Don Tapscott and Anthony D Williams argue that universities should embrace collaborative learning, mass customization, and discovery learning. But, mostly, collaborative learning. "Universities need an entirely new modus operandi for how the content of higher education is created. The university needs to open up, embrace collaborative knowledge production, and break down the walls that exist among institutions of higher education and between those institutions and the rest of the world. I think he`s sort of right, though I wouldn't focus on collaborating so much as sharing and cooperating, and I wouldn't focus on classes and professors so much as learning in a community.
