I would think it's a complicated issue - i.e. how to strike a balance between individual learning and community of practice because of the fact that everyone has his/her own objective or goal of life, and is emergent, or changing from time to time. It's really difficult to set specific responsibilities unless the learner or the participant is willing to participant. As noted in this course, there are always peripheral participants who prefer to learn through "lurking" due to various reasons. I am not sure how people and institutions will respond to this "wake up" call from connectivism. I have posted some comments in my blog. Again, I echoed with you that this is the time to think about responsibilities not only from an individual learning network point of view but a community of practice point of view. I think I understand the basic principles of connectivism and so what remains are the practicalities - as mentioned by Stephen, in terms of modelling and demonstration as teachers, and how I could contribute to the community in a holistic manner. And I'm not sure the percentage of people who are interested in building up such community as mentioned earlier. Thanks again for your inspiring post. Cheers. Hi Jenny,
