An interesting quote to start the day talking about where education is headed
“. . . an educational age where we increasingly value active learning, student initiative, diverse voices, opensource research, open-ended questions, collaborative problem-solving, working well with others . . .” (Troftgruben, Troy. “Collaborative Wikis as Final Exams”, Wabash Journal of Teaching, May 2021, p.60)
I’m always on the other side where librarians live. Do we know what an open source library would look like? How many paper books would there be? Can all digital research be found for free? When is a digital copy a “copy” and not “pirated”? How do you enforce that?
That started my thinking this morning. Unfortunately I think I know a number of the answers – and I don’t particularly like them. Especially for the cash strapped post secondary student!!
