Principle 3 New - Retrospective Meaning - Traditional learning environments (TLEs) tend to be developed around #knowledge that is clean and ordered and in most cases predictable. However electronic learning environments (ELEs) work best in environments where the #knowledge is conflicting, noisy and there exists lots of uncertainty even regarding the value of the #knowledge. As as result of this TLEs tend to operate with discrete #knowledge chunks while ELEs work with connected #knowledge #chunks, where each node only contains partial #knowledge and so #knowledge is not in any node/person but in some assemblage of #nodes. This spread of #knowledge can cause confusion and so rather than clear prospective control of the knowledge as is the case in TLEs, coherence is often only retrospective once patterns have emerged and meaning has been induced. These #knowledge characteristics are mainly as a result of the overabundance of #knowledge that now exists. While previous learning approaches were modelled on a paucity of #knowledge, or at least limited access to #knowledge, ELEs now need to take account abundant, conflicting, and unstructured #knowledge sources.
