READ THIS FIRST = Your unguided tour of Rhizo14 Why might this course be for you? Rhizomatic learning is a story of how we can learn in a world of abundance – abundance of perspective, of information and of connection. A paper/location based learning model forces us to make decisions, in advance, about what it is important for students to learn. This was a practical reality – if we were going to have content available for a course, it needed to be prepared in advance. What happens if we let that go? Opening blog posts thoughts Slightly more complex intro Rhizomatic Learning posits, among other things, that the community is the curriculum.

Come down the rabbit hole with me my friends. At the heart of the rhizome is a very messy network, one where not all the dots connect to all the lines. No centre. Multiple paths.

Author's Declaration (Updated) Author’s Declaration I am wearing dark glasses in this picture to emphasise that some of the views in this literature review are not appropriate to a literature review. It must also be pointed out that the dark glasses (and hat) are in no way an attempt to disguise the fact that is also not me. This is an avatar, and may (or may not) represent who I am, and cannot be considered in any way to validate the views expressed here, which may (or may not) be my own. I promise that at no point will I actually believe that I know what I am talking about, and reserve the right to deny that if questioned by a member of any institution.
I abide by the social media rules of multiple, transferable, transient identities and uphold the values of immediacy, engagement and interest. I will not steal the plastic wallet from the previous person’s submission because it makes my work look nicer if I forget to bring my own. Signed: Peter Shukie. Rhizomatic Learning Is A Metaphor For How We Learn. Rhizomatic Learning Is A Metaphor For How We Learn If we’re matching the learning theories and instructional strategies with existing social conditions, we’ve really got some work to do.
Existing theories, including Connectivism, Constructivism, Communal Constructivism, and the above idea of rhizomatic learning, freely allude to both the potency and inherent chaos of crowds. Direct instruction depends on the credibility of both teacher and curriculum from the perspective of the learner, and, more optimistically, on homogeneous schema of learners across a classroom. Rhizomatic learning is not interested in your data-driven instructional strategy you’re hoping to use in operation of an outcomes-based and backwards-designed learning system. And the key to make all of this magic happen? That’s pretty ambitious. Rhizomatic learning takes another approach. It freely admits the beautiful complexity of the human experience, and thus, by proximity, the sheer craziness of the learning process.
