Stephen Downes

Knowledge, Learning, Community

I read this document (24 page PDF) as part of my research into ethics for learning analytics (and I note, in passing, the almost complete absence of references to ethics for teachers among the discussions of learning analytics). What caught my interest in this document was the progressive and wide-reacing account of professional development it provides; it's far more than mere classroom training, and includes a wide degree of involvement in the community as part of its desciption of educational opportunities. I look at this framework (pictured - click here for large version) and realize I do all of these things to learn. I've done them all my life, which gave me a huge advantage over those who stayed with classroom training. And it leaves me wondering, why isn't all of our education for young people (up to and including university students) structured this way?
