How can they most effectively learn the skills required in the complex domain? How can we prepare people to work in complex, and not highly ordered, work environments in which most problems are exceptions from which some emergent solutions can be continuously developed, learned, and shared? If we want to help people deal with complex problems and environments then they need to learn and practice in these. Complexity

If you sit in the average conference room with, say 40, executives from both the public and private sector and enthuse them about the power, speed and, indeed, empowerment of social networking, you have all the heads nodding in seconds. There are few people out there who think this is all a flash in the pan, and fewer still who fail to recognise the real shifts in communication patterns which are occurring. Social networking slots neatly into this model.

To me, the theory is and always has been ‘learning networks’. This is a play on words: it is in part a theory about using networks to support learning, and in part a theory about how networks learn. It led me to propose content syndication networks in education, and to embrace social media in education. I outlined my theory in the paper ‘Learning Networks’ in 2004 [link] and George wrote his important paper also in 2004.

Every organization today is trying to address the changing nature of work, driven by rapid technological change, and made more complex by global changes in economics, politics, and resources.

Getting Ready Connectivism is based on the idea that knowledge is essentially the set of connections in a network, and that learning therefore is the process of creating and shaping those networks. There isn’t a single classroom or learning management system; instead the course itself is design to create connections between individual websites or blogs and to create a flow of conversation and cooperation across that network.

Sharing includes exchanging resources, ideas, and experiences with our networks as well as collaborating with our colleagues. PKM may be an individual activity but it is social as well.

Keesing and Strathern in Cultural Anthropology: A Contemporary Perspective (1998) assert two very different ways in which the term culture is used: The socio-cultural system or the pattern of residence and resource exploitation that can be observed directly, documented and measured in a fairly straightforward manner. Such cultures are tacit in nature: networked, tribal and fluid. In effect culture is always complex, never complicated.

The patterns of change in higher education are surprisingly similar and global. As a result, they have not developed systemic capacity to function in a digital networked age. Digital content, testing, teaching resources, teaching/learning software, etc. Enormous amounts of organizational resources are now flowing outside of education in order to fill gaps due to poor leadership. Openness of content is a spectrum concept and goes well beyond openly licensed resources.

The world had changed beyond their comprehension, and there was and is a reaction to that, an emphatic ''back to basics'' movement, which means ''back to the way we learned it'', even though there is and was mounting evidence that they were no longer prepared to meet a complex, dynamic and changing world with the knowledge they had. Sometimes it looks like a performance or skill, as when we perform a complex and adaptive task. It''s not simply that they are social.
