Higher education through social software: the end of the school as we know it.
Looking ahead on how higher education can evolve.
Bloglearning and wiki cooperation can replenish, improve and even replace universities as they exist today. These social inventions can make social learning measurable for both universities as employers. Uniform education is neither needed nor wanted anymore. Learning can become interaction again. Learners can communicate throughout their blogs with other learners and thus gain credits in certain fields of knowledge. Universities invest in neutral scientific research and hand out diploma's and doctorates. Professors have a high amount of earned credits, communicate with learners and work together on wikitheories. These are wiki's that are to be seen for the world, but that can only to be touched by experts. Learners can contribute to both these wikitheories and their own education by discussing them over the web.
In the paper, wiki's are put forward as bearers of falsified knowledge, and blogs as falsification tools.
