OmniGraffle: a lot of thinking comes from reflection, both with the blog for thoughts, and through diagramming my understanding. Diagrams allow us to map conceptual relationships to spatial ones to facilitate comprehension. It’s time again for Jane Hart’s Top Learning Tools Survey , so it’s time for my personal list (and for you to submit yours). Here goes! WordPress: my first learning tool is this blog. Here’s where I lay out my ideas. MORE
But this has bugged me, so I naturally tried to make a diagram that helps me think about it. My colleague, Harold Jarche ( the PKM guy), has maintained that cooperation is of more value than collaboration. MORE
And I’m not sure there’s what I call ‘slow’ innovation there, creating a culture and practices about experimentation and exposure to the ‘adjacent possible’ But it’s hard for one diagram to capture everything, and this does a great job. But as an advocate of diagrams and frameworks, I think this is truly insightful and useful. Jane Hart has just come up with something new and, to me, intriguing. MORE
He had a nice diagram (my revision here) that distinguished various forms of motivation. When you’re looking into motivation, particularly for learning, certain elements get mentioned again and again. So I’ve heard ‘relevance’, ‘ meaningfulness ‘, consequences, and more. Friston suggests that we learn to minimize surprise. One I’ve heard, and wrestled with, is curiosity. It’s certainly aligned with surprise. MORE
And I’ll talk it out first here, and maybe a diagram will emerge. I shared Jane Hart’s diagram yesterday, and I know that it’s a revision of a prior one. The diagram is capturing her framework, and such externalizations are a way to share; they’re a social as well as artifactual sharing. I was thinking a bit about distributed cognition, and recognized that there as a potentially important way to tease that apart. MORE
An earlier version of the diagram on the left first emerged over a couple of days with ad hoc drawing on a paper table cloth in a cafe in Sitges on the coast of Catalonia south-east of Barcelona. The diagram uses two dimensions of the i-Space namely abstraction and codification. MORE

No, not a diagram that’s an example, a diagram about examples! I created this because I needed a diagram to represent examples. I’ve written about them, and I have diagrams for other components of learning like models. MORE

In my framework of Modern Workplace Learning (see diagram on right) I use the term social collaboration to label an important new element of work of the modern-day L&D department.

Besides writing, two ways I sort out my understandings are to diagram and to outline. I use OmniGraffle as a general purpose diagramming tool because, well, it largely works the way I want to think about it. Diagrams, mind maps, even recently as sort of posterboard. MORE
I usually use Omnigraffle as a diagramming tool, to represent my conceptual understandings. But I started with a diagram, and took the elements out and mindmapped them, and threw in other bits. In short, the ‘diagram’ has become a visual place to store bits and pieces of different diagrams, representations, mindmap, prose, or more. I haven’t done this before (I’ve used storyboards and diagrams), but I find it interesting. MORE

So yesterday I talked about the value of diagrams , but I thought I’d add a bit about the process of actually creating diagrams. Naturally, I created a diagram about it. I created this diagram for a session I ran on diagramming a number of years ago. In that session I talked about our cognitive architecture, why we need models, how diagrams work, properties and design issues, and more. It captures an ideal picture of how diagramming could work.

One of the things that I feel is a really useful tool in my ongoing learning, in my ‘making sense of the world’ is diagramming. I find diagrams to be a really powerful way to understand not just elements, but relationships. And yet it doesn’t feel like diagramming gets enough respect. So I want to make a case for the diagram. My PhD advisor kindly pointed out that actually parsing this was hard, and recommended a diagram instead. MORE

In this third post I want to consider the L&D roles for enabling this, so in the diagram below I’ve plotted them onto the diagram I have been using in the last two posts.

Responding to Paul Ellerman : I was actually pretty careful with the diagrams , though on reflection I considered that I should have, for the network diagram, used the standard connectionist (neural network) diagram. In the diagram, this difference is represented by depicting the ‘traditional’ leader and group as a ‘tree’, with one person connected to a number of people, while at the same time depicting the network as a ‘cluster’, with many people connected to each other.

In my recent postings on Modern Workplace Learning, I shared the diagram (below) that showed the wide range of learning experiences that take place in the workplace.

I had to submit my deck for my DevLearn workshop on Cognitive Science for Learning Design last week, but oddly, for every thing I was recommending I had a diagram, except for the notion of using models.

As background, I diagram.

I generated the first diagram several days ago and had been iterating on it, but not today. The resulting diagram appears similar, but also some differences. So, in my last post , I talked about exploring the links between cognitions on the one hand (situated, distributed, social), and contexts (aligning with how we think, work, & learn). I did it one way, but then I thought to do it another, to instead consider Contexts by Cognitions, to see if I came to the same elements. MORE
