It is very late (early-in the morning actually) and I cannot sleep, for all of the ideas, assignments, deadlines swirling around in my head (it does not help that my pump up bed has developed a lop-sided aspect - but that is another story).
It is curious to me that the pace of change at the instruction level in universities is so slow. Technology and its impact have revolutionized so much. Connectivity and access to information has turned learning upside down. We are all on a journey, all learners, all of the time. Yet, the very way that the buildings and rooms are configured negates much of that connectivity for instructional purposes. The way that most courses are delivered has not changed significantly over time. That is why the work of Michael Wesch [1]is so exciting. He is using the new web 2.0 communication tools in university education to great excitement, understanding and, well, learning. He is developing it with the students. He is demonstrating his own learning journey.
I have hope.
