Thinking about learning…

…daily notes via online learning.

Conceptual Writer/Creative/Copywriter/Cognitive Philosopher/SEO/CEO – Karolina (Kala) Karmaza

…daily reflection about a subject, which is a really interesting concept, makes online learning an exciting discovery. Creative learning, which is agreed to be one of the most inspirational of all ways of learning and development, at least by innovative modern educators like Sir Ken Robinson for instance, has been having a positive impact not only on the field called: EDUCATION, but it also makes a positive impact on person-centred learning and development (read more via online open-access academic resource). While we are more and more conscious of the most effective educational and didactic method’s, our structural base of the organizational side of learning and development, we are also free to choose the most appropriate to our personal needs related to the possibilities and limitations of a particular learner. We learn from the person-centred point of view, that only specified, customized learning makes sense when it comes to valuable development and progress in gaining knowledge. At the same time, person-centred learning is an achievable goal, that highlights the common purpose, meaning: accessible education, that inspires learners to being and becoming a productive part of modern society. It would have been great to have certainty, that every single learner who is adopting the method of person-centred creative learning and development is going to be and become a valued member of our modern XXI century society because of what he or/and she is going to learn in the process. Conscious educators and learners at the same time realize, that one can never be a 💯 % certain of the effects of such learning when it comes to evaluating personal creativity against rigid data about tests results on being uniquely creative and learning with the use of institutional standardized learning methods.

One may ask: Is it possible to measure creativity when applying it to learning and development, especially with an online resources via offline minds very often embodied and embedded in interactive and interdisciplinary thinking?

Modern innovative learning is a very attractive prospect. Modern educational systems, that are transformed accordingly because of the changes related to the economical and political transformations offer the educational programmes, that certain country citizens and learners require, at least in theory. That is why educational reforms are so inspirational, as each country brings in something unique to the overall learning and development in formal education systems. When it comes to online learning and development and homeschooling the freedom of choice is as rich as the educational material/content uploaded online. The is plenty to choose from via open access content, as well as there is a lot to subscribe to via commercial educational content being sold anywhere on the internet.

Unlike in the XX century, where each educational resource was locked either in the school library, college library or/and academic/university library for the submitted students/learners only, the XXI century opens up the interdisciplinary resource for all who have access to an electronic device, internet and basic knowledge of how to use modern educational data for learning and development purposes.

The amount of knowledge, that is being created is incredible. According to FORBES online input :

There are 2.5 quintillion bytes of data created each day at our current pace, but that pace is only accelerating with the growth of the Internet of Things (IoT). [1]

There has been an open academic discussion focused around new ways of adapting teachers knowledge and learning, as well as the need of transforming educational systems in cohesive educational communities related to economical knowledge since 2013:

Given these conditions, it is argued a ‘worker’ in the ‘Knowledge Economy’ will 
require characteristics including: an ability to adapt to constant change and 
uncertainty; capacity to work in knowledge and service based economies; and 
participate as a constructive member in cohesive social communities (Edgar, 1999; 
Education Queensland 2000). Accordingly, the article suggests such social changes 
and the emergence of the Knowledge Economy will entail a different education and 
schooling system to that which presently exists. The main premise of this proposition is that current schooling and teaching reflects the features of an industrial society and if society has changed, so then should the education and schooling system (Bentley, 1998). In turn the associated teacher education system is also affected. [2]

The amount of data, that is created daily, as the educational content for instance related to homeschooling, formal education or/and the like, may look like this:

Learning online makes the thinking process even more complex, as the learner and the teacher are linked via electronic devices and lots of many popping out content. The great amount of online data gives the choice and freedom in organizing knowledge for the new school, academic or/and university year. It also enables formal education to thrive online with many educational marketing opportunities. Is it better? Is it worse? Can we validate this by choosing one in favour of another? Would it be possible to compare the results of the learning process with the use of the online aids and with the use of the traditional educational resource? We realize, that there is a certain difference between online learning and traditional learning, and yet there are no definite answers to the question about the value of the quality of each type of learning, meaning online and offline. Is it interesting enough to pursue new research on the topic?

QUESTIONS:

  1. What is your first remembered educational book, that you learned from as a regular learner?
  2. Is your learning routine a traditional one because it is your choice or is it because online?
  3. Do you see value in online learning?
  4. Do you see value in traditional learning?
  5. Do you see the difference between traditional learning and innovative learning?
  6. What would be your first choice of reading resource: online or offline?
  7. Do you prefer to learn from interactive content or content without interactive links?
  8. Do you think of the type of device, that you choose specifically to read an ebook?
  9. What traditional books could you recommend to a person who only reads online content or/and ebooks?
  10. Do you write or/and read blogs about your type of books?
