The Definition Open educational resources are materials used to support education that may be freely accessed, reused, modified and shared by anyone. I'm not sure I'd really support the idea of an "official" definition, but when I have reason to describe succinctly what OER means, I'd personally be happy to use this version. I don't support the idea of an 'official' definition either. The statement takes the classic three-part form of definition: 1.

Specifically, I argue that (1) a widely employed definition of unconscious processing, promoted by John Bargh is incoherent (2) many experiments involve a perspectival sleight of hand taking factors identified from comparison of average group performance and inappropriately ascribing them to the reasoning of individual participants. I have a new paper out in Frontiers in Psychology: The perspectival shift: how experiments on unconscious processing don’t justify the claims made for them.

Responding to George Siemens's A Simple Definition of Knowledge. The traditional definition of knowledge is 'justified true belief'. There are many problems with that definition, but it does point to the fact that we think of 'knowledge' as being something broadly mental and propositional. I am sympathetic to the non-representational picture of knowledge suggested by the definition - but if knowledge is non-representational, then what is it?

In the course of the back and forth on the mailing list, one participant got angry about the site and quoted the dictionary definition of “avenger” : a·venge [uh-venj] verb (used with object), a·venged, a·veng·ing. It would be perfectly reasonable to push back on the word because it carries bad connotations or because it doesn’t quite fit the intended meaning, but neither of those conversations is advanced by citing the dictionary definition of a common word.

They used the word "to" in their definition which I would interpret to mean that you are only including "intentional learning" not including "unexpected learning." My point is that it's somewhat dangerous for all of us to call ourselves "learning professionals" and to work in this field if the common definition of learning excludes informal and unexpected learning I found this via Donald Clark's blog.

So, the definition he cited was: Microlearning is a small, but complete, learning experience, layered on top of the task learners are engaged in, designed to help learners learn how to perform the task.

But a new definition of social learning has emerged in the last few years; one that implies the use of social technology to underpin learning. For me, this new definition is missing the bigger picture, since it takes no account of where and how most social learning takes place – well outside of formal learning interventions – and in the workplace, in particular, when teams and other groups of people, learn IMPLICITLY from one another as a consequence of working together.
