Informal Learning

I’ve been thinking recently about the question of what “knowledge” actually is these days, and what form examinations will take in the future.  It’s so incredibly easy to find something out using the Internet, that fact-based recall has become, in some ways, a useless ability.  How this affects us in the future is something for the policy makers to consider when writing the next set of assessment criteria.

I came across this article via Lifehacker today, which delves deeper in the changes that websearch is making to the way we think, and ultimately, to the way we’re going to be educated in future.
