Points raised after the presentation

LGC OpenLearn Debate

Point raised:

Agree it is more a question of context that content. Need to test the principles with community of learners that could be in conventional and unconventional workspaces.

Mike Sharples:

Look at Bonnie A. Nardi’s work:

Context And Consciousness: Activity Theory And Human-computer Interaction. Cambridge, Ma: Mit Press, 1996

Nardi, B. (1992). Studying context: A comparison of activity theory, situated action models and distributed cognition. Proceedings East-West Conference on Human-Computer Interaction. August 4–8, St. Petersburg, Russia. Pp. 352–359.

Difference between activity (object oriented) and satisfying an objective. Situated action is different. Need to capture the context, reify it, reflect on it, and decide if it can be an object of further learning.

Denise Whitelock:

Being an empiricist ask “How can I move forward when I am not sure what I am dealing with?” You have a lot of tacit knowledge. Suggest you use a repertory grid, place examples on it and say what is closest and farthest away, generate a conversation about an artefact.

John Seely-Brown:

Did not know about this work and found it tremendously rewarding (check tape). You should consider the dialectic between the institution and learning. What hit me, is that maybe examples already exists. If look at World of Warcraft, it is precisely LGC. Mantra of these games guys is ‘if I am learning it ain’t fun’. Blow open the vocabulary. Educators are not sure.

Another:

A philosophical position, yes explore the epistemology of knowledge and information. Boundaries with other work. Talking a lot about resources rich environments. Should also look at developing worlds or even Appalachia in the US.
