Collective Learning: Getting Better at Getting Better

​Collective Learning: Getting Better at Getting Better

​Collective Learning: Getting Better at Getting Better introduces Douglas Engelbart’s ideas on augmenting human intellect and collective intelligence, with a practical focus on how teams learn, reflect, and improve together. Participants will explore the concept of the metalayer—the often-invisible layer where coordination, reflection, and knowledge capture happen—and leave with concrete ways to strengthen collective learning in their own teams or communities.

​The session will:

• ​Distinguish individual learning from collective learning

• ​Introduce Engelbart’s vision of collaborative intelligence and its relevance today

• ​Explore how a Meta-Layer above the web can support shared sense-making, deliberation, annotation, and co-creation

​This event is intended for educators, technologists, organizers, and anyone interested in how learning can scale beyond the individual without becoming centralized or extractive.
