Thanks to useful link in Kaja Tampere’s blog I just finished watching Prof. Wesch video lecture A Portal to Media Literacy.
I really like his approach to learning, and his concept of making up ones own mind and seeing the connections out there, that brings education back to good old Jesuit principles nowadays followed only in a handful of private schools that educate a few elected thousand students. But then again, if one just follows it blindly, then in my opinion he renders his own suggestions by pointing students toward the Wikipedia and similar places as a source because irrelevant the discussion behind the wiki articles they are and remain PR writings merely mirroring the necessary public opinion on the matter and not the financial and political ties behind. But if one possesses the capability to think on ones’ own then Weshe’s guidelines are the best on learning I have heard through formal education system yet and his data gathering and connection making suggestions are essential to prosper on every walk of life.
To conclude I would not limit this video to e-learning but would expand it to every other 2.0 field, especially enterprise 2.0 and me 2.0.
