Knowledge, Learning, Community

Mark Johnson looks at the various tools he has over the years thought might lead to a personal learning environment (PLE) - "an idea that really came to nothing." Some of the tools for using AI are the latest candidate. "AI has the property of being able to return more variety than it is given." And this was basically what was true of the other tools. The idea was always to be able to begin with something relatively straightforward and easy to master, and to use it to open up a world of possibilities. I think that's a good insight. "The motivation to learn technical skill comes about through our hunger for greater variety. We need to design our pedagogy from this principle."
