Emergence
By Jon Dron August 25, 2007 - 9:18am
A nice post by Doug Noon on the significance of constraints in a complex system, applied to the role of a teacher in a classroom with kids. There are, unsurprisingly, several parallels with some of the principles that I have explored in my book (Control and Constraint in E-Learning: Choosing When to Choose), including the need for diversity and redundancy, local interactions, and randomness vs coherence, but Noon's focus on practical issues for teachers and the human interaction side of things is refreshing and thoughtful. There is a good discussion developing around the post in the comments too.
