A welcome blog: Transforming the Learning Eco System

Recently, our educational system has been in the news - thanks to the HRD Minister, Kabil Sibal's educational reforms proposals. Finally, the state of the education discourse is getting some attention, and I hope it is more than a flash in the pan. While Mr. Sibal has started off with some top-heavy measures and administrative reforms, we need to seriously look at the educational paradigm and have some serious debate on how learning should be.

One aspect of learning is how to leverage community resources, especially in the context of the wide availability of the Internet as a collaborative medium to share and learn, and to make learning resources widely available. Kaushik has recently started sharing this thoughts on community based learning on his blog and set the debate in motion. Share your thoughts!
