Do 'curriculums' need to GO to move forward?

A timely tweet from Leo Gaggl led me to a very interesting blog post by Dave Cormier called "Rhizomatic Education: Community as Curriculum". This article relates really well to my previous post called 'Co-op Knowledge vs Collective Knowledge' - but it also highlights the question:

Do 'curriculums' need to GO to move forward?

Are prescriptive curriculum documents holding back educators ability to more forward into a 'social/community' approach to learning - whereby the 'instructor' provides:

"an introduction to an existing professional community in which students may participate—to offer not just a window, but an entry point into an existing learning community"

through the use of online educational network?

"Through involvement in multiple communities where new information is being assimilated and tested, educators can begin to apprehend the moving target that is knowledge in the modern learning environment."

Are we too regulated to develop rich educational environments?
