They are not bounded, accommodate a variety of perspectives and allow learners freedom to source, use and reinterpret knowledge in ways that make sense to them. For ideas on learning ecosystems read John Seely Brown, Minds on Fire (2008) http://www.johnseelybrown.com/mindsonfire.pdf

Tension: individual vs collective Learning ecosystem (John Seely Brown) Wisdom of the crowds? when are crowds useful? When is individual better?
Definition of collective learning
Charting allows the learner to make use of people and resources to fine tune her choices at any point. We cannot exactly define charting prior to looking at existing behaviours. With TUG we developed a series of scenarios and use cases on the basis of our empirical study. We have also started developing, in collaboration with colleagues at the Technical University of Graz in Austria, initial mock ups to help use refine our thinking around some of the functionalities of a potential charting system. I will quickly show you some of these mockups, which I admit are rather ugly at the moment, but hopefully will give you the idea of where we are heading with this.
