Knowledge, Learning, Community

Remember Matter & Space? I wrote about it in April, quoting from George Siemens and Paul LeBlanc. As Matt Crosslin reports here, the website has disappeared (the URL now redirects to Southern New Hampshire University). Croisslin reports on "a LinkedIn post by Paul Leblanc, who says that Southern New Hampshire University has decided to bring the platform in-house," and a What I Learned post from George Siemens from September (covered here). Instead of finding out what's going on, Crosslin takes the opportunity to dump on AI in genmeral and Siemens in particular and to say "we know what works in education: time, funding, nutrition, safety for all, etc." which is about as empty as a comment can get. Me, I hope George is OK, I hope Paul finds himself at Harvard, and I hope Matt revels in the educational renaissance obviously happening in Texas.
