Higher Education in a Web 2.0 World : JISC
-
Higher education has a key role in helping students refine, extend and articulate the diverse range of skills they have developed through their experience of Web 2.0 technologies. It not only can, but should, fulfil this role, and it should do so through a partnership with students to develop approaches to learning and teaching. This does not necessarily mean wholesale incorporation of ICT into teaching and learning. Rather it means adapting to and capitalising on evolving and intensifying behaviours that are being shaped by the experience of the newest technologies. In practice it means building on and steering the positive aspects of those behaviours such as experimentation, collaboration and teamwork, while addressing the negatives such as a casual and insufficiently critical attitude to information. The means to these ends should be the best tools for the job, whatever they may be. The role of institutions of higher education is to enable informed choice in the matter of those tools, and to support them and their effective deployment.

From Knowledgable to Knowledge-able: Learning in New Media Environments | Academic Commons
-
This new media
environment can be enormously disruptive to our current teaching
methods and philosophies. As we increasingly move toward an
environment of instant and infinite information, it becomes less
important for students to know, memorize, or recall information, and
more important for them to be able to find, sort, analyze, share,
discuss, critique, and create information. They need to move from
being simply knowledgeable to being knowledge-able. -
networked digital information is also qualitatively
different than information in other forms. It has the potential to be
created, managed, read, critiqued, and organized very differently
than information on paper and to take forms that we have not yet even
imagined. - 19 more annotations...
