I regularly talk to Subject matter Experts (SMEs) in the HE sector about the courses they want to put online - ususally through Moodle. Most often, probably because of the pressure they are under, they have not given a thought to how their students might construct their own learning pathways/ networks/ . The lecturers principal focus is (very often ) '... what's on Moodle...'

I can see how this approach to describing learning as not merely a pathway (long road to a goal) or network (grid-like) could help me talk to colleagues about how they might draw on student's talent for solving their own problems.

And so add to the quality and perhaps depth of their learning.

Could you please also design a tool that helps people like me show lecturers how they can let go - become more comfortable about students' talent for innovation. Please!
