Hi Patrick,
Just a quickish response to:
“Is Education 3.0, Web 3.0 or Web2.0-2.0 (my Web2.0 “goes to eleven”) really all about integration and interoperability?”
Education 3.0, as Philip and I conceived it in our paper
(http://firstmonday.org/htbin/cgiwrap/bin/ojs/index.php/fm/article/view/1625/1540 ) is not a technology but a consequence of the emergence of technologies generally recognized as Web 2.0 (I suppose you could paraphrase Microsoft, and say Web 2.0 or better), as well as changes to the way in which individuals and institutions behave. This includes recognizing learning , as opposed to recognizing crude measures of having been taught (which is mostly what we do now with some exceptions).
There is a bit more on Education 3.0, including something on the framework of openness idea in my blog at http://www.dkeats.com/blog/
Scroll down past the Sekuru and the Sharks (and perhaps past the pics I will be posting there tonight), past the twitter mashup, and you will find it there entitled “Challenges for Quality Assurance in an Education 3.0 world”. There is a slidecast as well as a PDF of the paper given at the UNESCO conference on Quality assurance.
Some of the keys to Education 3.0 are
- students owning and managing their own learning;
- aggregated courses are not the only way to get accredited learning;
- institutional boundaries are more permeable;
- processes are in place to recognize and accredit learning no matter what the source.
Hope this is useful.
