Stephen Downes

Knowledge, Learning, Community
Talk given at the Australian School Library Association XIX Biennial Conference in Canberra in April. Looks at the changing needs of students in conjunction with studies sceptical of computers in learning (such as the PISA study, which is still (unfortunately) making the rounds). The paper looks at, among other things, "the need to both embrace digital cultures and strengthen thinking, problem-solving and creativity if students are to be users, explorers and creators in a digital world, not merely consumers."
