The Web of Learning - A Systems View

摘要

Studiesenteret.no is to be called a network of more than 100 Norwegian communities, which cooperate under more than 50 learning centres throughout Norway. Through a "hub" they are connected in an organic learning system. Where recourses (courses) are "transmitted" from universities to local communities. This system is a part of enhancing knowledge as one of the obvious factors in building democracy. Norway as a nation could proudly present the traditional public system of lifelong learning. With education free of charges from childhood to the highest university degrees. The country also has a history of thinking decentralised in many aspects. The urge to make life possible in rural areas is high. Also in the time of a knowledge society. The network, also to be called a system, has been facing many challenges and opportunities on the path towards 2013. Where technology, learning and organisational views are rapidly changing. The internet has opened the door for many revolutions. One of them is the revolution in the power of knowledge. Where the ownership of knowledge is loosening up. In this presentation we will share some of the exiting landscapes to enter in the next few years. Where organic leadership is mixed with our systemic web of learning. It is of high importance to send many thanks to some of the persons who through their literature (and for some of them discussions) highly affected the way Studiesenteret.no came to be (Sally Helgesen, Michael G. Moore, Paulo Freire, Fritjof Chapra and Goran Lange).
