ABSTRACT
We live in an era of unprecedented technological development characterized by the rise of artificial intelligence-mediated techno-social spaces. In this context, it becomes more and more evident we need a different conception of education that shifts the focus from the consumption of disembodied knowledge to the catalyzation of personal and collective development. In a rhizomatic view, knowledge exists only in a web of relationships and education's primary goal should be to facilitate the development of learning communities where students can engage in meaningful relational activities with their peers and with the world outside. Rhizomatic learning networks are self-organized collectives able to demonstrate emergent properties like novelty and innovation. In this chapter, we envisage a new nomadic pedagogy for the 21st century, one that facilitates the development of learning rhizomes, islands of self-organization amid an entropic environment. We suggest there are certain qualities in learning that someone can realize, understand, and take advantage of, only if approaches education as the developmental process of a living rhizome.
