“Delivering the cloud to individual students is the key mobile role for education.” Judy Breck
“The vast new open network that cloud computing is billowing up makes the open-one-web a stunning opportunity to deliver and optimize open knowledge to billions of people. The new generations will visit the cloud through their mobiles. The optimization will be done at the micro level of the content - which is why at the node junction lies the most important opportunity to give juice and trust to educational enlightenment.”
I had the immense pleasure of finally meeting Judy Breck and experiencing her keynote presentation given at the Microlearning Conference 2008 in Innsbruck, Austria.
Judy’s interactive keynote presentation can be found here. A video of her keynote regarding Cloud Education was produced and edited by Teemu Arina. Kitos Teemu for making this recording!

I am amazed at how far we have moved in such a short period of time to optimize the virtual world of cloud learning to free up the connections at the Berck’s learning.nodes. I have been think about this for some period of time, I believe that for many learning is the job or work and that creating that new learning is where we can add more “juice.” Seehttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collaborative_learning-work for brief overview of collaborative learning-work.

I realize that Berck is addressing the issue of crearing a one-web-world with her concept of action at the learning node. I have been wrestling with the issue of “credentialing” for what is learning. How will one demonstrate to others that they “know” or have mastered some new concept at the learning node. Will credentially or credit for knowing stay inside the walled garden of the private for pay enterprise or is there a way to issue an open, for free “certificate of knowing.”

I realize that Berck is addressing free open learning in a one-web-world with her concept of action at the learning node. Often it seems that persons and organizations at least today want to know what some one has learned.

If one collaboratively learns outside the “walled garden,”how will that person demonstrate to others that s/he “knows” or has mastered some new concept at the learning node. Will credentialing or credit for knowing stay inside the walled garden of the private for pay enterprise or is there a way to issue an open, for free “certificate of knowing.”

Breck talks about findability in terms of SEO but doesn’t mention information ecologies or the semantic web technologies for aggregating collections which is where the work is going to happen.

Thanks for the comments!
For sure a number of major aspects of Net functionality synergize at a learn node, which is a knot of dynamic connections. My main effort is to inspire individuals in the education sector who know a lot about something to give their juice to learn nodes they respect. I think that is positive for all of the aspects in the synergy. In particular, juice to learn nodes from the knowledgeable in the node subject could just be the future of credentialing.

In particular, juice to learn nodes from the knowledgeable in the node subject could just be the future of credentialing. If I understand your comment, one might search for and recognize others who are adding “juice” to a learning node and that based on some system for “valuing” the contribution, then their knowledge might be valued or given value, which might be view as a new competence. Is this the direction of your thinking on the far ends as opposed to the basics?

From the SEO training presentations I have attended, I understand that the search engine spiders already recognize “valued” sources of links. That would not be hard to achieve: When valued academic Dr.V links to a node, many other links are there too because other linkers find and link through Dr.V’s webpage that points there. Thus Dr.V “gives juice” (say the SEOs) to that node.
The insight of the spiders is completely mathematical: They recognize that when Dr.V links to a webpage that many others do, and thus Dr.V becomes more valued. If Dr.V is an expert on say a certain plant, links about that plant where he is linked will gather other links and the spiders will move that webpage up the SERPS (search engine ranking pages). This is a new sort of credentialing that is in effect and potentially very powerful.

Hey Howard!!!! So if we were to compare this (above) to the K-Web, what component would it look like?
Maybe the kindest thing to start out with would be NLP filtering to remove jargon like “NLP” instead of a reputation system.
