Stephen Downes

Knowledge, Learning, Community
Really nice paper that looks at how technology changes the way we live and learn. Some excellent nuggets: the comparison between 'library culture' and 'information retrieval culture.' And: one's understanding of oneself, not as a set of skills, but as a user of skills to get along adaptably. And: a piece of technology is not epistemologically neutral; it oppens up new possibilities for experience and knowledge. And: "Freeing us from having a total fixed identity so that we may experience ourselves as multipleCRLFidentities disclosing multiple worlds..." And finally: "we can build a world that promotes both local worlds and a 'community of communities' that satisfies everyone's need for comprehensiveness." Do read this paper: it will help you see your own online course in a different light. By Hubert L. Dreyfus and Charles Spinosa, 1997?
