Week Ten #ededc

Week ten has been a little of a struggle, but that struggle has resulted in me (hopefully) finding my final assignment topic “Location & Idenity within the Agency of 21st C learning”. This topic very much combines topics cross #ededc and, I think, will extend on work I carried out in Learning Futures (previous course).

Location & Idenity within the Agency of 21st C learning. This may seem a rather large topic! I aim to focus on ‘Agency’ of learning, this being the ability of learning (information, objects etc.) to act in the world. It seems to me that the ‘project of learning’ now has life, maybe related to Cognosphere (Hayles)? This concept ‘I believe’ relates to almost all of my Tumlog posts, from initial posts that deal with the existent, to semiotics in relation to critical design, onto becoming more familiar with the Post-Human debate. So I maybe coming out of the end #ededc by relating to the Agency of information, Agency, that could be said to (determine or) relate to Cognosphere, or possibly AI ?

Just like an old dog-eared book could be seen to possibly have, dormant (captive) life, locked up between its covers. The agency, of the project of learning (& learning objects), now has speed of connection, is that speed and ability to sort, a sign of life, the subject becoming the object? Hmmm…
