Information from a variety of digital devices<br \/>\nthat we now carry with us at all times is reshaping the way we<br \/>\nperceive the world and interact with it. Online collaboration and<br \/>\nsocial networking now play a major role in how we acquire and spread<br \/>\nknowledge.<\/p>\n<p>How can educational institutions take advantage of the increasing<br \/>\npopularity and dissemination of these technologies? How can<br \/>\nindividuals and institutions benefit from the massive increase of<br \/>\nparticipatory and collaborative learning in our society? What are the<br \/>\nmajor challenges in education today, in the sciences and the<br \/>\nhumanities? What are the new educational trends and paradigms for the<br \/>\ncoming decades? What kind of new learning contexts can be created<br \/>\noutside of traditional institutions?<\/p>\n<p>The recent MacArthur report on The Future of Learning Institutions in<br \/>\nthe Digital Age provides one set of responses to these questions.
