Knowledge, Learning, Community

I haven't followed up on the 'unstructured and unplanned' debate because it began to drift (but if you want to, here's Brian Lamb's post, and here's George Siemens's reponse, and my main reaction is gratitude that they cared enough to be honest and clear in what they said). But I did like this summary of the discussion from an arm's length perspective, and I'm sympathetic with the argument. "Lockdown will give them plenty of food for thought about the differences between their online experiences. It may lead them to consider whether they might learn more from the creativity of TikTok or Houseparty, making music videos or publishing art on Instagram, than in the hair-shirt of Internet-1. University leaders and teachers would do well to consider this question too with some urgency: their future may depend on it."
