All Blacks - I have no idea. But it's first intermission in the Stanley Cup FInals so I've had a chance to catch up on the discussions. To address Derek's question:
“I am just wondering if there are any readers who think the notion of Education 3.0 is radicallywrong or bad, and if the idea of self-learning using Free and Open Resources is something thatwe should reject? Will it happen? Who thinks about autogogy?”
I think it's already happening, especially in technology. Many contributors to open source projects are self taught programmers who found a tool that satisfied a need, then began development for personal use. As a manager within several IT departments, I have valued practical experience over formal credentials in my hires. The various projects a person has worked with and tools like Brainbench have helped me to identify some of the most skilled and “educated” developers. I've met several folks with their MCSE/MCSA or a degree in CS that can't contribute.
