today: 250 - 350 pages, ~90% done by students
higher motivation & deeper learning
much smaller participation gap
Unconferences -> Unseminars?
Barcamps -> Unicamps?

summary
• change won‘t be automatic
• internet-savvy students remixing the web: rare
• technology is at hand
• we need to change the architecture
• paradigm shift: openess & distributed authority
• brick & mortar more important than ever
• we need to train next gen teachers and students
