Experiencing Knowledge - Donald Norris, Jon Mason, and Paul Lefrere, Innovate
In this article, Donald Norris, Jon Mason, and Paul Lefrere propose that the future of education in the “Knowledge Age” will entail not only a change in the technical means through which we access knowledge, but also a more substantive transformation in the way we experience knowledge. Fundamental to this transformation is a blurring of physical boundaries through which learning is separated from other aspects of daily life; a greater capacity to multitask, manage, and synthesize multiple threads of information; and much more convenient, timely access to experts and authorities in the learning process. In assessing the prospect of such transformation, the authors consider the obstacles that currently face scholars and professionals as well as the critical role of “pervasive” or “ubiquitous” computing environments as precedents for the future.
