CLMOOC (Connected Learning MOOC)
I am curious to know if CLMOOC self-identifies as a Community of Practice, and if so what is the practice? Connected Learning?

essentially no cost
I think that this is worthy of unpicking, without denying the amazing opportunities offered by digital access and sharing. The financial cost of digital is much less than print but there are still distribution costs and human costs of curation and communication by author and reader (of which this annotation activity could be seen as a example).

our responsibilities are now that the festival of democracy that the internet promised has descended into a circus of unreason
I think that this is very important and related to much-needed work on critical/digital literacies to which you make a significant contribution Helen. My own view is that all of us educational technology practitioners and researchers could benefit from reflecting on what has happened and making our current and future practice even more reflexive. I did some research on the use of the idea of heterotopia in Internet contexts for a paper last year :(

a computer culture that treats the computer as an expressive medium and encourages differentiated styles of use and relationship with it
Unfortunately Gamergate and otherexperiences that women have within IT suggest that this was a bit overoptimistic. I think that existing structural inequalities are recreated in new contexts.

bricoleurs use a navigation of midcourse corrections.
I was influence by Weick and Ciborra. Extract from http://francesbell.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/sme_paper_finalwithwatermark1.pdf "An early exponent of such improvisation was Karl Weick who recommended emergent design for organisational change that focused more on reflective sense-making than on planning and prospective decision–making (Weick 2001). Such tinkering in organisational innovation and change is termed bricolage and IS innovations can feature a ‘bricoleur’ who uses the technology tools at hand to craft and recraft IS artefacts exploring technology to identify potential new uses and attempting to extend the boundaries of technology use (Ciborra 2002)."

for bricoleurs, it is more like a conversation than a monologue
in contrast with those software engineers who think that software requirements pre-exist, waiting to be discovered

Observation of the soft approach to programming calls into question deeply entrenched assumptions about the classification and value of different ways of knowing
My first introduction to this was through Checkland's Soft Systems Methodology, specifically the concept of systemicity as ways a seeing a situation rather than there being an objective system for us to see. I was already aware of the need for something through work as a systems analyst
