Way Back Then

In a 1998 eLearning Conference Jumpstart Session

– “Search Learning” is introduced

– “We must wake up to the fact that vast amounts of what we all know is not from a sequential indexed based book, it is from randomly searching, based on need. We must scrap what we know about education and start from what media and our children are teaching us. It’s all about ‘Search Learning’” - RC

Now What?In 2009 Google became the Global LMS

– “Collaborative Search Learning©” is introduced

– “We must wake up to the fact that vast amounts of what we all know is STILL not from a sequential indexed based book or an LMS, it is from randomly searching based on need. AND how we share it in collaboration with the world around us.” - RC

– The sequential course has evolved into a global collaborative of “Micro Learning Paths©”

–We need a “Global Learning Framework©”

“Human collaboration is what wraps context around and within a Knowledge Element/Object” – RC

Values/context shape how we view knowledge

Sorry… We must revisit our education debate on “Values Clarification” and present an ethical framework for context.

Global Learning Framework© Copyright 2009 Richard C. Close, No version can be reproduced in any format.

Knowledge is connectedto emotions, values and spiritNew Rule: ”Knowledge elements are not time and space locked in a data base. They are defined… by how they relate to one another in the human experience. That relationship defines the purpose of that piece of knowledge” - RC

Another Rule: ”Context defines relationship on the Internet” - RC

And Another Rule: ”Collaboration publishes context” - RC

Global Learning Framework© Copyright 2009 Richard C. Close, No version can be reproduced in any format.

It starts with understanding the relationship between an “Object” and

“Purpose”• Knowledge Element (KE)

is a word or piece of media that represents something– KE is still - dead!

• Knowledge Context (KC) is how a KE relates to the rest of the universe. – KC is fluid - Alive!– KC is context

She is morethan just a

“sharable content object”

Web 3.0 Context is Knowledge w/ Purpose

• This is the beginning of technical KEs linked to a purpose– How does the KE relate to me?– How does the KE relate to the

community?– How does the KE relate to the

world?

How do we knowwho owns what?

We will have to figure it out: ”Like an original pop song being copyrighted, collaborative knowledge is always a mix of many influences that are also copyrighted. So far we have gotten away with copyrighting the knowledge object. How do we copyright human collaboration? Can we copyright a value or emotion that makes the knowledge of value to the world?I think not” - RC
