- ACCESSS The learning environment is changing. Students study where they want and when they can. They SMS each other, use email, and get online in the middle of the night and look for pre-written papers and faculty ratings. Thus the idea that learning is contained in a classroom is not really reality, and becoming less so. How can we use technology to broaden our notion of the learning environment without being everywhere all of the time?

- Courses on Facebook Scivee -SciVee invites scientists to make their research known by combining their published scientific article with a corresponding video into an online presentation called a “SciVee pubcast.” The community can then freely view your presentation and engage in virtual discussions with you and other SciVee members about your research directly through commentary, community discussions and blogging features. SciVee also encourages everyone interested in science to create a free membership and join existing scientific communities or create their own new community around specific scientific interests where discussions and events can be organized, shared and documented.
- These tools illustrate how students can interact and construct outside of campus resources in ways that support lifelong learning. DSH is not a physically centralized system. Instead, DSH is designed to work as a decentralized network of hubs and spokes. Each hub is a center of education excellence and the hubs themselves "talk" to each other. The spokes are typically the poor rural and urban slum schools that need help the most, schools that lack good teachers, good content, and other resources. Each hub works on content production (typically in a local language), content dissemination in its neighborhood, teacher training, monitoring, and evaluation, and interacting and sharing with other hubs.
- Publishers are trying to re-conceive the industry, each is watching its competitor -they have the content but no process. They can lead the way in this area.
