 Way Back Then
 In a 1998 eLearning Conference
Jumpstart Session
– “Search Learning” is introduced
– “We must wake up to the fact that vast
amounts of what we all know is not from
a sequential indexed based book, it is
from randomly searching, based on need.
We must scrap what we know about
education and start from what media and
our children are teaching us. It’s all
about ‘Search Learning’” - RC

 Now What?
In 2009 Google became the Global LMS


– “Collaborative Search Learning©” is

introduced
– “We must wake up to the fact that vast
amounts of what we all know is STILL
not from a sequential indexed based
book or an LMS, it is from randomly
searching based on need. AND how we
share it in collaboration with the
world around us.” - RC
– The sequential course has evolved into
a global collaborative of “Micro
Learning Paths©”
– We need a “Global Learning Framework©”

Sorry… We must revisit our education debate on “Values Clarification” and

present an ethical framework for context.

Knowledge is connected
to emotions, values
and spirit
New Rule: ”Knowledge elements are
not time and space locked in a
data base.
They are defined…
by how they relate to one another
in the human experience.
That relationship defines
the purpose of
that piece of knowledge” - RC

Another Rule: ”Context defines

relationship on the Internet” - RC

And Another Rule:

”Collaboration publishes context” - RC

Global Learning Framework© Copyright 2009 Richard C. Close, No version can be reproduced in any format.
It starts with understanding the relationship
between an “Object” and “Purpose”

• Knowledge Element (KE) is a

word or piece of media that
represents something
– KE is still - dead!
• Knowledge Context (KC) is
how a KE relates to the
rest of the universe.
– KC is fluid - Alive!
– KC is context

She is more
than just a
“sharable content object”

Global Learning Framework© Copyright 2009 Richard C. Close, No version can be reproduced in any format.
 Knowledge Context Transcends
Knowledge Elements
• All Knowledge Elements are links to other Knowledge
Elements.
• Collaboration is the linking process of Knowledge Elements
in the human experience.
• The value of a Knowledge Element is either amplified or
diminished through collaboration
• An object has no value until collaboration takes place
• Even if one person sees a Knowledge Element , everyone who
influenced those viewers alters that perception
• Then again, free-will can alter any perception
• Linking is not bound by time and space
• A Knowledge Element only has purpose at the point of
collaboration
• Meaning is purpose, meaning is developed through
relationship

 KCs are the Architects of KEs
• In physical Knowledge Elements there are physical
reactions to actions.
• But in the human experience, the natural physical
reaction (like to hit someone back or yell at
someone who yelled at you) can be ignored and
substituted for something that does not make
sense to an animal’s auto response…. like
forgiveness.
• In the human experience, logical and evolutionary
leaps are inevitable, because it is not time-
space locked.
• Mercy does not make sense… but it is wonderfully
improbable when it happens.
• Knowledge Context collaboration involves the
process of choice.

Global Learning Framework© Copyright 2009 Richard C. Close, No version can be reproduced in any format.
 Knowledge Context (KC) is a Complex Fluid Gestalt of the
Individual and Community Forces in the Human Experience

• A living context is a mosaic of non-

measurable forces such as:
values, emotions, conditioned
feelings and free-will spiritual
purpose that wraps around a KE
at the moment of perception

• Knowledge Context dynamically

alters and/or replicates when in
contact with other Knowledge
Context Gestalts

• Acquisition of KE can be either a

freeing or addictive experience

How do we know

We will have to figure it out:
”Like an original pop song being
copyrighted, collaborative knowledge is
always a mix of many influences that
are also copyrighted. So far we have
gotten away with copyrighting the
knowledge object. How do we copyright
human collaboration? Can we copyright
a value or emotion that makes the
knowledge of value to the world?
I think not” - RC
