Knowledge, Learning, Community

David Jones documents his investigations into Foam (discussed here last week) along with some other tools that support the same sort of model. I have called it the Aggregate-Remix-Repurpose-Feed Forward (ARRFF) model of personal learning in a network environment, though other names are offered (including Jarche's 'Seek Sense Share' and SecondBrain's CODE). It's a tentative post, and as Jones remarks, "the technical knowledge required to get going is relatively high." But maybe - as these tools evolve and become more useful - we'll have the core of the long awaited personal learning environment (PLE) to look forward to. See also Zettelkasten and SecondBrain.
