“Books are designed to contain all the information required to stop inquiries within the book’s topic. But now that our medium can handle far more ideas and information, and now that it is a connective medium (ideas to ideas, people to ideas, people to people), our strategy is changing. And that is changing the very shape of knowledge.”

“At this age, they get stuck on Wikipedia being the answer to everything and they forget that people can be a really great resource.”

“Bringing smart people together is an ancient and effective technique for developing ideas. The Net also lets smart people connect and communicate...

But the Net brings people together in new and occasionally weird configurations—a weirdness that is now being reflected in how expertise works....”

Tell that to Chris Avenir

Tell that to Chris AvenirRyerson University sites 3 reasons for the case against him.

1.Learning should be hard.

2.There is no structure of regulation for online behavior and that makes it incompatible with academic work.

3.It is our job to protect academic integrity from any threat.

i.e. Unless learning is hard and is directed by others, it fails to meet the standard for academic rigor.

“[T]he word “publishing” means a cadre of professionals who are taking on the incredible difficulty and complexity and expense of making something public. That’s not a job anymore. That’s a button. There’s a button that says “publish,” and when you press it, it’s done.”
