How Web Technology Is About to Change How We Learn - NYTimes.com
Peer-to-peer collaboration enabled by the Web not only dissolves geographic limitations; it also dissolves roles. Everyone has something to offer to someone else within a specific context, and given the proper communication tools, a community can bootstrap itself into higher states of knowledge. Educational experts will likely decry the rise of user-generated learning content, but this barb won’t stick long, as quality control and social standing mechanisms are only going to get more and more sophisticated. Members of online learning communities will seamlessly leap between beginner, enthusiast, and expert, depending on the learning context, and they will be able to find and create content that is more relevant to their lives than anything schools or publishers can provide now.
