Knowledge, Learning, Community

The restaurant metaphor used by Dennis Callahan reminds me of the graphic I made last month to illustrate the difference between formal learning, xMOOCs and cMOOCs. Callahan writes, "As an adult, who is accountable for your diet and the food choices you make? You are accountable. You select food based on your dietary goals (e.g., balanced diet, losing or gaining weight, vegetarian, etc). You decide these food choices and this is similar to your own learning. You make learning choices based on your learning goals (e.g., learn to code, learn to play guitar, build a learning network, etc)."
