overview

This profile explores the shape of learning, teaching and information resources in the digital environment.

It covers -

• introduction - an orientation about key issues, developments and arguments
• infrastructure - questions about digital divides, the nature of the 'wired classroom' and the use of digital technology in teaching within educational institutions, organisations and homes
• ICT lifeskills - 'smart consumers' (cyber-security starts at your desktop), lifelong education and the binary proletariat
• curriculum and resources - shaping curriculum for the age of the internet, knowledge management, visions of the online global library and voluntarist initiatives such as wiki
• commerce - business courseware, the for-profit virtual university and its competitors, 'enterprise education' in the K12 sector and freeware

It supplements discussion elsewhere on this site regarding the information economy, e-Publishing, intellectual property and life in the digital environment.
