Dewey in the Cloud: Pragmatist Educational Theory & E-Learning
A new era in computing is on the rise, and it is called the Cloud. Not surprisingly, the Cloud is advertised as the “future of education” mostly because of its technological advantages. Is this the same future as envisioned by John Dewey 100 years ago? Julija Naskova asks, can this pragmatist’s principles such as democratic education and experience in learning be applied to the Cloud successfully? Or is this going to be another failed attempt at revolutionizing education?
