Tossing disconnected messages and resources into the commons without considering the needs and context of indented recipients (listeners/viewers/users) is unlikely to be a very successful approach.
Technical, social and economic developments in the Internet age have enabled an “aesthetic movement of collaborism” and a democratisation of design.
— Gerritzen and Lovink Everyone is a Designer in the Age of Social Media (2010), p. 24
Open design is developing out of a culture of sharing and reciprocity in which designers and end users connect directly, without the need for intermediate organizations, retailers, publishers or marketers.
Powerful digital tools, expert advice and high quality work are now freely available online. Anyone to participate in online conversations, activities and spaces, regardless of professional title or status. — Open Design Now: Why design cannot remain exclusive (2011). edited by Bas van Abel et al.

“Connectivism is the integration of principles explored by chaos, network, and complexity and self-organization theories. Learning is a process that
occurs within nebulous environments of shifting core elements – not entirely under the control of the
individual. Learning (defined as actionable
knowledge) can reside outside of ourselves (within an
organization or a database), is focused on connecting specialized information sets, and the connections that enable us to learn more are more important than our current state of knowing.”

“At its heart, connectivism is the
thesis that knowledge is distributed across a network of connections,
and therefore that learning consists of the ability to construct and traverse those networks.”

rather than content, looks more like an
online community than a course, and
doesn’t have a defined curriculum or

Jonathan Worth: “I curate a journey through a structure of learning, providing contextual links between specialist contributors,” says Worth. “Each year the journey is different (and relevant), and each year it accrues a long tail of content.”

“[L]ike literacy after the printing press, design is becoming too important to leave to a cloistered few. For design to become more relevant in a world like this, we must find ways of expanding design practice to amateurs and to communal practice.”
— Clay Shirky Gerritzen and Lovink, Everyone is a Designer in the Age of Social Media (2010), p. 24
Wicked Problems Social or cultural problems that are difficult or impossible to solve for 4 reasons:
1. Incomplete or contradictory knowledge, 2. Large number of people and opinions involved, 3. Large economic burden, 4. Interconnected nature of these problems with other problems
+ This demands interdisciplinary collaboration, and most importantly, perseverance.

Creative Exhaust “All of the byproducts of your creative process is your creative exhaust. Your thought processes, blog posts, napkin sketches, Dribbble shots, Youtube tutorials, first drafts, Github repositories, bug fixes, snapshots of works in progress all have tremendous value for yourself and for others. In fact, our creative exhaust can end up becoming much more impactful than our own individual work. It’s not about the work you do, but rather what that work enables others to do.”

“The new prosumers, on the other hand, are increasingly banding together in lateral networks, producing and sharing information goods, renewable energy, 3D printed products, and an array of services on a global Collaborative Commons at near zero marginal costs, disrupting the workings of capitalist markets. [. . .] If there is an underlying theme to the emerging cultural conflict, it is the “monopolization vs. democratization of everything.”” — Jeremy Rifkin, (2014), The Zero Marginal Cost Society: The Internet of Things, the Collaborative Commons, and the Eclipse of Capitalism

The five alternatives
Here are the five flag designs that NZ voters will rank in the first binding referendum in 2015.

Conclusions > Open education and Open Design can inform one another.
> It’s not about the wood (resource, artefact); it’s about singing around the camp fire (social, participatory, experiential).
> Develop strategies that integrate collaboration (in groups), cooperation (over networks) + crowdsourcing & dissemination.
