Education 2.0 & 3.0

One of the questions I get about learning pathways (on the rare occasion someone actually reads this blog and ask a question) is “when we give learners the option to chose between instructor-centered options and learner-centered options, how do they record what they are doing?” Sure, learners could blog about what they do, but that often ends up being a narrative about the pathway they create rather than an actual visual representation of the pathway itself. A blog post is great in many ways, but I think people are often wonder if there is something different.

Currently, there is no tool that does what I would like one to do to cover everything in the process:

1. Create a map of the learning pathway that one plans to take
2. Collects artifacts as one follows (and adjusts) that pathway
3. Adds a layer of reflection on the learning process that explains why choices were made and artifacts were created.
