Knowledge and Our Structures of Learning

IntroductionCore changes rarely come easy to existing systems. Change
builds incrementally. First it builds on what exists – using existing
models, approaches, language, and habits. But, as Kuhn suggested, periodically,

we must essentially reframe the space.
Video was initially used as a tool to record stage productions.
The left over remnants of the world view still exist in the term “motion
pictures” – a term used for convenience, not for meaning, as we
no longer see video only as moving pictures. We have now come to understand
video as a unique medium with unique affordances. In our views of learning
and technology, we are at a similar point. Instead of duplicating existing
classroom activities, we can create new, richer, more contextual learning
experiences.
Like video assumed to do the work of stage productions,
or the web to do the work of books, or elearning to duplicate the activities
of classrooms, we stand at a point of transformation. The baton of each
generation is passed on to the next – the agricultural era to the
industrial, the industrial to the technological, and the technological
to the knowledge. We are at the jumping off point now, where learning
becomes a keystone in any organization’s strategy. …..
