I’ve started a commversation on Tangler about third places of learning. The conversation revolves around a presentation by Teemu Arina. Here’s his own description of what he covers in his keynote address:
“In my presentation I’m defining three of my concepts until now unknown to the field of distance education: seredipic learning, homo contextus and parasitic learning. I call for third places of learning running outside of the reach of formal structures. These spaces are run by self-directed connective learners (homo contextus) utilizing abilities in distributed cognition, prosthesis of thinking and parasitic approach to informal learning. Serendipity defines the accidental encounters of individuals in such third places linking the skills and wills of people through social technologies. The social noosphere (mindsphere) extends into a planetary thinking network, effectively decentralizing learning through technological extensions of mind and body. In the shadow of Marshall McLuhan, hard questions are left for reflection regarding New Learning 2.0:”

abstract: I’m going to use this topic as a reflection just some of the odd but interesting (some would say useless) bits and pieces I stumble across
in my journey through life.
What makes this area different from my other pieces of this Tangle? Well
simply this…if I post a piece here, then it almost certainly relates to something I’ve posted or discussed elsewhere in Tangler — but the piece included here will fall into the category of ‘that’s just a
little too much information, than-you’ . But who knows someone may ask someday …. so heres a recording of some glittering pieces I’ve added
to my memory bank:
