(Maru and Delores posted about this event.) I did access Stephen’s paper on the future of on-line learning (ten years on). Once again I marvelled at Stephen’s synoptic vision. What a decade! This YouTube video underscored that! This latter post sparked a number of responses including Jenni’s, Mike’s and Jenny’s.

What do they mean to us? If time is always "the right thing" but we try something wrongly, somthing impossible? Can we really change us? Otherwise all is going on as it has been going years and years. I loved your blog post, Jenny, it made me think.. thanks Heli Hi you all wise co-learners in CCK08

First of all thanks for taking the time to read me and leave a comment in my blog. I know you wish to have more time to visit more blogs but as you mention in your post this is a fast lane course. I enjoy connections, I enjoy more close connections, I like to belong, I like groups. Networks are new for me and I find hard to deal with weak ties. It took me more than 10 minutes to watch Stephen's slide show. why? Because many of the sites and tools he mentions are new to me so I took notes about them to visit later. I have been an e-learner for 2 years or so, I just gave my first online course last March. This is more than a fast lane for me! I'm out of my comfort zone in many aspects. I'm investing more than 8 hours a week, 5 per day could be an average, I am finding the experience rewarding. Thanks also for introducing me to Carmen. Have a nice week. Maru Hi Jenny!

This seems to be a tension for me in connectivism." Another fine piece on connectivism, crystallising the importance of a balance between "connections" and deep thinking and reflection, and a real appreciation of the connections and learning behind. I have included some ideas about religious beliefs as well as I could see this concept will soon surface out of connectivism, as a result of too many hasty connections. That is, what is the spirit of connections? What are the opportunities and challenges? Again, a great learning moment in reading your blog. Many thanks and cheers. John Hi Jenny,

I have learned from you and other course members that openness gives us immense possibilities. Being open allows us to be transparent about vulnerability and persistence. Like you I am amazed how energised Stephen and George are. I put it down to adrenalin and lots of coffee. Your blog has been a delightful didactic experience for me. Keith Jenny
