This is the impression I got: here\u2019s a dedicated anti-establishment guy, who despairs at the capitalist ideology at the core of education; who dislikes that learning is now an industry; who thinks that most educators waste time and effort in their attempts to improve their teaching, their learning. Wasted, because it goes towards improving essentially\u00a0<em>capitalist<\/em>\u00a0systems, structures, models, even though these fail us (us\u00a0=\u00a0the learners, the educators) time and again.

Now, one might argue that\u00a0<a style=\"color: #ff0000\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ted.com\/talks\/sugata_mitra_shows_how_kids_teach_themselves\">Sugata Mitra\u2019s Hole in the Wall<\/a>, which Downes referred to,\u00a0is itself a model, Mitra often suggests so: that\u2019s why he was able to translate the idea from rural India to schools in England. His model is anti-institutional, it seeks to depose the teacher, but it is still a model. Like Downes, Mitra is interested in self-organising systems \u2013 and\u00a0where you have systems, you have a model! The\u00a0point is that there are no standards or rules which apply consistently or work universally and at all times. This is a good thing to bear in mind. Standards (rules, regulations) are always exclusive, limited and\u00a0<em>limiting<\/em>. They\u00a0<em>hinder<\/em>\u00a0innovation, stifle creativity and reduce everything\u00a0to sameness. We\u00a0need people like Downes to remind us of this. We need to be asked that we do away with ALL such rules, so that at the very least we might discard some of them, and re-introduce autonomy into our sector. As he told us later \u201cAutonomy, rather than control, is essential in education\u201d. This is as uncomfortable an idea for institutions as it is for the individual. Control is something we desire (if not need), whereas autonomy can often be disquieting. However,\u00a0<a style=\"color: #ff0000\" href=\"http:\/\/blogs.hbr.org\/2014\/04\/to-create-change-leadership-is-more-important-than-authority\/\">some\u00a0claim<\/a>\u00a0control is an illusion anyway, so we might as well move away from trying to control our learners and allow them their autonomy.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #000000\">I agree with many of Stephen\u2019s principles, even if I do so at my peril (i.e. by sort of wishing the hand that feeds me would whither and die). Wouldn\u2019t an anarchic utopia be fun? Yes it would. Will it happen? Not any time soon. Still\u00a0I applaud Stephen for\u00a0demanding it.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #000000\">But I don\u2019t\u00a0agree with everything he claimed. For example, his starting claim that\u00a0\u201cpretty much anything works better than the traditional lecture method\u201d \u2013 but that\u2019s neither true nor very scandalous. (Indeed it seems to me a standard opening in ed talks these days.) I learnt a lot from Stephen Downes\u2019 lecture yesterday, and I know that\u00a0discussing an article or blog post of his instead would\u00a0<strong>not<\/strong>\u00a0have worked better; it would have worked worse. Naturally, he addressed the irony of him lecturing (a full 90 mins!), but suggested that the lecture itself was secondary to its becoming\u00a0\u00a0a resource to be shared. Yet my engagement was greatest\u00a0<strong>at the actual time of listening<\/strong>, and throughout I wished I had been in the room with others. Yes, I agree that his lecture was \u201cabout creating the opportunity for dialogue and interaction\u201d and that it served this purpose well. But surely\u00a0this is what all lectures (can) do. No one working in education seriously believes that learning is about remembering, about recall. Yes, assessment practice tends to reward recall, and thus it places value on it, but this is what is fundamentally wrong about assessment practice, it is not evidence that we think learning is recall. Call the paradox a logical error, do not extrapolate that it shows a greater truth about our values.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #000000\">Secondly, at some point I started to wonder if Downes equated learning too much with reliance on resources. Resources (and tools to create and share these) are central to his connectivist MOOC, as are the connections between learners and the conversations they have. But I missed a closer inspection of that elusive thing, \u2018learning\u2019. Sure, he reminded us: \u201ccontent is only the\u00a0<a style=\"color: #ff0000\" href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/MacGuffin\">MacGuffin<\/a>\u201d (think Maltese Falcon), there to move the conversations and relationships along, and he insisted\u00a0that \u201clearning is the conversations that happen\u2019 \u2013 but this is not quite clear or useful enough for me. Learning cannot all be conversation, and often it benefits from leadership too. Autonomy and self-organisation are\u00a0all well and good, but I\u2019ve overheard serious conversations so dumb they\u2019d blow your socks off, and they could have benefited from an expert gently pointing out that what had just been\u00a0discussed\u00a0was\u00a0a) factually wrong and b)\u00a0badly argued. But where does such expertise come from in self-organising networks? Finally, in Downes\u2019 self-organising networks, won\u2019t the\u00a0\u201c<a style=\"color: #ff0000\" href=\"http:\/\/www.thefilterbubble.com\/\">filter bubble<\/a>\u201d effect prevent networks from being properly diverse? Won\u2019t these\u00a0<strong>self-selected<\/strong>\u00a0online communities, be obstructed from benefiting from ethnically, socio-economically, politically different perspectives?<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #000000\">Finally, I am skeptical about his over reliance on technology. I tweeted a question to that effect, and he did his best to answer, but he thought I was worried\u00a0only about \u201cwhat happens when the lights go out\u201d and reassured me that there are bigger threats (authoritarianism, big corporations \u2013 I know that, they too are technological systems!) than running out of fossil fuels.\u00a0I meant however to ask what effect our over-reliance on technology might have on our way of being: our relationships, attitudes and social behaviours. I don\u2019t share Downes\u2019 optimism about technology.\u00a0I think it is important to evaluate our use of it critically at all times, and question its proliferation, especially in education. I imagine Downes doesn\u2019t disagree with proper critical questioning, but I nevertheless suspect that he overall thinks technology is a boon.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #000000\">And that\u2019s fair enough.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #000000\">This article originally appeared on the CLT@LSE blog at\u00a0<a title=\"LSE blog\" href=\"http:\/\/blogs.lse.ac.uk\/clt\/2014\/07\/10\/beyond-institutions-stephen-downes-at-networkedge\/\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/blogs.lse.ac.uk\/clt\/2014\/07\/10\/beyond-institutions-stephen-downes-at-networkedge\/<\/a>.
