- 5. To be collaborativemeans that you embrace a certain way of life and work ... an openness to the ideas of other people, and in particular to how their ideas and perspectives may mold, change and transform your ideas. The heart of collaboration is openness to the ideas to others, and a stated and acted upon willingness to explore those ideas, rather than assuming that everything you think is right and correct from the get-go. n To be collaborative then, is in essence a human process, that plays out over whatever modality of interaction you use with other people, be that face-to-face, email, a wiki or any other "collaborative technology".

- 11. It's definitely unwiseto assume anyone or anything is protected. Isolated work, whether it's in a university or in the Civic Space, is simply not a sustainable model . "When the lights go out, they go out for everybody," says Susan Altshuler, Director, Finance and Grants Administration, I-Open. Because of the new unprecedented demands for scalable innovative solutions - hey, the Icebergs are melting - no one can afford to think in isolation anymore . … we need deep vertical investment in research, but deep knowledge leaders must collaborate with leaders in the Civic Space, the ones on the run who, because they access the thin and wide of this big wave, have the working knowledge of where the next super set of cross discipline innovation opportunity resides. By collaborating with deep research for guidance on the subtleties of a discipline or a quick "you oughta think about that and here's why" we'll be able to survive as a community, as a human race . This is definitely a give and take arrangement as researchers will have new insights from their collaborating colleagues about where to invest their time to generate actionable research. We create the open spaces for the early conversations to take place and the economic development strategy guidance to bring those ideas quickly to action in a process called , "Strategic Doing."

Rhizomatic Learning Dave Cormier http://innovateonline.info/index.php?view=article&id=550 A rhizomatic plant has no center and no defined boundary ; rather, it is made up of a number of semi-independent nodes, each of which is capable of growing and spreading on its own, bounded only by the limits of its habitat (Cormier 2008 ). …. In the rhizomatic view, knowledge can only be negotiated , and the contextual, collaborative learning experience shared by constructivist and connectivist pedagogies is a social as well as a personal knowledge-creation process with mutable goals and constantly negotiated premises.
- 24. The rhizome metaphor,which represents a critical leap in coping with the loss of a canon against which to compare, judge, and value knowledge, may be particularly apt as a model for disciplines on the bleeding edge where the canon is fluid and knowledge is a moving target . Thank you, Dave!
