Seely Brown goes on to suggest that the way we learn is changing. With the increasing amounts of information being readily available on the Web, there is a shift to discovery based or experiential-based learning.

Seely Brown suggests a third and substantially more subtle shift pertains to forms of reasoning. Reasoning classically has been concerned primarily with deductive, abstract types of reasoning. But what is happening to today�s kids as they work in this new digital medium has much more to do with bricolage than abstract logic It has to do with the ability to find something - an object, tool, piece of code, document-and to use it in a new way and in a new context. You have to be able to decide whether or not to believe or trust those things So in some interesting sense the need for making judgments is greater than ever.

If these are the new skills for learning then it makes big differences to how we design and deliver learning programmes. Most ICT based platforms and learning materials have been based on Instructional Design. Stephen Downes said in a recent interview that ISD is the educational equivalent of dictatorship. Of sure, you are as a student given some choices - carefully designed state-sanctioned choices. But there is no freedom to explore, follow one's own interests, to wander through the hills and dales of the knowledge wonderland that lies beyond.
