Very excited to be working with @Gin on HAHA Academy. We just published our manifesto and launched the league of 1000 HAHAs:
- We need location-independent learning and accreditation - We need to support lifelong learning - We need to support self-taught learning - We need to recognise learning without high-stakes examinations
Polytechnic: Enlisting many different modes of technology, providing a complex framework to solve human problems. When we use our consciousness and knowledge to think how to use technology to improve human society, combining many fields of knowledge from philosophy, history, sociology, technology, science and mathematics.
Monotechnic: Technological growth for its own sake, driven by pure consumerism lacking any socio-political perspective and oppressing humanity as it moves along its trajectory. It disregards any negative effects on humanity, seeing all progress and development as good and inevitable.
Rarely have I heard such an intense Q&A question at an event: "To what extent are you willing to exercise coercion or violence against people who don't have same values or goals?"
Hey Lynn, Bob, Ivan, Benet, just wanted to properly introduce you all to @alexcastano who recently joined @dajbelshaw and I to work on #MoodleNet. I'm sure you'll be bumping into each other in GitLab issues, code commits (he's starting with documenting/restructuring/improving the CommonsPub codebase, and here on the fediverse... Let's decentralise all the things! :)
