Introduction to the Open University’s Social:Learn project
Posted by Jay Savage on June 18, 2008
Martin Weller from the Open University has posted his very interesting introduction to the theory and methodology behind The Open University’s new Social:Learn program, which will be an attempt to leverage web 2.0 ideas and methodologies–as well as web 2.0 tools–for learning. The talk is really centered around this question: “How can you get that sort of wiki, open source enthusiasm that people have for creating and sharing content into higher education, while still maintaing those values we hold to in higher education?”
