Terry Elliot has some strong views on Extreme Learning. To a certain extent, the fact Terry cites Extreme Programming and provides links to some great XP resources is testamount to the power of the medium we are both using to discuss this subject. I think this is step change in the way we teach and the way we learn.

Terry has also contributed to the SiT thread on Extreme Learning (XL)

Is there any overlap between XP and XL. Are there any lessons to be learnt? I would suggest that the end product of an XP 'project' is both a product - the actual program that satisfies the project requirements - and the knowledge captured in the heads of the extreme programmers and in the source code of the extreme programs (and any documentation of course ;-))

What, then, is the end product of a XL 'project'? I contend it is primarily the knowledge captured in the heads of the extreme learners and a 'product' in terms of the weblogs (documentation) and other online resources that the XL team brought together to construct their knowledge. This symmetry appeals to me.
