In the last decade, there has been a significant decline in paper based publications, and an upsurge in e-books and other forms of digital representation of knowledge. Knowledge is now available in many different forms and formats, some of which are openly accessible and editable. One area under threat is the publishing industry.

In such situations, our theoretical knowledge of these complexities can enable us to find new practical ways to obviate the problems. Boundaries also mark a transition from one state to another.

This is because I love to learn about human behaviour and perception, and always crave more knowledge about what makes us who we are. Although I don't often teach it directly, I find it infuses much of my teaching. I have a passion for psychology, and it somehow surfaces within just about everything I do as a teacher.

If we can search for and find just about any knowledge on the web these days, the key question must be: what is left that we cannot search for?

We had a wide ranging discussion about other kinds of assessment (diagnostic, ipsative, triadic, etc), and a deep and meaningful debate about the nature of knowledge. I think we all agreed that in this information rich society, knowledge is changing, and that in some cases ''knowing'' itself is taking on new meaning. Unported License.

Pedagogy in the best sense of the word is where knowledgeable others such as teachers and experts provide the guidance and support for good learning to be optimised. Co-production of knowledge is emerging as a new model for learning in the digital age. This is what schools in the idealistic sense should be modelled upon.
