Knowledge, Learning, Community
Written in April and released some time later (the first blog cite is from elearnopedia June 30, which I missed, and then just today in elearnspace - they should add RSS to this page), this paper, written by the CEO of education.au, is more important for the direction it signals than what it says. Citing observations that education has lagged in the adoption of thechnology, the author suggests that "a new theory of learning, to provide a pedagogical framework for the digital age which is based on connectedness, is required urgently." George Siemens's Connectivism, an approach I also support, is cited favorably in this regard.
