Self Organised Learning and Mediation Environments - the future of schools?

 

 

 

The talk reports on experiments with self organised learning by groups of children with free, unsupervised access to the Internet in public spaces. The original experiments, often called the 'hole in the wall'' experiments, lead to the creation of SOLEs, Self Organised Learning Environments with remote mediation over the Internet from a SOME, a Self Organised Mediation Environment. It is proposed that SOLEs and SOMEs can replace schooling in areas where good schools cannot exist and good teachers are not available.
