Hi Maha, I worked with instructors for a while helping them assemble courses online and at first was taken aback by their almost fear of technology. For people who could read and control a classroom full of reluctant students the move to adding a bit of technology seemed minor. But it sure seemed like we’d past a threshold of adaptability with either too much newness or stripping away too much confidence to make room for new skills. Or, indeed if skills can be added one-by-one as if people were long chains of individual abilities?
Having been through a lot of change myself recently I’ve been to that place where it all falls apart and wonder about the “lone learner” model of student that seems so popular. To me, the idea of rhizomes suggests a multitude of influences contained within a single mind. Maybe that’s too sci-fi?
