The fundamental shift that Sir Ken is talking about is more similar to discovery based education. Just like google which allows its employees to use 20% of their time to pursue any pet project, I think the education system should have 20% time free time for kids to to pursue any idea or vision or dream maybe within school or outside the school. This is one way to balance the rigid structure of the current learning against total flexible system where its easy for kids to be lost without learning some valuable knowledge. So the main question is should we allow 20-25% of time as free time to pursue their dream ? I think it is yes
Laura Cummings on 14 Oct 08Although Moodle by itself is a great system it does not previously have any embedded support for voice communication. This project created a Gong Moodle module so that teachers using Moodle can easily put a Gong discussion board into a course. The Gong activity can be supported as an individual one (for a course as a whole) or a grouped one (for each group inside a course). The module provides a seamless integration. For example, user authentication in the Gong system is done transparently to the users. They are not ever required to log on the Gong system separately once they have logged on to Moodle.
