Episode Synopsis "The Living Arts: The Future of Learning"

Slides and MP3 Audio of my talk today at the University of Guelph. The title is derived from my walking tour yesterday of Mississauga, a tour that led me to the Living Arts Centre. I used this as a metaphor for a picture of education as immersion in what might be called real-world activities, showed how game based learning and workflow learning are steps in this direction, and explained how the mechanisms of content syndication and e-portfolios, as described in Scott Wilson's recent talk, are the mechanisms that make this possible. Sorry about the size of the PowerPoint (7 meg) - I need to reduce the size of some of the photos I took in Mississauga. (mpeg) By Stephen Downes, Stephen's Web, May 25, 2005
