Re: [Coworking] Co-learning and co-living

[Alex Hillman]

I highly recommend talking to Aaron Schaap about the Colearning program
he's been running for several years now:

http://workthefactory.com/colearning/


A ways back gave my $0.02 on an episode of my coworking Q show about
alternative
learning & coworking
.
I personally think that classes and bootcamps and even co-learning are
really barely the tip of the iceberg. What I really want to see more of is
a re-focusing on apprenticeship models, of which I think coworking spaces
are uniquely positioned to create better than almost any other modern.

[Coworking] Co-learning and co-living

[Jake Weissbourd]

Hi all, this may be a bit off-topic, but I'm interested in investigating 
whether or not the co-working business model could be replicated for 
co-learning. I understand many co-working spaces have educational 
programming, and I have paid attention to WeWork's recent acquisitions of 
FlatIron and 2U, but I'm curious about the prospect of creating spaces 
(co-learning, as well as co-living, perhaps) designed primarily for 
non-traditional learners - who study online, enroll in coding bootcamps, 
etc. As a Higher Ed consultant and innovator, it's becoming clearer and 
clearer that the university will "unbundle" -  students will take a course 
here, and do a bootcamp there - but ultimately, people still want a space 
to congregate, to have in-person instruction, to forge deep bonds, etc. 

I've worked for a couple years at Duet  in Boston, which 
rents space from the CIC , so I've seen it work, 
but I'm curious to hear people's thoughts on the idea. Who else is trying 
it? What might be some unanticipated obstacles? Who should I talk to? 

Would love to hear people's thoughts!

Many thanks, 
Jake
