The Future of Learning Institutions in a Digital Age (John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation Reports on Digital Media and Learning) Overview

In this report, Cathy Davidson and David Theo Goldberg focus on the potential for shared and interactive learning made possible by the Internet. They argue that the single most important characteristic of the Internet is its capacity for world-wide community and the limitless exchange of ideas. The Internet brings about a way of learning that is not new or revolutionary but is now the norm for today’s graduating high school and college classes. It is for this reason that Davidson and Goldberg call on us to examine potential new models of digital learning and rethink our virtually enabled and enhanced learning institutions.

Customer Reviews

The "Digital Age" that we live in has been the subject of many (perhaps too many) books, articles, essays and blogs recently. Who has not lived in a cave in recent years, recognizing that the pace of technological progress is increasing, and many of the traditional forms of communication, work and shopping are constantly redefined. Despite all this, have the role and form of higher education hardly changed, as well as PowerPoint presentations replaces mostThat style of writing-on-a-table. On the other hand, it is unclear whether one of these new technologies, in fact, help the learning process. As someone that many of these trends in the college classes I had taught, implemented, I must admit that the jury is still about the actual impact of new digital technologies to students.

This short book raises many interesting points, and there is evidence of book learning and various publishing tools that Ilike to try. The book was written with some of these tools in a very collaborative process. It offers a recipe for implementing many of these tools and techniques in science. However, I am not clear what would be for the implementation of these tools and teaching methods. In fact, there is little hard analysis in this book that are more social in scientific publications. Overall, this book provides more points of departure for furtherConsideration as good ideas for the further development of higher education. It 's a good read, if not wait too long.
