For a while now, I’ve been contemplating a return to roots.
In the last few months from the tail end of annus horribilis that was 2017 to now, a series of events – mainly due to conversations and collaborations with people outside my field of corporate learning and development, has made me reflect on the exact reason why I left corporate Australia to become an independent consultant.
Back in 2012, I was inspired by the concept of people using technology to find each other, connect with each other and together work and create projects that solve complex problems. A series of different and unrelated events in my life (and which are still happening such as being involved in projects outside of work that got people who were strangers using digital tools to connect with each other around their particular craft fired me up).
This is what learning is about.
I referenced the connectivist learning theory which was first defined by George Siemens and Stephen Downes who called it “Learning for the Digital Age” – at its heart was personalised learning that included using tools to research, discover, contextualise, co-create and socialise with others.
