PROJECT DESCRIPTION:

Purpose for the Bear Maximum Online Wisdom Community Project

The Purpose of the Bear Maximum Project is to create an online wisdom community for informallearning comprised of mothers of all ages in order to promote mentoring and support for oneanother in the process of collaborative knowledge innovation in order to faciliate transformationallearning. (Gunawardena, Ortegano-Layne, Carabajal, Frechette, Lindemann and Jennings,2006, p. 217).The project will take place online, and will follow the WisCom model of Instructional Design,developed by Gunawardena, Ortegano-Layne, Carabajal, Frechette, Lindemann and Jennings(2006) in order to “design learning environments for ill-structured knowledgedomains” (Jonassen, 1997, as cited in Gundawardena, 2006, p. 219).The project seeks to provide an online wisdom community for mothers to come together tocreate a supportive community of practice.Though the expectations placed on mothers today can be overwhelming, it can be helpful tocome together as a supportive community wherein members can provide mentorship andsupport to one another as mothers and colleagues in the practice of the art and science ofmotherhood.

RATIONALE:

Why is this needed?

Mothers today wear many hats, while simultaneously keeping many different balls up in the air.They may be raising children, caring for elderly parents, working full-time, going to school, tryingto maintain friendships and relationships, managing the household, all the while feeling pressureto be thin, beautiful, eat organic, grow organic, live sustainably, and be the perfect everything-to-everybody.Is balance possible given such a situation in which one is driven to maximize their potentialacross many divergent interests?Or, is this yet another example of the tragedy of the commons - the tragedy of the commonmom?While there is no single solution to the problem of being overwhelmed, having a supportivecommunity of peers to collaborate and engage with can help us learn to survive and thrive.
