- 8. Why is it important? New ways to communicate Easier access to information (from experts, from the “wisdom of crowds”) User control of the conversation Changing business model (incl. educational institutes) eg. encouraging people to interact with your website/business eg. taking your business to where users would rather be
- 9. What are the educational implications? People go to the web to learn If you’re not visible on the web you’re invisible (or worse, ignored) Students and teachers need to develop skills in utilising these new tools and modes of communication (nb. students are doing it voluntarily. Teachers need to catch up!) Students want to actively participate in their education (eg. creating, critiquing, editing, modifying and interacting with content, curriculum, teachers, students, employers, the online community) so institutions need to facilitate greater student control.
