The World Is Open: How Web Technology Is Revolutionizing Education
John Wiley and Sons Ltd, Aug 2009, Pages: 480
Whether you are a scientist on a ship in Antarctic waters or a young girl in a Philippine village, you can learn whenever and whatever you want from whomever you are interested in learning it from.
As technologies have become more available, even in the most remote reaches of the world, and as more people contribute a wealth of online resources, the education world has become open to anyone anywhere.
In The World Is Open, education technology guru Curtis Bonk explores ten key trends that together make up the 'WE-ALL-LEARN' framework for understanding the potential of technology's impact on learning in the 21st century:
- Web Searching in the World of e-Books
- E-Learning and Blended Learning
- Availability of Open Source and Free Software
- Leveraged Resources and OpenCourseWare
- Learning Object Repositories and Portals
- Learner Participation in Open Information Communities
- Electronic Collaboration
- Alternate Reality Learning
- Real-Time Mobility and Portability
Networks of Personalized Learning
In addition, this important resource contains compelling interviews that capture the diverse global nature of the open educational world from those who are creating new learning technologies as well as those who are using them to learn and teach in new ways. Using the dynamic 'WE-ALL-LEARN' model, learners, educators, executives, administrators, instructors, and parents can tap into the power of Web technology and unleash a world of information.
