A2K4 Panel IV: Right to Education: Realizing the Potential Digital Tools
by John Lu | February 3, 2010 | a2k4, conference | No Comments
Friday 4:00-5:30 p.m. in Room 127 at Yale Law School
Description: International human rights instruments recognize a right to education. Within this concept, primary education should be “universal, free and compulsory.” Opportunities for secondary and higher education, however, are recognized to be contingent upon the resources available to states. This panel explores how the power of digital technologies, social networking and peer production may be leveraged to reduce the costs and improve the quality of traditional educational models, so as to expand enjoyment of the right. New social media and processes of globalization have profoundly shaped the world of education in the last decade. Digital education involves more than moving existing educational practices into online spheres: it holds the potential to constitute a fundamentally new type of education. The role of this panel is to examine the key issues around the construction process of this ‘new’ education.
