Interesting BBC radio series from Aleks Krotoski covering topics such as "What is the biggest threat to privacy: governments, corporate entities or our friends?", "Is control over one's digital life an illusion?

Connected learning is using today's technology to, "fuse young people's interests, friendships, and academic achievement through experiences laced with hands on production, shared purpose, and open networks" I originally saw this referenced in Angela Vierling-Claassen's blog http://liberationmath.org/2013/01/22/moocs-as-a-liberatory-project/
