Over netwerken: uit de nieuwsbrief van George Siemens, ERN 08-05-2009 > My concern with the growth of social networks relates to how they are incorporated into education. Social networks are imported - as are many technologies and related concepts - from outside fields. We are, sadly, not leading in research on learning as a networked phenomenon. Our language and concepts are imported from math, physics, and sociology. That in itself is not bad. But to truly begin to utilize networks for learning, we need to ask questions that address needs in our field. How do learning networks differ from other networks? How does being connected influence how we develop our understanding of a subject? How can we utilize networks to improve quality of learning? How do social networks impact conceptual networks? and so on...
 * [|Should Computer Scientists Make Social-Networking Research a Higher Priority?] "Facebook and Wikipedia are just the beginning. The real power of social networks will be showcased by projects that unite far-flung participants to help track disease outbreaks, revolutionize neighborhood-watch programs, encourage energy conservation, and serve other civic and community goals...". No doubt, social networks will grow in prominence. We're still at the early stages of exploring how networks influence social relationships. Different types of social relationships arise when geography is not a factor. Sites like Twitter can provide people with strong social connections to people they have not yet met face-to-face. I have better relationships with people in other countries, due to social technologies, than I do with some people who are located in the same building as I am.

Over e-books: uit de nieuwsbrief van George Siemens, ERN 08-05-2009


 * Ebooks are growing in popularity. Some suggest we are at a turning point because "new modes of communication are starting to transform the legacy media such as books in ways that we are still in the process of finding out". Kindle has recently announced a larger reader for textbooks and newspapers. With the textbook market exceeding $5 billion, this move makes sense...but it's not going to be an automatic success. Long term change requires systemic reorganization. Digitizing books is the start of the change, not the end point.

Over netwerken en 'chaos', after all //resilient and sustainable//. > > It then follows that when tribes are entangled in their dark side (-T), they merely contribute to their chaotic situations. When they realize their bright side (+T), they generate simple solutions, practices, rituals and relationships. Those successes set the stage for subsequent institutional forms. The simplicity that tribes can provide to overall situations gets realized as a spill over effect of their being successful, cohesive, productive and energizing. > > A similar argument can be made for institutional forms providing critical mass of the prerequisite complications for complex market forms to emerge. Likewise, market forms introduce the needed complexity that enables the emergence of chaotic networking forms and responses. It then may come back around full circle, where networks provide the ripe chaotic conditions for simple tribes to reemerge -- perhaps as hyper-localized, self sustaining nodes in a resilient, sustainable network.
 * [|Citaat] (Tom Haskins): We can imagine that it takes a critical mass of tribes to generate enough situational simplicity for institutions to not fall prey to lingering chaos, instability, disruption and unpredictability. Without a critical mass of simplicity, the societal scale institutions would disintegrate as failed states, fallen dictators, or constant civil wars. The market scale institutions would go out of business, get bought out by a bigger rival or liquidate some of their holdings to sustain a faltering core operation.
