Chick sent me high, -to flow? No!
I spent some time reading on posts from in the General forum on Moodle. It was some job to go through all these postings and comments, and,- admitted, I didn’t finish the job. The overflow of debate, information, concepts difficult to understand, stressed me a lot.
I recently read about Flow-theory in relation to learning, introduced by Hans Henrik Knoop. In his article: “The art of finding Flow in a world that hinders it” (my own translation), he points out some factors to promote the probability of encoutering ‘flow’:
- the possibility to take initiative, to govern your self with respect to the surroundings
- exact, precise and energiseing objectives
- non-bureaucratic rules
- challenges must fit abilities
- distinct, non-humiliating feedback
- ability to remove distracting factors to lever concentration
If these factors are present you should find a better learning-environment.
I can see many aspects of a setup like this cck08-thing enabling good learning. But it is very important to create confidence and good relations in the network.
When I followed the discussions around Cathrins ‘the sceptic’ it didn’t work well for me. That chick did not send me high
How will a connectivist-approach deal with ‘the flow-problem’?
