My Impressions on "What Web 2.0 can Teach the Open Education Movement"

When I entered the room for "Web 2.0" they were still finishing the previous session on the Peer-to-Peer University.  Although it sounds like an interesting model for group projects, I don't think p2p universities work well where a strong subject matter expert is required.  They suggested initially starting the course with professors from established universities.  Once beginning students have trained, they become the new teachers for the next class.  While I think this sounds like a nice idea, I still don't understand how it's sustainable based on anything oClick here to read more »
