 # Choose Your Own (Technology-Enhanced Learning) Adventure
 Greta Goetz
 
-This presentation will move through Emacs artifacts: first illustrating possible paths for beginners and then mapping out the significance of the enhanced learning potential of Emacs (Caillet in Andler & Guerry, Engelbart, Markauskaite & Goodyear). The technology-enhanced learning (TEL) that Emacs affords includes a systems view of 'many, many features' (Stallman) which surpass the confines of a pre-fabricated environment (Stiegler). This affords diverse possibilities for individuals to interact creatively and autonomously to satisfy their own needs (Ill
-ich). Its adaptability will be shown to be an asset in supporting the learning trends identified by the latest pedagogical research (Guo). 
+This presentation will first illustrate possible paths for beginners and then mapping out the significance of the enhanced learning potential of Emacs (Caillet in Andler & Guerry, Markauskaite & Goodyear). The technology-enhanced learning (TEL) that Emacs affords departs from the 'many, many features' (Stallman) which surpass the confines of a pre-fabricated environment (Stiegler). This affords diverse possibilities for individuals to interact creatively and autonomously to satisfy their own needs alongside others who share use of the tool (Illich). Its adaptability will be shown to be an asset in support of the learning trends identified by the latest pedagogical research (Guo). 
 
-# Intro
-
-The 'many, many features' (Stallman 2002: 4) of Emacs do not limit imaginable types of interactivity, supporting both formal and informal learning (cf. Caillet in Andler & Guerry 2008). Emacs can function as a scaffold for development (cf. Vygotsky 1979: 86), promoting the creative and autonomous ability of individuals to interact with their digital environment and others who share the use of this tool (Illich 1973). Individuals can use Emacs as often or seldom as they want to express their needs and meaning in action, with no obligation to use it (cf. Illich 1973).
-
-The formal learning involved pertains to Emacs programs and documentation (the 'temple') while related discussion and smaller task-based problem solving represents examples of informal learning (the 'forum') (cf. Caillet in Andler & Guerry 2008). As a context-rich environment (Trocmé-Fabre 1999), Emacs fulfills the promise of general computing: not boxing users into personas (cf. Stiegler 2018) but allowing users at all levels to organize and assemble multiple knowledge domains (Markauskaite & Goodyear 2017) and programs so that they are 'just right'. People wanting to create tailored learning environments who feel alienated or unsupported by pre-fabricated text and programming environments will find their way with Emacs. 
-
-1.  What if we are beginners overwhelmed by formal Emacs documentation? Two potential learning paths:
-
-    - a. Build on a needs-basis. Make your own artifacts: no use-case is too small; leave your trace. 
-    - b. Study others' inits and use-cases; Read Planet EmacsLife; Consult programmer or power user use-cases; Map out workflows. 
-
-2. Emacs as personal, creative, autonomous:
-
-    - a. Emacs allows for organic ongoing changes to the organization of knowledge, imagination, and experience (cf. Guerry & Gaume 2009) . This is important as not all learners have the same spatial/visual needs and because these needs and knowledge can change over time (Vygotsky 1979; Gardner 1983; Wang 2020).
-    - b. Emacs allows us to control our tools and tasks (Illich 1973). By contrast, care-less use of pre-fabricated apps can lead to loss of know-how in life (Stiegler 2018).
-   - c. The art of collecting traces (digital or not) is timeless - and important to survival.
-
-3.  Emacs as systems design for technology-enhanced learning (TEL):
-
-    - a. Good TEL design performance should also educate the designer (Goodyear & Retalis 2010). Further, good design focuses on 'frameworks', which are systems 'that can be customized, specialized, or extended to provide more specific, more appropriate, or slightly different capabilities' (Alexander 1993 in Gabriel 1996), assembling epistemic domains (Markauskaite & Goodyear 2017). This pedagogical approach is supported by Emacs artifacts (packages, documentation, forums, etc.).
-    - b.  The 'wise' use of programming (Crichton 1983) actively manages and organizes workflow. This permits iterative development. Elementary use-case: a workflow that relies on PPT and Zoom vs. already having a more modular viewpoint supported by diverse Emacs packages. The latter adaptability is supported by the latest educational research (Guo). Further: Emacs allows movement from user to contributor (Stiegler 2018; Stavrou).
-    - c. Wise programming can include fun programming - 'there are people who want to put a stop to that' (Crichton 1983; Gaffney 2019).
-    - d. Extending this systems/design view, Emacs is developed and maintained by a community dedicated to supporting this freedom of use in these multiple contexts (cf. Illich 1973).
-    - e. One perspective is less likely to override others in such a heterogeneous environment (Morin 2004).
-
-# Conclusion
-
-Emacs does not limit any imaginable type of interactivity and promotes a diversity of related content, further supporting the pursuit of more advanced TEL (viz. Guo). This was illustrated through an elementary use-case that compared being limited to PPT as opposed to having basic familiarity with Emacs, which permits manageable, continuous exploration of knowledge, workflows, and tools (cf. Alexander in Gabriel; Goodyear & Retalis) and movement from consumer to creator (Stiegler; Stavrou). Using Emacs means being able to use a sophisticated digital tool, thanks to the contributions of heterogeneous maintainers, developers, and community members whose artifacts comprise a meta picture. It is possible, through using Emacs, to learn about the design of digital learning and learning in general as access to knowledge is not walled off by prefabricated design(cf. Illich; Stiegler). We can choose our own adventure.
+1.  Setting out as beginners who may be overwhelmed by formal Emacs documentation. Some inroads. No trace is too small.
+2.  Emacs as common ground between people and technology.
+3.  Emacs modularity and TEL design.
+4.  Emacs as personal, creative, autonomous.
+5.  Emacs and cognitive democracy.
