interest & trajectory
Bounded membership; group identity, shared interest
Boundaryless; fuzzy,
intersecting interests

Rhizomatic Learning Dave Cormier
http://innovateonline.info/index.php?view=article&id=550
A rhizomatic plant has no center and no defined boundary; rather, it is made up of a number of semi-independent nodes, each of which is capable of growing and spreading on its own, bounded only by the limits of its habitat (Cormier 2008). ….
In the rhizomatic view, knowledge can only be negotiated, and the
contextual,contextual, collaborativecollaborative learning experience shared by constructivist and connectivist pedagogies is a social as well as a personal knowledge-creation process with mutable goals and constantly negotiated premises.
The rhizome metaphor, which represents a critical leap in coping with the loss of a canon against which to compare, judge, and value knowledge, may be particularly apt as a model for disciplines on the
bleeding edge where the canon is fluid
and knowledge is a moving target.
Thank you, Dave!

... More and more, knowledge management is going to be about reducing the cost of, and simplifying the process for, letting someone watch what you do. Nonintrusively. Time-shifted. Place-shifted. Searchable. Archivable. Retrievable.

stewards
http://www.flickr.com/photos/dani3l3/364684710/
“Technology stewards are people with enough experience of the workings of a community to understand its technology needs, and enough experience with technology to take leadership in addressing those needs…
Stewardship typically includes selecting and configuring technology, as well as supporting its use in the practice of the community.”
Wenger, White and Smith, 2007
