Future of Thinking (John D. and Catherine T. Macarthur Foundation Reports on Digital Media and Learning)

by Cathy N Davidson, David Theo Goldberg

"The Future of Thinking: Learning Institutions in a Digital Age" gives a very interesting analysis of the how social media and web 2.0 could and should change the way that learning institutions structure and run their learning. The book is aimed at universities, but is equally applicable to any organisation concerned with learning or knowledge, particularly professional membership institutions, such as the British Computer Society or Royal College of General Practitioners.

The book was itself developed collaboratively, with an early draft being posted for comment and a couple of seminars to discuss the main points.
