Mitra calls it “learning at the edge of chaos”—the space between order and disorder that is most conducive to new ideas. “He showed that all that was needed was peer-to-peer interaction, access to information, and compelling questions,” Dobias says. “It applies not just to primary education, but to human education at any age.”
Looks like an approach to a DLP as envisioned by PSA. John recently described a similar DLP for youth that goes outside typical higher education.
Metamap and Mindmap…seems from this limited example, that Mindmap is a bit better, and that’s good, because we are using Mindmap. =^)
I like the idea of “the space between order and disorder that is the most conducive to new ideas… sounds a lot like Hegel’s Dialectic…of Thesis, Antithesis, and Synthesis… which we are actually trying to employ as we seek to evolve DLE using both an intuitive perspective and a theoretical perspective.
Quote looks good to me. One Tip: Sometimes on the draft page for a post, it appears in the quote that there’s a good space between paragraphs, but it disappears when actually published. IF this happens, the solution is to add another paragraph space with the return key.
