This thought provoking video really hit me when I watched it yesterday. Is the university really behind? How can we catch up? What do students think of this? I posted this video in my online course and I hope my students do write some interesting comments. Is school really homogenizing students? How do we make them creative, critical thinkers? The peer production concept and harnessing collective intelligence can take us to another dimension in all fields. Personally I don’t think we are harnessing our collective intelligence. I believe that as an educator I am a facilitator to share my knowledge with my students. Each of us has something to share on all topics, but the internet has given us access across geographical areas which is phenomenal but how can our students benefit from this and increase their intelligence in ways that fit their learning styles? This is still a question I ponder on and hope to fully master in time.
