"A digital scholar is yet to be defined. Traditionally, scholars are those who received formal education, recognized by a group of scholars and, to some degree, "retain the knowledge in their brain". I advocate to leave the term "scholar" ...to the traditional school system and device a new descriptor for the digital arena. I suggest something like "connected".
Don't forget, in connectivism, you will not retain the knowledge yourself, but you master the skill to mine for it when needed."
then I added:
"Google "invisible college" which is the precursor to "scholarship". You will discover that connectivity for the sake of creation of knowledge outside academia is very old and is still popular till today. Even between distant individuals. Technology just made it instantaneous and more accessible to the layperson."
Just thought to share. Any reactions?
Simple.... schooling is different from learning.... you go to school to be schooled.... live life to learn... living is undifined yet, only medically it is quantified... learning is not referenced to any quantification... so there should not be terms like 'digital scholar" which may equal an undiscrete term... equally there should not be a reference to "invisible college" cause we learn from visible and in-visible acccounts.... So, I believe there should be the term "live enabler" which is equal to "LIVEARNING"...!!!???
