Knowledge Society
Information = facts, comments, opinions, expressed through words, images, sounds... Information can be stored and circulated...
Knowledge = the output of the reconstruction of information by a person, according to his/her history and context. It depends on the person.
Information can be transmitted
Knowledge must be acquired and constructed

Knowledge Society
• Information society: A society where information is ‘good’ and can be exchanged, bought, sold, stored, transported, processed. A society of the digital divide.
• Knowledge society: A human society, where knowledge should bring justice, solidarity, democracy, peace... A society where knowledge could be a force for changing society. A society which should provide universal and equitable access to information (http://www.itu.int/wsis/docs2/tunis/off/6rev1.html).

Education in a networked society
‘The Internet is mainly a tool … more recently … it is used for perfecting our intelligence through cooperation and exchange… The true revolution of the Internet is not at all a revolution of machines, but of communication between human beings…
The Internet enhances our capacity for collective learning and intelligence… Each community realises that it is one of the dimensions of the production of the human sense… The Internet forces us to experiment with new ways of being together… The ethics of collective intelligence, consisting in interlacing different points of view…’ (Levy, 2000, p. 25)
