The idea of 'designing activity' for learning has almost become an aspect of 'political correctness' in teaching. What does it mean? How might cybernetics help us to understand the concept of 'learning activity', or even activity in general?One way of looking at it is the simple equation that relates one teacher to many students. Activity through technology at least can serve to amplify the variety...

This improvisation takes it's cue from Isobel's practise of her grade 1 pieces which she recorded (it begins her playing, which I then take over). I suppose this is a type of participative online activity which I'm becoming very interested in.. particularly keen on the 'virtual choir' (see http://ericwhitacre.com/the-virtual-choir).I see a relationship between activity and communication, where activity...

As with all human agency, e-learning contributes to a technological lifeworld which continues beyond any individual life. It's causal in the development of new younger lives and transformative of social structures and communications which form the context for lives to come. Universities have played a key role in safeguarding the agency of learning of past generations; the living go there to consort...

To what extent is bureaucracy in institutions ultimately concerned for fairness for individuals? To what extent does it relate to 'due process' and morality? What is the relationship between the ontological matters of 'being fair' with the epistemological matters of knowledge and learning? To be practical about this, is it fair for a student to fail because they 'don't know' something that we deem...

This improvisation is a bit random... but I'm starting to think about the relationship between the bureaucracy of the institution and the communication of teaching and learning with the reproduction and transformation of value that goes with it. Not sure how this might work, but there would appear to be different levels of value, with the values associated with the 'observation of an effective bureaucracy'...

I blog much more than I Tweet! (I got bored with Twitter a while ago... after encouraging everyone around me to use it... must stop that - bad habit!)I've just signed up for Twitterfeed which will tweet my blogging. That'll be interesting...

I'm having trouble sleeping at the moment. So time for interesting discussions with Astrid! (she was obviously delighted!) 1. The difference between art and religion. Seen from the perspective of perception and communication, art concerns the drawing out from deep perception to communication; it concerns communicating things we don't normally communicate. Religion concerns using communicative practices...

Bill told me about a French philosopher who remembered his childhood memories by returning to his childhood home, remembering that he ran his finger against the wall, to find that only when he ran his finger against the wall at the height of a 3-year old would the memories return. This ties into the idea of memory involving a dynamic mechanism between essences and their context.Also thinking about...

Must think about the relationship between context, essence and memory. In what way is it an ecological thing? How does it fit into the model that I already have?Busy day on Eluminate with JI...

Maybe I ought to write something.. I've put lots of videos up recently and no commentary! About to embark on more elluminate interviews. Lots of arguments yesterday concerning utopianism in elearning. There does seem to be something opening up with regard to agile development for process design. Should we let managers solve their own problems rather than determine the problems they ought to have?...
