Technology and the Global Commons

Added by the EDUCAUSE Librarian
Title:Technology and the Global Commons (ID: CSD5464)
Author(s):Diana G. Oblinger (EDUCAUSE)
Origin:Contributed by Organizations or Campuses (06/23/2008)
Type:Presentations/Speeches
Abstract:

"The days of walled-off learning, where students are separated into grades, disciplines and physical locations, are giving way to programs in which students are encouraged to look beyond lecture halls, labs, and textbooks. Technology offers opportunities to bring together people, tools, and data in a global commons . Creating a global commons requires more than removing barriers posed by subject matter, geography, economics, or age. It requires a new set of models that may challenge many of our historic assumptions about authority and education. This presentation explores principles and examples that hint at a future global commons."

The Global STEM Imperative

Added by the EDUCAUSE Librarian
Title:The Global STEM Imperative (ID: ERM0825)
Author(s):Karen A. Holbrook (The Ohio State University)
Origin:EDUCAUSE Review Articles (03/14/2008)
Type:Articles, Papers, and Reports
Abstract:

"The more recent goals -- to internationalize colleges and universities and promote global citizenship for students -- have occurred coincidentally with the realization that U.S. students are becoming less
interested in preparing for careers in the STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) fields. There is concern that the United States could find itself challenged and perhaps outcompeted by those nations that also understand the strength and dominance of preparing students in the STEM disciplines and that are focusing on capacity-building in the STEM workforce through education."
