  • The Vagueness of George Siemens
    I like George Siemens and he says a lot of good things, but he is often quite vague, an imprecision that can be frustrating. Siemens dislikes the relativism that follows from the model. What can Siemens possibly mean by 'knowledge element'.

  • George Siemens Talks Dirty...and I agree with him...
    George Siemens ( elearnspace & CCK08 ) asserts that P2P University is "foreplay when we need consummation." quot; And this is where George argues (and where I agree) that the model starts to fall back on the old ways. "Sense-Makers"? If the intent is to establish a peer-to-peer university (yes, just like George says - we centralize accreditation) then wouldn't sense-makers just be the peers? quot; I think he's right. The good news is that at least we're dating.

Tags: george siemens learning memory Itiel Dror Stephen Downe During a break in yesterday's workshop, a group of us were talking about memory.

  • Personal Learning Tools and Technologies
    I just saw a post by George Siemens discussing evolution of PLE concept and pointed me to two posts by Chris Lott based on his initial question - "What does your PLE look like?" - Tired of PLE Flak and I'm not interested in the PLE which then pointed me to a bunch of other posts as well - on the PLE and An audit on where stand with PLEs . Unfortunately, Chris got some flak based on his initial question. The problem is that the question is somewhat complex to answer for any individual and so not something to be done lightly.
