✓Complexity

✓Ambiguity= practical code for awareness and readiness

Knowledge has a half-life.Courses are fairly static. Knowledge is dynamic—changing hourly, daily. [This] requires an understanding of the nature of the half-life of knowledge in their field [to ensure] that they select the right tools to keep content current for the learners.

What happens when knowledge flows too fast for processing or interpreting?

Siemens, G., 2006. Knowing knowledge.

Traditional approaches won’t work✓No classroom is large enough

✓No individual is smart enough

✓No response time is fast enough

✓No intervention is complete enough

✓No program lasts long enough

✓No solution is global enoughTodd, A. MOOCs for business presentation, 14 May 2013. WEF/Corp U.

21st century knowledge skillsAnchoring Staying focused on important tasks while undergoing a deluge of distractions.

Anchoring Managing knowledge flow and extracting important elements.

Connecting with each other Building networks in order to continue to stay current and informed.

Being human together Interacting at a human, not only utilitarian, level...to form social spaces.

Creating and deriving meaning Understanding implications, comprehending meaning and impact.

Evaluation and authentication Determining the value of knowledge... and ensuring authenticity.

Altered processes of validation

Validating people and ideas within appropriate context.

Critical and creative thinking Question and dreaming.

Pattern recognition Recognizing patterns and trends.

Navigate knowledge landscape

Navigating between repositories, people, technology, and ideas while achieving intended purposes.

Acceptance of uncertainty

Balancing what is known with the unknown... to see how existing knowledge relates to what we do not know.

Contextualizing Understanding the prominence of context... seeing continuums...ensuring key contextual issues are not overlooked in context-games.

Siemens, G., 2006. Knowing knowledge.

The skills and processes that will make us people of tomorrow are not yet embedded in our educational structures

Siemens, G., 2006. Knowing knowledge.

Que faire?

✓Learning is less and less about recalling information

✓Learning is more and more about know-where

✓Most of what people need to do cannot be learned through formal training

✓Improving the structure and quality of formal training therefore won’t get the job done

“Attempting to do more of what has been done in the past is not the answer. We need to do new things in new ways.”
