We will. It's us the machine.

“The Age of Participation, launched by the Network, is full of promises: active citizenship,
conscious use of goods, distributed creativity, collective intelligence, knowledge sharing,
data exchange. However, if you expect to see it dawning as an obvious and inevitable future,
it will turn at last into its opposite and produce a new, broad mass of excluded.”

Anthropocentric technologies

We situate here, in the age of m-learning,

which despite being a development of e-
learning, is not just Electronic, but
Mobile.
M-learning introduces elements of
flexibility, usability, access,
circulation, portability, which accept the
challenge to create a vast learning
environment, always easily attainable and
rich in iperconnections with resources and
people.

Training teachers to an ethic informatic culture

Openness is a widespread attitude of care,

in the academic and teaching sphere, for
culture in free and open formats, aiming at
the global growth of the whole society. The
concept involves not only budget sparing,
but actual ethic care for the digital-
culture divide (DCD). Finally, to be
conscious builders of collective connective
knowledge it is necessary to provide all
produced objects with the correct metadata.
