Tom Worthington and Leigh Blackall have each posted with regards to institutional vs. networked learning. The catalyst for the conversation was a presentation Worthington gave for forum called “Gaggle.” From Blackall’s post:
Do the institutions really provide effective guidance and quality, or are they simply enjoying a governed monopoly over the idea? Many parallels have been made here with recent challenges facing newspapers and journalism – one being the institution, the other being the social value it keeps. What happens when that social value is more effectively found (or realised) in places outside that institution?
