EduChaos-Disruptive Tec&Attitudes&Radical Disclosure

To follow up on my initial post on "radical disclosure" I want to outline the design foundation for the cChaos project in general, and expand upon the radical disclosure paradigm in particular.

I am following the lead of Marie Jasinski who makes use of the patterns found in chaos theory and is actively applying them to the development and implementation of learning experiences which she calls "Educhaos".

Marie Jasinski

"Recognized for her creativity and innovative approach, Marie Jasinski is Director of Design Planet which is part of an emerging international network of educators, researchers and performance improvement technologists drawn together by their passion for playing with the rules and for creating learning experiences that are interactive, collaborative and engaging."

Another leading influence, programmer, educator and author is the unstoppable Stephen Downes who, among other things, publishes the wide ranging OLDaily, on elearning. He is a hard core seer of free open source tools for elearning that are end user driven in design.

I will be using Internet Archive to upload cChaos related video (See: Social Marketing using Farmers Markets - to be posted & linked soon). "Internet Archive is building a digital library of Internet sites and other cultural artifacts in digital form. Like a paper library, we provide free access to researchers, historians, scholars, and the general public."

Internet Archive allows copyright under the "Creative Commons - - a nonprofit that offers a flexible copyright for creative work."

And, because bloggers in general, and instructional technologists in particular, think too much and do too little, and are therefore academically and physically too fat and therefore unhealthy, good nutrition, exercise and physical labor are all key cornerstone elements to be addressed in the overall cChaos project design. That is - removing built impediments to physical activity - which currently result in health problems, such as pandemic obesity will be a major project design consideration.

Central to the project is the attempt to bridge the digitial divide. "poverty cannot be addressed without working on health; health requires education; education requires modern communication; modern communication requires effective technology; technology must be low cost but also complete (computer and network, and content, and business model, and, and, and..)"*referenced from here*

Finally, Radical Disclosure blows everything wide open and challenges the concepts outlined above. It is disruptive technology, politicology, and sociology. The trick is riding the edge between order and oblivion. It is bringing as much light into our personal, social corporate and political lives as possible. It tests our human limits to act freely in an enlightened and social environment.

Radical Disclosure is not about advocating change or revelation, it is a revealing process already in motion. If humans and the living planet as we cherish it are to survive the influence of technology, humans need to use enlightenment to preserve life. "How?" is the question and challenge!

I appreciate all comments.
