http://mitworld.mit.edu
web resources are becoming central to popular culture
government run,
standard driven
centrally-determined,
all-inclusive curriculum
high cost
faculty run
participatory
niche (global)
student / peer driven
low cost to create
low cost to deploy
If an institution can sell a million copies of one (excellent) online course versus a full degree, have they fulfilled their mission?

Paradigm shift
Evolution of Curriculum through Web 2.0?:
<PARADIGM SHIFT?>
How do you retain academic integrity?
How will organizations redefine profitability?
How do you support this new architecture from a distributed campus perspective?
How will government policies react to the web in the future (DOLPA - moral panic)?
Mixing, converging, distributing student generated course material...
Open ID – url as your identity
Open Course Ware – on line + free
CC- Creative Commons – some rights reserved. What does this mean. Enforceable?
Tagging – categorizing the content yourself – no longer the Dewey Decimal System
Contrarians: Is this learning or entertainment. Stimulation or true analysis of the topic?
Increasing the “digital divide” btw “the haves and have nots?”
