Learning with strangers

Presentation from CSEDU 2014 (Barcelona) based on a paper by me and Terry Anderson, discussing our model of social forms. This one focuses on the value of sets, notably in terms of freedom, serendipity and diversity. It mentions issues arising such as trust, lack of social norms, reliability etc, and the value of collectives in supporting learning interactions where people are strangers and interacting outside rule-bound groups.
