At TExpo today I have been hearing a lot of talk about participatory democracy (not that anyone used the term explicitly). It is not enough to merely provide services and regard citizens as consumers. I said that yesterday and was echoed today by such speakers as Keith Culver and Liss Jeffrey. This article contains some practical lessons along the same lines in the field of participatory journalism. And, I would suggest, contains the same lessons for those who wish to provide participatory learning (or participatory education).
