Traditional approaches are becoming unable to deliver the required education. Several causes for this inefficiency can be identified. I argue that beyond specific causes, the lack of effective education is related to complexity. However, information technology is helping us overcome this complexity.}, doi = {10.1002/cplx.21536}, url = {http://arxiv.org/abs/1402.2827}, author = {Carlos Gershenson} } @inbook {GershensonHeylighen2005, title = {How Can We Think the Complex?}, booktitle = {Managing Organizational Complexity: Philosophy, Theory and Application}, year = {2005}, pages = {47{\textendash}61}, publisher = {Information Age Publishing}, organization = {Information Age Publishing}, chapter = {3}, abstract = {This chapter does not deal with specific tools and techniques for managing complex systems, but proposes some basic concepts that help us to think and speak about complexity. We review classical thinking and its intrinsic drawbacks when dealing with complexity. We then show how complexity forces us to build models with indeterminacy and unpredictability. However, we can still deal with the problems created in this way by being adaptive, and profiting from a complex system{\textquoteright}s capability for selforganization, and the distributed intelligence this may produce.}, url = {http://uk.arxiv.org/abs/nlin.AO/0402023}, author = {Carlos Gershenson and Francis Heylighen}, editor = {Kurt Richardson} }
