Most important point for educators/trainers to understand:
Learning is not simply a content consumption process. Learning is also a content creation process. This can’t happen if the flow of knowledge is one way.

What is valued in an information ecology/economy?

• Time - how quickly is the information available?
• Connections - how do pieces fit?
• Openness - can anyone contribute?
• Diversity - are varying voices heard?
• Currency - is the information current?
• History (searchable) - is a knowledge trail left behind for others to follow?
• Scalable - can people/content increase without damaging the usefulness
