| Detail: |
Universities have served important functions in society for more than
1,000 years. They have done so in part by creating places that promote
reflection, discussion, discovery and learning. For many people, the
university-as-place is central to the purposes of the university.
The university is also an idea and increasingly ideas - in the Internet
- have enormous power to stimulate learning and discovery. Indeed,
what many now describe as Web 2.0 is a view that the web is evolving
into a social environment that has the potential to extend the influence
and reach of institutions and individuals. This talk will address
the co-evolution of higher education and the Internet and will explore
issues the roles of place, expertise, and even truth, in a world of
abundant information and changing academic expectations.
