Cards for Insight: Pick two cards and add your thoughts between

Since 103% of all co-creation of value resides in the links, feedback
loops, the in-between spaces and unique insights and annotations
from participants, let’s unfold a way to address this:

Cards for Insight
1. Addressing how we relate to information and meaning-making.
2. Pick two cards and add your thoughts between.
3. Notice social stigmergy and reflect on attention.
4. Design and homestead social learning systems in light of intelligence, networked intelligence and systems intelligence.
5. Experience and learn to use Cards for Insight — As easy as a card game, as powerful as a social machine.
6. Understand how to add value in light of situational awareness.
7. Interact to the full extent of your ability.
8. Map moves conducive to knowledge mapping and flows.
9. Play with frames, frame and reframe, move beyond rigid narratives.
10. Cultivate shared understanding in light of generative closure.
11. Take thought conducive to convivial conversation.

Cards for Insight: Cards are play, possibility space and shared understanding affordances

OpenAI:
1. Asynchronous communication: Metalogue often involves a back-and-forth exchange of ideas and perspectives, which can be facilitated by asynchronous communication platforms such as forums or discussion boards that allow participants to contribute at their own pace.

2. Anonymous or pseudonymously-identified participation: Allowing participants to communicate without revealing their real-world identities can create a sense of equality and encourage honest and open discussion.

3. Structured prompts or questions: Providing structured prompts or questions can help guide and focus the conversation, and make it easier for participants to understand and respond to each other’s viewpoints.

4. Moderation: Having a moderator or facilitator to help guide the conversation and ensure that it stays on track can be helpful in promoting metalogue.

5. Tools for representation and visualization: Visualization tools such as mind maps or concept maps can help participants represent and understand each other’s perspectives and facilitate mutual understanding.

Card: Understanding
What if understanding is our
ability to hold space for the
possibility of knowledge, as
it emerges, unfolds, directs
and discloses its relevance
to unexplored aspects of
things known?
