An interesting article……. some extracts……………
“The most profound impact of the Internet is its ability to support and
expand the various aspects of social learning…….
It seems likely that a great deal of informal learning is taking place both
on and off campus via the online social networks………
The emphasis is on building a community of students and scholars as
much as on providing access to educational content.
These communities are harbingers of the emergence of a new form of
technology-enhanced learning—Learning 2.0.
The demand-pull approach is based on providing students with access to
rich (sometimes virtual) learning communities built around a practice.”
