Literature Review

Abstract: Concepts of 'openness' in education hinge on interactions between individuals and organisations and boundaries within which these interactions exist. The future development of Peer-to-Peer (P2P) technologies of Higher Education rests on the critical decisions of 'openness' ('open' & 'free' education). The conceptualisations are largely influenced by those responsible for making political, economic and social decisions. I argue that NZ is currently in a favourable position to take advantage of P2P technologies because it has the basic infrastructure to support collaborative technologies (digital interconnectivity-Web 2.0 moving into Web 3.0). This literature review explores the valu...

Education and Development: Alternatives to Neoliberalism - A New Paradigm Exploring Radical Openness and the Role of the Commons and P2P Foundation as an Alternative Discourse to Creative and Innovative Modernisation.

ABSTRACT The theory of “modernisation” and the concept of “development education” have moved over the past decades from Neoliberalism to a future digital paradigm. With the advent of logarithmic development in the digital environment over the past 20 to 30 years, the concept and emerging theories about development education require a more robust assessment and exploration. The definition and the very nature of modernisation, as well as the possibilities of modernisation theory, in relation to the knowledge economy, will be discussed by drawing on the concepts of the four elements by David Suzuki (Environmentalist). Market fundamentalism is probably one of the biggest impediments to m...

Mirror Opens Ancient Temple Door.

I have produced a fictitious short story about how Lara and Alexander - the two archaeologists, found the elusive El Dorado temple and unearthed the Golden Mask. In this resource - including the exciting legend of the elusive city of El Dorado - I look at the story, the gold, the treasure, the golden mask, and a modern-day escape room. I provide prompts for using technology - in the context of creating an El Dorado-themed escape room. Inspired by my visit to an escape room in Hamilton (NZ) in December 2023, I show how technology, like digital sensors, surveillance cameras, and more, could be used in escape rooms. I use a simple microprocessor - like the Arduino Uno - to show how this micropr...
