The learner who jumps into an activity may need to find background information on own/with friends from other sections of the course. This is exciting because it becomes like a hide-and-seek kind of game environment. Any friendships and working...

Learner and facilitator (partial) orientation material The navigation concept is that there is no superior sequence through the material, so the learner simply enters the course by choosing an "attractor" word that piques son interest. "Colouring,"...

  The learner who jumps into an activity may need to find background information on own/with friends from other sections of the course. This is exciting because it becomes like a hide-and-seek kind of game environment. Any friendships and working together are allowed; evaluation can be made on either individuals or pairs or groups.

It is the concept of capital, which is potential energy, as opposed to measuring/working with the flow of energy through the system. In gardening, you can only use so much soil and so many hoes. I'm also inclined to think of it in terms of tribal...

I agree and like your notion of testing what can be sustainable (as gardeners do) and you are right on with "relationship and service rather than artifically constrained rival products (copyrighted courses) should be the revenue generation model for...

Michael Cenkner commented on a bookmark Formal and Non-Formal Learning: Cattle Drives vs. Watering Holes November 8, 2012 - 7:01pm

It is great to see an extended metaphor in this landscape we live in of tweets, thanks very much for this. I am struck with the fact that many animals may not actually survive the drive, and that is thought of as OK, although society just deals with...

Soil then perhaps is analogous to design intelligence itself, where Jon plays the role of nature-God-evolution. Permaculture practitioners say, "Feed the soil, and the plants will take care of themselves." As complex as the myriad interlocking and...

@JonJon I'm coming around to agreeing with you that designing an online community i.e. with technology is fundamentally different in some ways from permaculture i.e. with living things. The thing is, living things grow all on their own, "nature...

Hello, Let's say the focus here is not in finding parallels with permaculture nor in using permaculture to describe online community, but rather with possibly identifying how permaculture principles may inform online community design. From there,...

Hi Eric, No, I'm going to ask Jon to add Ron as a user, which seems to be the only way for an outside user to access a forum. In the meantime I'd invite consideration of how the current topic as identified by Jon of "computer-supported...

Thanks Jon for the link and moniker of computer-supported collaborative argumentation tool. There was one whose name I'm trying to remember that had a bit of traction in Canada in K-12. They had conferences at one time and used it with some Northern...

@Jon, Oh! That answer the question in my email of five minutes ago. So how best to deal with this situation? My friend (Ron Berezan, the one whose website it cited above) is interested in this strand, but presumably not in other strands of this...
