Title: Learning to Bridge the Digital Divide

Pages: 3-3
Keywords: BOOK REVIEW
EXCERPT: Learning to Bridge the Digital Divide analyses approaches by
developed and developing countries, with special emphasis on Sweden,
Portugal, the UK, Japan, the USA and Finland. The information is based on
the Fifth US National Center on Adult Literacy and OECD Round Table, "The
Lifelong Learning and New Technologies Gap: Reaching the Disadvantaged",
which took place at the University of Pennsylvania, USA, in 1999. The
evidence contained in this volume shows that ICT can be the solution to
inequalities rather than their cause � digital diversity and opportunity
rather than digital divide. But more needs to be done to make this a
reality.
Title: It works+ but is it action learning?

Vice-Principal of Newman College of Higher Education, Bartley, Birmingham,
UK. Until August 2000 she was a member of the Faculty of Education and Sport

Pages: 64-71
abstract: Action learning offers significant opportunities for increasing
student involvement and autonomy in the learning process, but it is not
always possible to free up conventional curricula to the extent that a total
use of action learning would require. This article considers a course which
uses action learning principles alongside more traditional teaching methods
and asks whether it can truly be said to be using action learning or whether
the principles have been too far adapted for this experience to be described
by this name.

Pages: 72-81
Keywords: Workplace learning; Phenomenology intuition; Work experience
abstract: Anecdotal evidence abounds of people in workplaces who use common
sense in their work practices. Until now, the idea of common sense being a
key concept in workplace learning and practice has not been valued too
highly. Attempts have been made in psychological and philosophical
literature to understand how common sense knowledge differs from theoretical
knowledge. This study represents an initial attempt to use people's
experience in workplaces to understand how they see common sense as an
important element of workplace learning. Using a phenomenographic research
approach, it was revealed that people held seven different understandings of
common sense in workplace experiences. For them, common sense was
experienced as: a gut feeling, an innate ability, knowing how, learning,
using others, demonstrable cognitive abilities, and personal attributes.
These variations offer a broader approach to thinking about common sense in
work practices.
