That makes heutagogy a subset of andragogy, but whereas the latter will have us lead the learners by pitching problems to them, hosting Socratic discussions with them and perhaps curating content for them, the former is more about providing them with the tools and capabilities that enable them to lead their own learning journeys.

Core component #2: Discussion forum. The secondary component of my ILE is an open discussion forum. A discussion forum enables the learner to post a question to their peers, thereby leveraging the collective intelligence of the organisation.

We don’t even have to agree – in fact the discussion is often richer if we don’t – so long as the interaction is empathetic and mutually respectful. We all have different perspectives, and we operate under different circumstances, so there’s no “one answer” anyway. I welcome comments from my peers.

Humans are the only organisms that use computers, surf the Web, write text, film video, record audio, and engage with one another in online discussion forums.
