*PLE: Definition

* What is the future of learning/knowledge?-- Shana Ratner (1997) “Emerging Issues in Learning Communities”

New: Learning as a process

Knowledge is objective and

certain

Old: Learning as transaction

Knowledge is subjective and

provisional

New: Learning as a process

Our “intelligence” is based on our

individual abilities

Old: Learning as transaction

Our “intelligence” is based on our

learning communities

•Sebastian Thrun and Peter Norvig •Google X, a lab created to incubate the company’s most ambitious and secretive projects. He was also free to pursue outside ventures.

• In a few slides, he’d spelled out the nine essential components of a university education: admissions, lectures, peer interaction, professor interaction, problem-solving, assignments, exams, deadlines, and certification.

Thank you!
