We need a revolution right?In a world where technologies change daily and graduates armed
with four-year degrees are entering the workforce in record numbers, there is an increasing fear among the Net Generation that a four-year degree will be neither relevant nor suffi cient preparation when it becomes time to enter the work force (Windham 2005)
It is amazing to me how in all the hoopla and debate these days about the decline of education in the US we ignore the most fundamental of its causes. Our students have changed radically. Today’s students are no longer the people our educational system was designed to teach.(Prensky 2001)
the online learning environment is not peripheral, or merely a technological issue for universities and educators to resolve, but rather that it represents the means by which higher education comes to understand the requirements and changes in society, and thus the route by which it maintains its relevance to society (Weller 2008)

The Net Gen myth• Change in context – prevalence of ICTs• Only partial evidence for lack of relevance• Overestimate net gen skills• Seeing generational diff where this none:
“they want parameters, rules, priorities, and procedures … they think of the world as scheduled and someone must have the agenda. As a result, they like to know what it will take to achieve a goal. Their preference is for structure rather than ambiguity.”(Oblinger & Oblinger 2005)

But…• People are learning in diff ways• Google, YouTube, Facebook, Wikipedia stats hint
at learning• Specific communities• OERs

How should we respond?
• Claims for urgent revolution are overstated• But…• We should view it as unprecedented
opportunity to facilitate learning different things in different ways

Which means?
• Embrace openness• Share, share, share• Experiment• Use non-educational technology• Think beyond the course….
