1. The evolving story of LGC: Part 3

8. And … from the Open Learn reviewers … Reviewer 1 lot of ideas presented in this paper and each needs to be expanded carefully and with simple examples. There’s a lot to digest in a short abstract . . . Some care required in linking the various parts of the fundamental ideas – not an easy task. Reviewer 2 Avoid buzzwords! “agile intermediaries”. What is the systematic value of LGC? Provided examples are too fragmented, there needs to be a coherent framework of reference - Provide clear and coherent framework for the concept of LGC Reviewer 3 Focuses on a perhaps somewhat under-researched aspect. However, the proposal seems very immature , doesn’t provide much beyond mentioning that learner-generated contexts are important. The writing is clear, though there is quite a bit of jargon … No real conclusions: the paper tries to “raise awareness” The authors should really analyse the notion of learner-generated contexts in more detail and explain what it contributes exactly to the state-of-the-art .
