On of the most interesting parts of this effort is that readers of this document can add their own ideas about how they think institutions might change.

One of the most important changes in higher education in the digital world will be creating a system of peer participation and managing this development for learning. This is different than creating social connections on MySpace or with other social networking technologies and yet it takes advantage of these types of tools for a specific purpose of learning.
