There are various kinds of relationships with media, in practices of 'learning'. Here we consider a practice of formaciòn rather than mere learning - which happens all the time, for good or evil. Formaciòn = the well-founded, skilful organising and infrastructuring, of evolving facilitation, of highly capable. partisan practices of economic, cultural and aesthetic transformation. Aka liberation.
In some kind of hybrid relation with other paradigms of learning and media, is the idea that there may be 'a college' - a self-conscious voluntary association of producer-users ('produsers': MC Morgan. See Evolving personal vision) - in which multiple investigators evolve a repository of descriptions that support practices of formaciòn: - not 'open' but actually, rather focused: on radical transformation; - curating cumulative 'legacy' of generations of activism; - mobilised in 'pods' of action-learning or participatory design; - to support well-founded, well-federated, distributed activism in radical cultural and economic formations.
Such a practice might mobilise any or all of the principles of large-scale 'delivery', commonplace books and autodidact-capability, or federation for consensus. But **solidarity** - as in 'solidarity economy', for example - is its core principle, as distinct from the liberality or mere curiosity that might characterise them in their typical manifestations.
The descriptions might be expected to be 'patterns' in the Alexander sense, so that the repo - the commons of media - constitutes a **pattern language**: of activist practice. And the patterns and the language are constructed in such a way that they can be fluently mobilised by 'singing' or 'dancing' them into the live repertoire of an activist community, with a practical need to be met, for organisational capability and shared insight.

This is about as severe a test of 'shared' learning as is possible? Nothing commonplace about this!
