Is learning changing? Discussion Question #6

“[T]he days when learning meant training, knowledge meant information, and “content was king” seem to be fading.” http://www.johnseelybrown.com/intro_learningculture.html

Is this statement true about your work? The work of University of Illinois Extension?
When? Why or why not? Give an example?

It seems to be that a central part of our efforts ought to be engaging people in not just being the recipients of education, but also contributing their knowledge and expertise. This is an extension tradition, but I wonder if we don't need to think about this more systematically and think about new opportunities to make this happen.
