This is a disruptive presentation : This is a disruptive presentation About the relationship of knowledge and a world of desperation About industry training vs. K-12 education About corporate process training vs. public education collaboration About how collaborative learning works in a global community About new learning modelsthat changes everything

Way Back Then : Way Back Then In a 1998 eLearning Conference Jumpstart Session “Search Learning” is introduced “We must wake up to the fact that vast amounts of what we all know in this room is not from a sequential indexed based book, it is from randomly searching based on need. We must scrap what we know about education and start from what media and our children are teaching us. It’s all about ‘Search Learning’” - RC

Now What? : Now What? 2009 Google became the Global LMS “Collaborative Search Learning©” is introduced “We must wake up to the fact that vast amounts of what we all know in this room is STILL not from a sequential indexed based book OR AN LMS, it is from randomly searching based on need. AND how we share it in collaboration with the world around us.” - RC The sequential course has evolved into a global collaborative of “Micro Learning Paths©” We need a “Global Learning Theorem©”

”Global Learning Theorem™ ”Is accepting that you don’t own knowledge” : ”Global Learning Theorem™ ”Is accepting that you don’t own knowledge” If you were given the knowledge to heal a sick child… would you deny it to them until you saw the profit in helping them? Knowledge is globally collaborative -RC

IEEE SCORM IgnoresThe Human Element : IEEE SCORM IgnoresThe Human Element New Rule: ”Knowledge and Human Collaboration are Inseparable” - RC You mean my voice counts?

What is Knowledge? : What is Knowledge? Physical Object OrPhysical Laws Wrapped in Non-physical Context

“Knowledge is an object / law in relationship with the universe” - RC : “Knowledge is an object / law in relationship with the universe” - RC Knowledge Object + Context Reality

“Knowledge is an object / law in relationship with the universe” - RC : “Knowledge is an object / law in relationship with the universe” - RC eLearning SCORM - Collaboration A Fact without Context

Knowledge without context is… useless : Knowledge without context is… useless Eugène Ionesco (1909–1994) “The knife can kill” From the play “The Lesson” The Knife (or nuclear bomb) just is…. Now what we do with it is another matter.

Collaboration teaches context : Collaboration teaches context “Human collaboration is what wraps context around and within a knowledge object” – RC

“Collaboration either forces the human experience to deal with actions and ideas in public Or… : “Collaboration either forces the human experience to deal with actions and ideas in public Or… collaborative context can reinforces fear, isolation, greed and addictive tendencies. We must teach that there is always a choice with consequences” - RC Global Learning Theorem Copyright 2009 Richard C. Close, No version can be reproduced in any format.

You don’t understand… I am this : You don’t understand… I am this This(widow to Global Knowledge) lives inside of me.

Values/context shape how we view knowledge : Values/context shape how we view knowledge Sorry… We must revisit our education debate on “Values Clarification” and present a ethical framework for context.

Knowledge is connectedin emotions, values and spirit : Knowledge is connectedin emotions, values and spirit New Rule: ”Knowledge elements are not time and space locked in a data base. They are defined… by how they relate to one another in the human experience.” - RC Global Learning Theorem Copyright 2009 Richard C. Close, No version can be reproduced in any format.

It starts with understanding the relationship between an “Object” and “Purpose” : It starts with understanding the relationship between an “Object” and “Purpose” Knowledge Element (KE) is a word or piece of media that represents something KE is still - dead! Knowledge Purpose (KP) is how a KE relates to the rest of the universe. KP is fluid - Alive! KP is context She is morethan just a Knowledge Object Global Learning Theorem Copyright 2009 Richard C. Close, No version can be reproduced in any format.

Knowledge Purpose Transcends Knowledge Elements : Knowledge Purpose Transcends Knowledge Elements All Knowledge Elements are links to other Knowledge Elements. Collaboration is the linking process of Knowledge Elements in the human experience. The value of a Knowledge Element is either amplified or diminished through collaboration An object has no value until collaboration takes place Even if one person sees a Knowledge Element , everyone who influenced those viewers alters that perception Then again, Free will can alter any perception Linking is not bound by time and space A Knowledge Element only has purpose at the point of collaboration Meaning is purpose, meaning is developed through relationship Global Learning Theorem Copyright 2009 Richard C. Close, No version can be reproduced in any format.

Knowledge is connectedin emotions, values and spirit : Knowledge is connectedin emotions, values and spirit New Rule: ”Knowledge elements are not time and space locked in a data base. They are defined… by how they relate to one another in the human experience.” - RC Hmmm… What about Knowledge Management and SCORM?.

KPs are the Architects of KEs : KPs are the Architects of KEs In physical Knowledge Elements there are physical reactions to actions. But in the human experience, the natural physical reaction (like to hit someone back or yell at someone who yelled at you) can be ignored and substituted for something that does not make sense to the animal auto response…. like forgiveness, repentance or mercy. In the human experience, logical and evolutionary leaps are inevitable, because it is not time-space locked. Mercy does not make sense… but it is wonderfully improbable when it happens. KP collaboration involves the process of choice

Knowledge’s Purpose is a Complex Fluid Gestalt of the Individual and Community Forces in the Human Experience : Knowledge’s Purpose is a Complex Fluid Gestalt of the Individual and Community Forces in the Human Experience A living purpose is a mosaic of non measurable: values, emotions, conditioned feelings and free will spiritual purpose that wraps around a KE at the moment of perception Knowledge Purpose dynamically alters and/or replicate when in contact with other KP Gestalts Acquisition of KE can be either a freeing or addictive experience

Global Learning Theorem© - Sharing : Global Learning Theorem© - Sharing Needs Knowledge Responsibility Sharing

”Global Learning Theorem™ ”The new test is in sharing what you know” : ”Global Learning Theorem™ ”The new test is in sharing what you know” When we share what was given to us… we define our significance.

Web 3.0 Context is just the Beginning : Web 3.0 Context is just the Beginning This is the beginning of technical KEs How does the KE relate to me? How does the KE relate to the community? How does the KE relate to the world? I am a child in Kenya. I am in your life right now! What will you do with me?

Knowledge is FluidBecause it Shared : Knowledge is FluidBecause it Shared New Rule: ”Learning is fluid and evolves collectively based on need, collaboration and context.” - RC Yes…no more tests on Friday! An “A” means nothing. It’s my YouTube counts that matter.

How do we knowwho owns what? : How do we knowwho owns what? We will have to figure it out: ”Like an original pop song being copyrighted, collaborative knowledge is always a mix of many influences that are also copyrighted. So far we have gotten away with copyrighting the knowledge object. How do we copyright human collaboration? Can we copyright a value or emotion that makes the knowledge of value to the world? I think not” - RC Mom!!!…Billy won’t share his ball with me!
