Stephen Downes

Knowledge, Learning, Community
Longish article summarizing some recent developments in the use of the internet to support education. It's more of an introductory piece, because the topics discussed - Open Culture, Khan Academy, Academic Earth, P2P University, Skillshare, Scitable, and Skype - will all be familiar to OLDaily readers. But it`s a list that represents a certain perspective, the idea of online learning as the delivery of online content. The question posed at the end, "can the Internet really replace higher education?" is a bit of a red herring, but reflects the perspective that 'higher education' means 'universities and colleges' and nothing else.
