New learning realitiesfrom curriculum to identity
Access to information is becoming a commodity...
… traditional canons are
destabilized
… common ground is receding as a
source of cohesion
… the half-life of knowledge is
getting shorter
… self-expression is becoming generalized
Etienne and Beverly Wenger-Trayner
The 21st century will be the century of identity
If you are going to be a driving force in the strategic remaking of institutions of learning …
how can your theory and practice help address this evolving learning challenge
The future of learninga challenge for institutions
