This blurb is from a conference proposal by Sebastian Fiedler...thought for the day: "Traditional instructional models within higher education are evidently insufficient to meet challenges of learning and working within the new information economy, mainly due to the primacy of the teacher in micro-managing learning goals and processes. The advent of the Web has leveled information access and status, and in the past few years, numerous informal communities of practice have emerged that sustain and develop within different frameworks of learning and facilitation."
