• Open learning the debate continues: Continuing the open learning debate?.I greatly like this diagramme by George Siemens. I think there is much of merit here. Very happpy to see acknowledgemnt of the importance of self publishing (as opposed to academic reporsitories) . However there are a few things missed out. Firstly if we take congniscence of Jenny Hughes? defintion of learning as ?to find and follow a track? as counterposed to curriculum from the latin ?currere?, which means to run or race and ?curriculum? as race or racecourse, then instotutions and teacher have an important role in assisting learners in developing their own learning pathways. A second important role is that of assessment. But to understand this we need to decouple assessment from acceditation. If we design assessment as a learning process and move from assessment of learning to assessement for learning this could become an integral part of the process of finding and developing learning pathways. This is not so utopian. Serendipitousl y.
