & Edwards 2003

Page 52: Croatia: CARNET

Participatory sensemaking:“the coordination of intentional activity in interaction, whereby individual sense-making processes are affected and new domains of social sense-making can be generated that were not available to each individual on her own”
