How do we augment this system’s capacity to sense, respond to, and shape its environment?

• Through the lens of complex adaptive systems, resilience and network science...
• Through the lens of sensemaking and HCI...
• Hypermedia Discourse: social-semantic web + models of discourse
How do we augment this system’s capacity to sense, respond to, and shape its environment?
7
• Through the lens of complex adaptive systems, resilience and network science... • many interacting agents (human
and software) • many weak signals that can
build up unexpectedly • diversity and redundancy • feedback loops • visual analytics to reveal
emergent patterns and network properties
• ability to withstand change and shock to the system
Resilience
• Walker, et al. (2004) define resilience as
“the capacity of a system to absorb disturbance and reorganize while undergoing change, so as to still
retain essentially the same function, structure, identity, and feedbacks”

Creating flexibility and innovation amid system failures “Platforms for resilience - enabling responsive flexibility, distributed collaboration, and transparency - will allow institutions to meet such challenges through innovation, adaptation, and openness.”
How do we augment this system’s capacity to sense, respond to, and shape its environment?
11
• Through the lens of sensemaking and HCI... • many plausible narratives: what
was, is, or might be going on?... • many representational artifacts
being shared and annotated • attention to the quality of
conversation: how well are agents listening to each other and what kinds of contributions do they make?
• informal interaction mixed with stronger public claims
• many connections being made, both formal and fuzzy
• critical thinking • argumentation • assumptions • analogical thinking
• causality • juxtapositions • “kinda related...”
Sensemaking: the search for plausible, narrative connections
• In their review of sensemaking, Klein, et al. conclude:
• “By sensemaking, modern researchers seem to mean something different from creativity, comprehension, curiosity, mental modeling, explanation, or situational awareness, although all these factors or phenomena can be involved in or related to sensemaking. Sensemaking is a motivated, continuous effort to understand connections (which can be among people, places, and events) in order to anticipate their trajectories and act effectively. […] A frame functions as a hypothesis about the connections among data.”

Contested Collective Intelligence
conversations are critical to sensemaking
there is no master worldview
we need CI infrastructures to pool awareness of how people are reading small signals, and
amplify important connections

OLnet is searching out the
evidence for effec4ve OER, and building an Evidence Hub — a living map by, of and for
the OER movement — and those we need
to impact

We need to pool our Collective Intelligence

How do they all join up?
And how could they be joined to provide an advanced
CI platform, e.g. Which approach has the strongest evidence?
Who is making use of this report in policy lobbying? Who is working on this problem?
Is there a connection between this technology and this challenge?
Are these two organizations related? Which challenge is most contentious?
Has this research ever been applied in practice? Has anyone evaluated this product?
