This is another 'first of a series' post from the Matter and Space crowd. The authors are attempting to answer the question "What does a university look like in the world that emerges from this period of great upheaval?" and they approach it using something like a systems model, proposing "a model we call interactionalism," that is, "a set of principles for designing the skills and knowledge learners need - and the mechanisms by which they acquire them - in a world where human and machine intelligence work together." The terminology strikes me as a blend of 'connectivism' and 'human-autonomy teaming'. The framework seems reasonable, overall, but I would have to ask why the model, which includes things like "dynamic, adaptive content" and "multiple perspectives and sources" and "cultivation of self-directed learning" needs to happen in a university as such. Why not develop something like this as asociety-wide initiative, removing the barriers for entry, and making it an ongoing part of people's lives?
