A few prominent trends continue to emerge in relation to education and media. I've tracked trends like decentralization, rise of the individual, two-way dialogue, and others in this forum. I'm starting to notice a strong focus on "remix", lately. Newer tools are placing an incredible amount of control in the hands of the end user - a consumer of media may be a "re-producer" as well. This notion has useful implications in education. Learners are teachers. Learners are content creators (compared with the previous opinion that learners were only content consumers). This simple diagram details the nature of the remix culture, with participants playing varying roles based on their interest.
