Highlighting the fast paced nature of the web, Thomas and Seely-Brown (2011) suggest that peer learning can be both timely yet transient. This is due to the challenge that ‘students teaching themselves’ might pose to the privileged knowledge and power structures many formal educational institutions continue to hold in such high regard.

We use a lot of words in education without really understanding what they mean. Take the word ''education'' for example. Education is often associated with schooling, but to assume that the two are one and the same would be a serious error. Education, if experienced in its pure form, is liberating, mind-expanding, essential.

This perspective is championed by Nicholas Carr (2011), who provocatively argues that habituated use of search tools such as Google is 'making us stupid'. She suggests that it is an error for universities to invest more in technology than in teacher development, and in so doing, opens a debate on the future of education in the digital age.

There has been a lot of discussion recently about the personalisation of education. The sticking point is that most education is publicly funded, the state has a major stake in how it's conducted, and therefore dictates what should be taught in schools. This is universal education, and if one size does not fit all.

Others have also written recently about radical ideas about how to effect the transformation of education many of us wish to see.

An enormous amount of things need changing and a great deal of reform needs to be done, particularly in the compulsory education sector. So education sits where it is with little or no forward movement and it stagnates. Don't even get me started on post compulsory education. But we don't have a road map. We'd be here all night.

Don't get me wrong, video has its place in education. But by any stretch of the imagination, just watching a video cannot be seen as a viable substitute for good learning, and should not be used to replace campus based education just for the sake of it. Sounds like the old style distance education to me. We learn by teaching.
