      The internet provides an excellent opportunity to educate more people in more more subjects for less. It also enables to change the way that we teach and learn with a focus on collaboration and social learning. 
  • If access to higher education is a necessary element in expanding economic prosperity and improving the quality of life, then we need to address the problem of the growing global demand for education, as identified by Sir John Daniel.3
  • Fortunately, various initiatives launched over the past few years have created a series of building blocks that could provide the means for transforming the ways in which we provide education and support learning. Much of this activity has been enabled and inspired by the growth and evolution of the Internet, which has created a global “platform” that has vastly expanded access to all sorts of resources, including formal and informal educational materials. The Internet has also fostered a new culture of sharing, one in which content is freely contributed and distributed with few restrictions or costs.
  • Perhaps the simplest way to explain this concept is to note that social learning is based on the premise that our understanding of content is socially constructed through conversations about that content and through grounded interactions, especially with others, around problems or actions. The focus is not so much on what we are learning but on how we are learning.5
  • As more of learning becomes Internet-based, a similar pattern seems to be occurring. Whereas traditional schools offer a finite number of courses of study, the “catalog” of subjects that can be learned online is almost unlimited. There are already several thousand sets of course materials and modules online, and more are being added regularly.

      What I'm thinking already is positive--greater access is important. Negative. What about face time? Will this erase time spent face-to-face?
  • What if someone listened to hundreds of podcasts, watched dozens of online lectures, explored countless online resources related to Introduction to Auditing, Astronomy 101, or Ancient Rome, and then discussed them with friends and family or reflected on many of them in an online forum or series of blog posts?

  • The jury is still out on the need for a guide or facilitator in open education. As co-editor of a handbook of blended learning, I can say that I personally believe that blended is best. Recent research seems to suggest that this is true

      Without a guide or facilitator, do you leave too much room for interpretation, making up the facts?

      The very nature of this workshop suggests to me that we all need guides and human contact to a greater or lesser extent. I'm really enjoying these conversations - both online and in person!

      This is great article about how education is evolving and how it will be in the next century. My apprehension is that without a human interference how effective will it be?
  • Technology is changing higher education
  • Leading universities are putting course materials or even entire courses online -- free.

    "When HGSE Professor David Perkins looked back at his childhood little league and "backyard baseball" experiences he found the perfect metaphor for the set of teaching concepts he presents in his new book, Making Learning Whole: How Seven Principles of Teaching Can Transform Education. Perkins' principles are meant for educators to apply in schools, but they are also good advice for anyone wanting to take charge of his or her own lifelong learning."

      depending of the project, you always give some thought about what form it is going to take. The format, type of media, way to write is only wider

      Writing isn't a solitary act and reading is a social event. Books will be interactive and multimedia. Teachers will have to help students do this.
  • “Not just when you’re looking at the book, but also when you’re talking to people about the book or when you’re Googling things that occur to you as you read the book.”

    The written word is coming to life by being a key part of multimedia," Boardman said. "When people can not only pick up something by the written word, but also listen to it, see it move across the screen or see someone's interpretation of that word through moving images, then I think it becomes much more alive.

      There's a lot of information out there and we need to provide students with the critical thinking skills to successfully navigate between what is useful or true and that of utter rubbish. All the while encouraging them to expand their learning network, but not forgetting about the importance of face to face connections and hands on experiences.

    Thank you Ruth! This article is just about what I am trying to do with my students for years! This is very motivating! I found out last year that linking evaluating and citing sources is a good think to keep students focused: they search the author, publisher etc... and evaluate at the same time. You can read my blog post http://www.coetail.asia/amthinnes/ "changing the way we are teaching" (Sorry, the blog is difficult to read... getting better every week...) , for more info about it. The link I used so far is not bad from 9 grade, but too difficult for the younger children. If you have a better one, let me know! Anyway, it is great to know that we are at the same page.... Cheers, Anne-Marie
