Constellations for Learning
Charles Kerns,
EDUCAUSE Review,
May 20, 2002
One of four articles in the current EDUCAUSE Review that loks at the impact of More's Law on the future of education (See here for the others). Distributed as a monster PDF file (1.1 megabytes) this article (wisely) skips over most of the issues raised by the EDUCAUSE theme with some platitudes and gets to the heart of the matter while discussing wireless access while learning. "When is it OK to use theCRLFdevices? All of the time? Facilities designers and planners need to be aware of changes in common courtesies and practices and need to provide for them." That said, there is a certain sense in which the author is out of touch with the new reality. He writes, "Facilities must allow students,CRLFespecially those working in groups, to interact with each other and with their computing devices." Well sure. Of course. But it's not a question of "allowing" students, something that becomes clear when you ask the converse question: how would you stop them?
