As you point out technology should be used by students to create their own learning material. They should be faciliatated and encouraged to be creative and not stick to traditional essay writing. There is no wonder many students are turned off by education as it simply doen not reflect real society. Education needs to reflect this instead of believing they are changing my simply giving access to material 24/7.

However, due to Web2.0 and collaborative initiatives, it is possible for people to learn new skills by eLearning. I am hoping that a tool such a Mediawiki could foster continious improvement within education areas. Why reinventing the wheel if students could continue with educational development where others finished. A wiki is an excellent tool for this? dont you think best regards Boudewijn within the Netherlands it is very common that traditional structures such as government and education are very slow adapting to new technology.
