Knowledge, Learning, Community

I wonder whether we've reached a tipping point on self-managed learning (what I have for many years been calling 'personal learning' and people before me have called heutagogy (among other names)). First, the Inside Higher Ed post, and now this, from a completely different community: "From my viewpoint, the key is to think ecosystems not platforms. We should be encouraging learners to develop a self-managing mindset. Most importantly we need to realise that most learning doesn't happen on the platforms we provide but 'out in the wild'." This time credit is being given to Dani Johnson and Priyanka Mehotra from Redthread Research; eventually the concept will be 'invented' by a researcher from MIT or Stanford and it will be a thing. (p.s. to the author of this blog: why don't you put your name on it?)
