A model for exploring a broad ecology of learning and knowing

This paper proposes a model that can be used to inform a strategic approach for the design, development, implementation and application of e-learning standards. It presents a working hypothesis that models the “problem space” spanning e-learning and knowledge management in holistic, but simple terms. It does this by placing emphasis on the interrelationships between learning, knowing, and thinking within the context of a set of “primitive” questions: Who, What, When, Where, How, Why, and If. As such, it suggests a broad “ecology” of context. By concentrating on these primitive questions a degree of simplicity can be achieved while not masking the richness and complexity that must be accommodated. This approach highlights opportunities for future design and implementation of ICT systems developed to support learning and the creation and management of knowledge. Particular attention is placed upon Why questions as pivotal to sense-making.
