Charting the Course of Teaching and Learning in a Networked World
Collaborative Intelligence
Hello virtual colleagues :-)
A while ago, whilst working on a social networking / learning project, I came across an interesting sounding term: Collaborative Intelligence [link to one of my pages].
It sounded an interesting concept and I contributed a few ideas (to the above page). However, the more I searched for concrete examples in "collaborative intelligence" the more convinced I became that there's not a lot happening in this area.
Does anyone have any concrete examples of exciting work taking place in collaborative intelligence?
Does anyone have a good definition of what it is?
Is it hype or something concrete?

Typo correction:
Understanding: models (computer based OR in the mind) that predict how things behave.

Thank you Ruth
I read the blog with interest.
It says the purpose of intelligence is prediction.
It's useful to try and be clear what we mean by intelligence. Admittedly they'll be a range of definitions, and here's another set that may be of use (to someone, one day):-
Data: raw observations and measurements (and quantified items).
Information: data presented in a format that people can grasp.
Knowledge: a network of facts (data and information).
Understanding: models (computer based on in the mind) that predict how things behave.
Intelligence: problem (or challenge) solving - using analysis, synthesis, and evaluation (based on knowledge and understanding).
So in the above framework "understanding" provides the ability to predict things, and intelligence makes use of that ability.

@venessamiemis in www.emergentbydesign.com
has created a Junto discourse (including initial discussions on actively co creating software to optimise discourse) You' ll need to email her directly to join the new Junto, not the blog comments of course. There's a pbwiki being developed also a part of the discussion. Extensive and inspired comments on her last 3 blog posts. A group is naturally syncing to further collective wisdom. Its an awe inspiring discussion!
Reviews
"The depth of your observations from last night is still resonating with me. I'm trying to think of another interview I've given where the questioner understood the material so well that he/she so regularly (and fluidly) went into new intellectual territory. I can't think of any. Pretty amazing. Thank you."
