Consumer Contributor
Disengaged• A Zombie Learner says, ―I don‘t
care.‖
• They are not producing or consuming— they are decomposing.
• They have no desire to explore and spend little to no effort learning new things or opening themselves up to new technologies of learning.
Learner• This learner thinks, ―I want to
know.‖
• These are the active consumers.
• This is how most of us learn everyday. We seek knowledge –finding it, reading it, and internalizing it.
• The means through which we gain knowledge has increased and dramatically changed due to technological, mobile, and wireless advances.
Initiator
• This learner initiates a
conversation by asking, ―Do you
know?‖
• They are dynamic consumers of
knowledge.
• They instigate, prod, stir, and
then wait to see what answers
they get.
Wanderer• This learner says, ―Look what I
found.‖
• They are an active contributor to the online learning community.
• A wanderer is someone who stumbles upon an interesting source of knowledge somewhere on the web and then shares it on Twitter, Facebook, or another online community.
Creator• This learner says, ―I will do it.‖
• They are dynamic contributors of knowledge.
• Creators can answer questions confidently and respond with YouTube, or blog, or other community post.
• Without these dynamic contributors the perpetual growth and value of online mutant communities would die.
