connect ed

from uni of the future

The web is their classroom, Facebook is their community, the world is their study group. The days of walled gardens are over . . . if universities won't adapt, students will do it without them."


kevin kelly's what tech wants..
....to free us up from all the calculations and policy, it wants to free us up time to actually participate in life as opposed to just studying it.. it wants to free us up to share more.
that participation.. that collaboration.. will get us to more incredible spaces and gatherings and cures and whatevers..
we are more together.

flushing out the individual schools and unis - making it all available to anyone per choice. more options, with a mentor group helping you fine tune, prune, your focus.
the multiple eyes will amp the accuracy and keep an ongoing awareness of inaccuracy. the fact that we don't know..

key will be in our flexibility and open mindedness to new ways of acknowledging people. behance, ratemyprofessors, wikipedia, expositories, reputation currency, eportfolios, video logging..
