Just a quick note on a couple of new books that have made my reading list. I’ve just started on The World is Open — no impressions yet, as I’ve just made it through the introduction.

The World Is Open: How Web Technology Is Revolutionizing Education – Curtis J. Bonk
Technological development and the Internet have opened up learning to the point where anyone can learn anything from anyone else at any time. To help explain this highly complex situation and its implications for education, both formal and informal, Curtis J. Bonk outlines ten key technology and learning trends. Using a model called “WE-ALL-LEARN,” Dr. Bonk shows how technology has transformed educational opportunities for learners as well as of innovators from the worlds of technology and education that reveal the power of opening up the world of learning.
