Education and Internet

While researching for actuell topics, I found an interesting site, “Mashable.com” – which expresses in an excellent way, how technologie/media (here the web2.0) can be used as an efficient tool to stay informed and to concentrate on topics, without having to search “the whole web”.

e.g. – here you can follow topics concerning: education, online-education, infographics … give it a try!

What I found especially interesting was this infographic, about how internet influences (or can/could??) influence education. It says: “Internet has enabled a revolution, transforming traditional educational institutes and E-Learning organzisations to a new-era organization offering a whole new way of lerning for free”

BUT: What about the preconditions? What about devolopment-stages necessery to be able to learn selforganizised? What about whole countries/continents far away from “Internet for all”?

This is excactly what I mean by speaking about the necessity to combine multidisciplinary sciences and theories when searching new solutions and modells.

Internet IS a great tool, and yes, it has the potential to change the way we learn. But – speaking of  “revolutionizing education” should not ignore a majority of about 4/5 of the worlds population, who are not “online”. It should at least be mentioned …

So – first find the Graphic via http://www.onlineeducation.net/ found on http://mashable.com/2011/06/11/online-education-infographic/

and to underline the above arguments, an other graphic, which explains better than words can do, that “global is relativ” – a chapter from my bachelor thesis – which I will publish and discuss within the next weeks.

I would be glad, if you join the discussion!

    Does your website have a contact page? I’m having trouble locating
    it but, I’d like to send you an email. I’ve got
    some creative ideas for your blog you might be interested in hearing.

    Either way, great blog and I look forward to seeing it expand
    over time.

    Having read this I believed it was extremely enlightening.
    I appreciate you finding the time and energy to
    put this short article together. I once again find myself personally spending a lot of time both reading
    and leaving comments. But so what, it was still worthwhile!
