Nice one 🙂

This is one of the areas I really need to delve into at my uni. I’m quite conscious that most of the discovery and discussion I’m doing is taking place outside of my institution, so there is no immediate benefit to the people I interact with on a day to day basis!

If not unique to Connectivism and online communities, certainly it’s exacerbated by it (would you agree?) – especially when considering the concepts discussed in “Little Boxes, Glocalization and Networked Individual“?

In other words, if our networks are no longer dependent on geographics or locality, the resulting benefits for our local relationships (such as work colleagues) may not be immediately realised.

From the standpoint of employers this is a real issue it would seem. E.g. how to you ensure the learning experiences of your staff are filtered back into the local level?

Hmm I’ll need to ponder that further.

Cheers,

Mike
