Basically er vi jo en studiesirkel

Det er et prosjekt jeg har jobbet veldig mye med i det siste aaret — en slags sosial laeringsplattform der folk kan lage laeregrupper rundt aapne utdanningsressurser. Alt fra kurs i samfunnsvitenskapelig metode :) til kommunalismens historie (basically er vi jo en studiesirkel, og det vet jo du alt om :)) er velkomment...

While there, I came across the phenomenon of community-run libraries, which was extremely widespread and fascinating.

Called Taman Bacaans (TBs) - reading gardens - these simple libraries, often hosted in somebody's house, or in a community building, provide easy and informal access to books, as well as frequent literacy programming.

Interesting article about literary circles/book clubs in Afghanistan. Reminds me of the reading gardens in Indonesia that I wrote about in my Bachelor thesis.

Savner veldig et community for å diskutere mer klassisk litteratur — online eller i person. Kjenner ingen som driver på med det samme, og kjenner ikke noe sted online heller. (For internasjonal litteratur er det masse, aktive FB grupper og folk på Twitter som skriver om Milton og Illiaden og Dante)... Kan skrive noe på min egen FB vegg så får jeg kanskje to likes, men ingen diskusjon...

It has always been possible to gain advanced learning outside of the formal academy, through libraries and book-clubs for example, but the open-education movement has radically increased the feasibility of informal learning.

Selv om jeg vokste opp på Hamar hørte jeg aldri noe om suttung da, og har egentlig ikke visst noe før nå, selv om jeg så invitasjoner til festivaler på biblioteket i Hamar. Men i det siste par ukene har jeg kastet meg over bøker fra Refling Hagen, Aslaug Groven og andre, og er helt forelsket i alle ideene.

What's interesting is that I am both a very active "self-learner", with my learning networks, Twitter, Google Reader, online (and offline) conferences etc. At the same time, I am a graduate student in what we like to think of as one of the world's best schools of education, OISE.

Much of my learning happens in what I call "long-term distributed topic-based communities". This would be something like the "edublogosphere", with people who discuss issues and share information over a long time, held together through RSS feeds, crosslinking, Twitter-hashtags, etc.

So far have watched documentaries, listened to podcasts, read Wikipedia, scanned history books, and read some primary sources (Etymologiarum, John Malalas). Now I'm going to add some historical novels.

But perhaps the one main goal in learning a new language, is getting through my first book.

English - Little Lord Fauntleroy, in 7th grade. I remember that the direct speech was quite difficult, perhaps because it was written in a dialect or sociolect.

One of the most amazing milestones in learning a language is when you are slowly making your way through your first book, forcing yourself to read ten pages before going to bed, and then suddenly one night, when you have reached the allotted ten pages, thinking "I'll just read one more page, I want to see what will happen"!

How about they sent someone to the local debate to film the whole thing, and they put it up on Google Video? (It's fine if they choose to put it up on their own site, but please let it be for download and not just for streaming!). I would actually be quite happy to watch an hour debate if I could choose the time myself, because so far I have only read newspaper reports of what the politicians say, or politicians' own letters to the newspapers' debate pages etc, but not actually seen them debating each other.

Jeg og kona ser nå på en serie kalt «Civilization» fra BBC, tatt opp i 1957, fantastisk spennende.

So why the choice of a 50-hour lecture series, instead of a book, a textbook, an interactive textbook, a MOOC, etc. What's his view of the best way of studying it - or the many ad hoc collaborative learning and note taking milieus that have sprung up around his work?

I tell people I'm currently giving myself the high school education I never got. Not just ancient languages, but an actual overview of world history, literary movements, reading the literary greats, understanding how to approach poetry, classical music...
