Knowledge, Learning, Community

This (17 page PDF) is less a list of principles and more, as the subtitle says, a set of considerations offering "guidance for action based on goals, models of human learning, and use of technologies." It's well-structured and clearly reasoned (which is nice, because it's a lot easier for people to discern where their thinking diverges with the author's). I liked the basis in why we're offering educational services at all, and I liked the pragmatism of some of the considerations (for example, in identifying what parts of a teacher's or student's job really require a human to do the work, and what can be offloaded). This is draft; I didn't find a version of record. This and some other papers today vis Miguel Guhlin and Apostolos K (Mastondon is down so I can't attribute with links, and these were saved in my Pinboard 'read later' stack).
