"I’ve gained much from being a transparent learner. Over the last nine years - on blogs, wikis, and recently Twitter - I’ve expressed half-formed ideas and received the benefit of constructive (and critical feedback). I generally focus on what I’ve gained, but I suspect readers of my sites and articles have gained something from the experience as well. Putting ideas out for discussion contrasts with formal “reach a conclusion and publish” model."
-
Social technology - such as Twitter, blogs, Facebook - opens the door to sharing the process of learning, not only the final product
-
Experts utilize pattern recognition in comparing new situations to previous experiences.
-
Novices, in contrast, have not yet developed a rich experience base. As such, learning for novices is sequential.
-
The varying cognitive architecture of those who are new to a subject and those with significant experience provides support to the value of peer-to-peer learning.
-
individuals who share similar cognitive architectures (novices with novices and experts with experts) have greater capacity to communicate.
-
this places the needs of the field above the needs of the individual.

Consider
-
a group of researchers who have spent decades exploring a subject. They will be better able to understand new research in the field than a masters student with limited experience. By the same account, a student who has just overcome hurdles in understanding a new subject area can provide better help to others who are still struggling than could an expert who has long since forgotten the experience of being a novice in the field

when we make our learning transparent, we become teachers. Even if we are new to a field and don’t have the confidence to dialogue with experts, we can still provide important learning opportunities to others.

Maylyn TanInteresting perspective on LPP and forum lurking
-
e are told that legitimate peripheral participation (LPP) is an important stage in developing our confidence to contribute and belong to a community. I’m not sure I agree

My argument is this: when we make our learning transparent, we become teachers. Even if we are new to a field and don’t have the confidence to dialogue with experts, we can still provide important learning opportunities to others.

Dave TrussProminent and transparent learners
I can’t speak for them, but from reading prominent educational technology bloggers - Will Richardson, Terry Anderson, Stephen Downes, Grainne Conole - I’m left with the impression that they too seek not to proclaim what they know, but rather to engage and share with others as they explore and come to understand technology and related trends.
Watching others learn is an act of learning.-

My work on blogs, articles, handbooks, and so on is an invitation to engage in conversation, not a proclamation of what I absolutely know.
-
the value of dialogue and discourse in learning can’t be subjugated to the view that all contributions should advance a field.

When someone decides to share their thoughts and ideas in a transparent manner, they become a teacher to those who are observing. Social technology - such as Twitter, blogs, Facebook - opens the door to sharing the process of learning, not only the final product.
