Moving beyond Education 2.0

There’s a lot of talk about moving to “Education 2.0″ –but, what would Education 3.0 look like?
Here’s my take on the Education 1.0 – 3.0 spectrum:
|
Education 1.0 |
Education 2.0 |
Education 3.0 |
|
| Meaning is… | Dictated | Socially constructed | Socially constructed and contextually reinvented |
| Technology is… | Confiscated at the classroom door (digital refugees) | Cautiously adopted (digital immigrants) | Everywhere (digital universe) |
| Teaching is done … | Teacher to student | Teacher to student and student to student (progressivism) | Teacher to student, student to student, student to teacher, people-technology-people (co-constructivism) |
| Schools are located… | In a building (brick) | In a building or online (brick and click) | Everywhere (thoroughly infused into society: cafes, bowling alleys, bars, workplaces, etc.) |
| Parents view schools as… | Daycare | Daycare | A place for them to learn, too |
| Teachers are… | Licensed professionals | Licensed professionals | Everybody, everywhere |
| Hardware and software in schools… | Are purchased at great cost and ignored | Are open source and available at lower cost | Are available at low cost and are used purposively |
| Industry views graduates as… | Assembly line workers | As ill-prepared assembly line workers in a knowledge economy | As co-workers or entrepreneurs |
Great summary of where education is moving to. Seems you were inspired by semantic web tech, virtual worlds and the trend toward super-connectivity, all of which are of course going to transform education and the world.
For the “Teaching is done” slot, do you also see information “objects” or structures as a key element? I’ve been doing a lot of thinking about the semantic web, and it seems that as the quality of the info packaging increases and is facilitated by baby-AI that human-to-info learning will be bettered. Are you lumping this in with tech?
Very cool post.

Thanks for the comments!
Education 3.0 needs to move away from focusing on information, which can be construed as “objects” by some definitions. Education 3.0 moves more toward the contextual development of information into personal knowledge –which has both tacit and explicit components, making it an intangible that cannot be objectified.
Attending to knowledge as abstract intangibles is the key challenging for both the development of the Semantic Web and Education 3.0. So, yes, the two concepts are closely related and the development of both will be closely intertwined.

Have you seen this? A startup called Adaptive Blue is launching a product called Blue Organizer (hope I linked that correctly) which, to quote Tech Crunch, “lets you surf things instead of Web pages. It recognizes when a Webpage that you are browsing is about certain classes of things: books, movies, music, stocks, recipes, restaurants, blogs, wine, clothing, electronics, celebrities, musicians, hotels. And it creates shortcuts to other Webpges about that same “thing” (or object).”
To clarify, this is an example of the new sorts of semantic “objects” that have my brain whirling and would seem to transform knowledge into more of an abstract intangible, as you put it. A new human-to-info / info-to-human relationship could emerge were these abstract intanglible objects
more or less alive or active if coded with certain characteristics and behavior. –Twine.com (by Nova Spivack) is a fledging app that seems to be more focused on the behavior of information packets or twines.– If these “objects” get smart enough then perhaps we will be able to teach them and they to, reciprocally, teach us?
In case I butchered the insertion above, here’s the Adaptive Blue link again:

wonderful job. i hope you’ll check out the KnowledgeWorks Map of Future Forces Affecting Education; it supports many of the trends you call out. i particularly like the co-creation aspect.

Alvis, are you suggesting that we can track knowledge as objects? (I really don’t think that’s possible…!!)

@ John
It looks to me like we’re about to see apps that can effectively pool related knowledge far better than current search engines can, thus forming objects or pseudo-objects. So my answer to your question is yes, morphous objects, but still objects. Using such tools, I can imagine tasks like filling in wikipedia will get much, much easier. Thus, the terms in wikipedia will become more “alive” and autonomously generating. These morphous objects will then enable new types of interaction with people.
Mind you, my statements are still in the realm of speculation / imagination, but nevertheless there may be emerging a tendency for information systems to gradually boot-strap up to becoming more self-aware and self-defining.

Derek– I really like your taxonomy!! But, what you label as Education 2.0, I would still label as Education 1.0 because what is taught doesn’t change in the space between Ed 1.0 and Ed 2.0 in your spectrum. As long as we’re using new technologies to teach the same old crap, we’ll be stuck in Ed 1.0.
Your Ed 3.0 aligns well with my Ed 2.0 as an “orchestrator of collaborative knowledge creation,” put really reads as an extension of progressivism. I think that if you look at it from a (new) knowledge production perspective rather than one that is focused on content delivery, a new vision for Ed 3.0 will emerge…

Today’s education aims at constructing knowledge to become the global member of knowledge driven society.In this context,the adoption of 3.0 education pillar in our education landscape is a matter of great importance.The 3.0 concept of education needs to to be implemented to equip every learner to face the emerging challanges of 21st century.

Interesting that you think that our view of Education 3.0 is focused on content delivery. If that is the case, then we need to rewrite our explanation of it. Certainly, this is not our intention. Rather our view deals with institutional arrangements that foster and permit “new modes of knowledge production” as you call them. Of course, it is possible that you are using content in a difference sense than I would use it. regards, derek
