Different views of learning resources

I was just going through this presentation on personal learning from Stephen Downes (2008), and wanted to highlight the point he makes about 3 different approaches to viewing learning resources:

1. As a thing – books, videos, presentations i.e. a content object
2. As an event – lectures, workshops, seminars, meetings
3. As flow – user generated content, networks of interactions i.e. knowledge management (?)

The first 2 approaches are information- and medium-based, and stress content and rules. The third approach stresses experiences and pattern recognition.
