Trial and error

Welcome to my diary about some learning experiments.

general thoughts

so, let's begin

Actually at first I just wanted to blog with another tool, but then I thought: why not continue my PLE diary ?

• (2009, March) question to myself: so, where is the learning ?
• (2011, August) I've decided to collect all my data into this wiki (will start first with my old blog posts, see here)
  the intention is to make it easily analyzable, e.g. when I look at certain aspects of my life...
• (2011, October)
  • reviewed my PLE diary at Wikiversity + added new section: Wikiversity wide: provide meta info about learning, actions
  • changed MediaWiki:Recentchangestext (adapt to learning aspect)
• (2011, December) using own wiki since 33 months, need to review this all later

Do you see the systems ?

1. learning goal ?

2. manage learning; managing both content and process ?

3. communicate with others in the process of learning ?

Thoughts

• 2007: Introduction into General Systems Thinking
• 2009
  • March 2009: started reading books by von Bertalanffy
  • seminar: What are systems ? by Prof. Dr. phil. Mathias Gutmann, Institut für Philosophie, Universität Karlsruhe (TH)
  • learning by doing: Wikipedia:WikiProject Systems
    • step1: inhaling
      • wikis are addictive (someone find a cure please)
  • Gene Bellinger's Systems Thinking World (Systems wiki + Linkedin)
    • From all the so-called activities which have the name "systems" (in this chapter) Gene's initiated activities have kept me close to ST - Thank you!
  • WikiSD, the System Dynamics Society wiki
• 2011: wikiversity: Complex socio-ecological systems

ToDo

• finish: Perspectives on General System Theory
  • created an account for the future - when I am reading books: librarything (not used at all until now)
• commons:
  • commons:Category:Systems theory diagrams
  • closed system + boundary
  • open system
• Systems
• File:System boundary.PNG : create some question mark behind boundary
• search systems in old Asian (Chinese, ...) texts
  • see PR

When will I use Help:Draw ?

2011 August: I won't do this anymore -> too complicated in a wiki with the available extensions so far

1. learning goal ?

create drawings, sketches, 2d/3d, cause effect, associations, mind maps, ... -> a picture says sometimes more

2. manage learning; managing both content and process ?

3. communicate with others in the process of learning ?

questions

• Why didn't I use it yet ?
  • technical answer:
    • no arrow (actually an arrow is bad, just a line is good enough)
    • text size fixed
  • thinking that first usage must be something world moving ?

• Perhaps it is the wrong approach/tool ? Also I want to change the wording to Visualize
  • wordplay: virtualize - replace r and t with the character in between from the alphabet

• 2009-04-01 an experience: Is there a device which can help to put my thoughts into digital form - preferred in light speed ?

todos

• I should enable svg for increasing semantics usage

When will I continue the thoughts on ...

• everything exists - it is not "dead", it just might seem so
  • see PR
• symbols/signs (on the street): there are many that say: NO, but look out for the ones or transform at that time in signs saying: yes, but ...
• Data

• archive
