Vision for Collaborative, Networked Learning ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],A math teacher in the UK posts a weekly brain-teaser for her classes Math teachers around the world begin awarding credit for students who solve the problem every week Students around the world start competing to see who can solve the problem first every week When the math teacher runs out of problems, she solicits new ones from other users In short, moving the educational model into a collaborative, networked web application enables the same rapid, user-driven, participatory transfer of ideas and information that happens every day in “web 2.0”
