Learning and Teaching Environments In Statu Nascendi

I seem to remember a remark about inadequate navigational structures at eds.acivemath.org.

I agree — and I disagree.

Learning and Teaching Environments In Statu Nascendi, if they are creative, by their very nature don’t neatly fit completely into pre-existing classification systems. They may allow a partial ordering, and after they are dead, a complete ordering and navigational structure.

Maybe we are looking for an appropriately evolving and dynamic classification and navigation, which seems to be a known work in progress, requiring discursive as well as other types of thinking.

Let’s be specific. I have just composed this blog entry, inspired by a comment I made to another posting. The encapsulated idea may well spawn a story, a book, and so on, or may simply die. I don’t know that yet. It may or may not evolve. So I am creating tentative links and descriptors, with redundancies. Once, if at all, I am done and dusted I can possibly fit it into an existing, or extendable taxonomy.

I feel this is a far too

I feel this is a far too theoretical approach to a practical ‘problem’. Of course websites or communities must ‘grow’ towards a better design. However, at the moment it is very unclear what is meant by Books, for example. In IT parlour ’ Tutorials’ would be better I think, or ‘Documentation’

RE: I feel this is a far too

Chris,

Thank you for your response.

In my limited view theory and practice are interwoven, and feed upon its other.

You have just contributed a valuable impetus in this process, and your request for clarifications of the terms is more than fair; it is helpful!
