Apprentissage et logiciels sociaux

Un texte très riche sur les richesses éducatives offertes par les logiciels sociaux. Ici aussi, l’ouverture est au coeur de la définition :

“… we need to facilitate the development of open systems that allow different social software resources to communicate with each other, the creation of a centralised resource to allow teachers and children to access these tools, and the integration of a range of small social software tools into the desktop operating environments of learners. Equally, it should be realised that interoperability does not necessarily have to be realised through rigid standards, which may be counter-productive to innovation […].

Our question, in this paper, is whether it is possible to draw on the activities emerging through social software to create learning communities which offer young people personalised, collaborative learning experiences such as those that are already emerging in the world outside the school gates”.
