Knowledge, Learning, Community
Replete with resources, this article examines the changing nature of learning as new information and communication technologies are added to the mix. I really like the theoretical approach followed by this article, which begins with a summary of Lawrence Lowrey's The Nature of Learning:
    CRLF
  1. Learners construct understanding for themselves. CRLF
  2. Understanding is to know relationships. CRLF
  3. Knowing relationships depends upon prior knowledge.
CRLFFrom this perspective, we can see at a glance why educational television failed to live up to it promise, and why new technologies might succeed.
