Knowledge is not ‘a thing’ and not a mere pool of data which can be managed. Knowledge is the process of learning. So what really matters is the question of how the process of learning changes in context with
Social Media
and Social Network Technologies. Gregory Bateson’s definition of
Learning III
, the “
learning about how to learn to learn
” predicted very early what kind of learning culture is needed today to meet the requirements of a world which becomes more closely and quickly connected and dependent on networks in all aspects of work and private life. With their theory of
Connectivism
George Siemens and Stephen Downs offered not only a learning theory that fits those needs exactly, but also a tool
: MOOCs
. They surely are not the “digital Tsunami” many proclaim (and fear) but – consciously used - could open the door to a new culture of learning in the clouds.
