FreshEd #347 – Learning in a Time of Abundance (Dave Cormier)

Today we explore the challenges and opportunities of learning in a digital age. How can we navigate our world of abundant information? What social norms are changing and what new social norms do we need? And what does the smartphone, Generative AI, and platform algorithms mean for education? My guest is Dave Cormier, a learning specialist at the University of Windsor, who is credited with coining the term MOOC – or Massive Open Online Course – in 2008. Dave’s new book is Learning in a Time of Abundance: The community is the Curriculum (Johns Hopkins University Press, 2024). https://freshedpodcast.com/cormier/ -- Get in touch!
