Learning in times of abundance: The Snowflake Effect
5 likes1,000 views
1) The document discusses how learning has shifted from a problem of scarcity to one of abundance due to open standards and services that have enabled a massive amount of shared content, communication tools, and other resources. 2) It argues that to address the new problem of an overabundance of content and tools, the solution is "massive hyper-personalization" to tailor learning experiences uniquely to each individual learner. 3) The concept of the "Snowflake Effect" is introduced where personalization techniques used by music recommendation services could be applied to learning to create unique, personalized learning experiences for each learner.
