It’s pretty easy as a Canadian to become jaded about the various reports, commisions and inquiries that our various levels of government sponsor. We’ve had no end of profound studies and reports that seemed to accurately identify both the ills and possible solutions on things like Aboriginal Self-Government<\/a> or the Concentration of Media Ownership<\/a> and yet years later see no real improvement on these matters (and yes, to be fair, those are both Federal examples).<\/p>\n

So you’ll be excused if you look on this exercise sponsored by the B.C. government to help “shape the vision, mission, goals and objectives of B.C.\u0092s post-secondary system for the next 10 to 20 years” with some skepticism. I know it’s my first inclination.<\/p>\n

And yet I am encouraged in reading some of the first things to come out of the initiative, the Think Pieces<\/a> on topics like “E-Learning and Beyond<\/a>” and the truncation found in our institutional landscapes between types of knowing<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The e-learning piece is the one I paid closest attention to so far, and it at least hits all the right notes, urging a move towards ‘elearning 2.0,’ which they characterize as having an “architecture of participation.” I’m sure someone will find fault with this paper, but it seems to me that if we don’t move in that direction as a provincial system, it won’t be because a picture of what could be wasn’t painted, by people officially asked to do so. They even go further than I think many ‘think pieces’ would in offering a set of ‘internal review questions’ in Appendix 2 for educators and administrators to use examine their current technology implementation and adoption practices. It’s a good read. Let’s hope we can all make the follow on a reality. – SWL<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
